I need some new chicken recipes. Anyone have any?

Tuscan Chicken with Tomato-Basil Relish and Toasted Almond Broccoli








1/2 cup diced plum tomatoes


2 tablespoons diced red onion


1/4 cup sliced, drained sweet pimientos


1/4 cup snipped fresh basil leaves


1/2 teaspoon balsamic vinegar


Salt and freshly ground black pepper


3/4 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts


Olive oil spray


Toasted Almond Broccoli, recipe follows








Mix tomatoes, onions, sweet pimientos, and basil together in a small bowl. Add vinegar and toss to mix. Add salt and pepper, to taste. Set aside.


Place chicken between 2 pieces of waxed paper or aluminum foil and flatten with a meat mallet or the bottom of a heavy skillet to 1/2-inch thick. Heat a large nonstick skillet on medium-high heat and spray with olive oil spray. Add chicken and saute 3 minutes per side. Sprinkle salt and pepper, to taste, on the cooked sides. Divide between 2 dinner plates and spoon the tomato relish on top.








Toasted Almond Broccoli:


4 tablespoons sliced almonds


1/2 pound broccoli florets (4 cups)


2 teaspoons olive oil


Salt and freshly ground black pepper





Heat a nonstick skillet on medium heat and add almonds. (This can be done in the same skillet used for the chicken.) Saute 1 minute or until almonds are golden, not brown. Remove and set aside.


Steam the broccoli in a collapsible steamer, set up in a pot filled with 1 inch of water. Alternatively, place broccoli in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave on high for 4 minutes. Remove and add oil and salt and pepper, to taste. Toss well. Sprinkle almonds on top.I need some new chicken recipes. Anyone have any?
This recipe is extremely easy!





Marinate some chicken breasts for at least a couple of hours in Italian dressing (low fat works fine) Then arrange in a dish and put sliced onions on top of each piece, and bake. While thats baking, start a pot of couscous. I put a spoonful of chicken boullion stuff in it, for flavor. Serve the chicken on top of the couscous and spoon some of the liquid from the dish over it.





Serve with steamed vegetables.I need some new chicken recipes. Anyone have any?
Roasted Chicken with Ginger, Chile, and Lime


Serves 4 | Prep time: 30 minutes | Total time: 1 hour 30 minutes





Ingredients


2 tablespoons plus 陆 teaspoon butter, at room temperature


1 shallot, finely chopped (about 2 tablespoons)


1 piece (2 inches long) fresh ginger, peeled and finely chopped (about 2 tablespoons)


1 tablespoon finely chopped pickled jalape帽o chile


1 tablespoon fresh lime juice


2 teaspoons ground coriander


Coarse salt and ground pepper


1 whole chicken (3 陆 pounds)


2 large onions, thickly sliced


1 lime, cut into 8 wedges (optional)





Instead of being rubbed on the skin, spicy ginger-chile butter is spread under the skin, giving the meat a more intense flavor.


Make the ginger-chile butter: In a small bowl, using a spoon, mash together 2 tablespoons butter, shallot, ginger, jalape帽o, lime juice, coriander, 1 teaspoon salt, and 录 teaspoon pepper. Set aside.


Preheat oven to 425掳. Using fingers, gently loosen skin from chicken breasts. With a small spoon, insert butter mixture evenly between skin and meat; pat skin back down. Tie chicken legs together with cotton kitchen twine; tuck wing tips underneath. Rub chicken with remaining 陆 teaspoon butter; season generously with salt and pepper. On a rimmed baking sheet, arrange onions in a single layer; place chicken on top.


Roast until chicken is well browned and an instant-read thermometer inserted in a thigh (without touching bone) reads 175掳, 50 to 60 minutes. Transfer chicken to a cutting board, and tent with oil; let rest 10 minutes (the temperature will rise by about 5 degrees).


On baking sheet, stir onions together with pan juices. Carve chicken; serve with onions and, if desired, lime wedges.
2 pkg. chicken cutlets, pounded thin


Flour, salt, pepper and paprika


2 eggs, lightly beaten


1 lg. (10 1/2 oz.) can chicken broth


1 stick butter


3 lg. lemons





Mix enough flour, salt, pepper and paprika to dip the chicken in. Dip chicken in egg and flour lightly. Brown chicken in large greased skillet. Melt butter in the chicken broth and squeeze the juice of (2) of the lemons into the mixture (remove pits). In large baking pan, place the chicken cutlets into a single layer. Pour the broth mixture over the chicken, slice 1 lemon and garlic. Bake covered in 350 degree oven 20 minutes.
Chicken Parmesen is so easy!





All you have to do is put skinless, boneless chicken breasts (that have been seasoned) in a pan that you would put in the oven. Cover the chicken with a tomato sauce. Then drizzle Quattro Formaggio (a blend of cheeses that you can get at Trader Joes) over everything. Then cook in the oven for 30-40 min.





So yummy!
Seeing how it is winter I suggest trying Maryland Chicken or smothered chicken. Have you tried chicken %26amp; waffles? Yum yum. I like to make chicken, pasta, alfredo sauce, then add green peas, and toasted walnuts. Very filling and delicious!!
