What are some good recipes for chicken breasts?

this is the best








Apple Stuffed Chicken Breast





INGREDIENTS


2 skinless, boneless chicken breasts


1/2 cup chopped apple


2 tablespoons shredded Cheddar cheese


1 tablespoon Italian-style dried bread crumbs


1 tablespoon butter


1/4 cup dry white wine


1/4 cup water


1 tablespoon water


1 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch


1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley, for garnish





DIRECTIONS


Combine apple, cheese, and bread crumbs. Set aside.


Flatten chicken breasts between sheets of waxed paper to 1/4 inch thickness. Divide apple mixture between chicken breasts, and roll up each breast. Secure with toothpicks.


Melt butter or margarine in a 7 inch skillet over medium heat. Brown stuffed chicken breasts. Add wine and 1/4 cup water. Cover. Simmer for 15 to 20 minutes, or until chicken is no longer pink.


Transfer chicken to a serving platter. Combine 1 tablespoon water and cornstarch; stir into juices in pan. Cook and stir until thickened. Pour gravy over chicken, and garnish with parsley. Serve.What are some good recipes for chicken breasts?
Fill up a medium sized sauce pan with water, add 2 tablespoons of Italian seasoning, 1/3rd of a cube of butter, add 4 whole Skinless chicken breasts. Bring to a boil until chicken is done. Strain and cube chicken into bite size bits. Put chicken into a 2 inch deep baking pan. Add one bag of broccoli and one bag of carrots (put in as much as you care for). Pour your favorite Alfredo Sauce (I personally like Newman's) 2 jars is perfect. Just so you have barely covered everything. Put in oven at 350 degrees for 20 minutes. While that is cooking do up your noodles. I don't recommend spaghetti, but more like rigatoni or the elbow macaroni. Don't be afraid to experiment with garlic powder, oregano, or even add Italian seasoning to the sauce. Just so long as your taste buds are smiling.What are some good recipes for chicken breasts?
CHICKEN BASIL


Serves 4


4 skinless chicken breasts (of approx. equal size)


4 slices white bread


3 rashers middle bacon


Fresh basil





Pre-heat oven to 180掳c


Cut crusts off bread and blend in a blender to make breadcrumbs. (It is not advised to used packaged breadcrumbs for this recipe as they are too dry) Place in a bowl


Chop the bacon really fine and add to the breadcrumbs. Finely chop the basil and also add to the breadcrumbs. Combine well.





Place chicken breasts in a slightly greased oven dish and top with the mixture.


Place in the oven with a bowl of water underneath the tray of chicken. This will help keep the chicken moist and succulent. (make sure the bowl is ovenproof)


Bake for about 20-30 minutes depending on the size of the chicken breasts.


Serve with Potato Bake (see recipe below), steamed snow peas, broccoli and honey sesame carrots.


Steam the snow peas for about 2 minutes and the broccoli for 3 at the most. This will ensure that they stay green and crunchy., retaining their nutrients.


I would recommend a nice crisp Sauvignon Blanc with this dish.


POTATO BAKE


5 large potatoes peeled and thinly sliced


1 large onion peeled and thinly sliced into rings


Salt and pepper


Cream


Butter


Sharp cheddar cheese, grated or shredded (depending on what you call it!!!)





Lightly grease the bottom of a medium oven dish. Place a layer of potato in the bottom of the dish. Then sprinkle some of the onion rings over the top of the first layer of potato. Season with a little salt and pepper. Repeat these layers until all the ingredients have been used finishing with a layer of potato, making sure no onion is visible.





Randomly dollop bits of butter over the surface and drizzle with a little cream. Sprinkle the cheese over the entire surface and bake in a moderately hot oven for approximately 45 minutes or until potatoes are soft when tested with a knife.


HONEY SESAME CARROTS


Baby or Dutch carrots peeled and cut julienne style (matchsticks in laymen鈥檚!!)


Honey


Sesame seeds





Steam carrots for about 2 minutes then toss in a warm pan with a little olive oil. Add the honey and allow this to melt and heat through. Sprinkle over the sesame seeds and serve immediately.


CREAMY TOMATO POLLO FUNGHI


Serves 4 - 6


500 gm fresh fettuccine cooked according to packet directions (if you don鈥檛 have fettuccine try angel hair or penne)


1 tblsp olive oil


3 skinless chicken breasts diced


1 medium Spanish onion finely diced


2 cloves crushed garlic


3 tsp mixed herbs


6 rashers middle bacon


2 cups button mushrooms sliced


2 tins crushed Roma tomatoes


200-300 ml cream (depending on how saucy you want it)


Salt and pepper to taste


Shredded fresh Parmesan cheese





Heat oil in a large pan and add garlic, herbs and onion and cook on medium-high heat until onion has sweated and garlic and herbs are fragrant. Add chicken and lightly brown.





Add the bacon and mushrooms and cook well. Add tomatoes and heat through. Reduce heat and add cream, heat through at a simmer for about 7-8 minutes until the cream has thickened. Make sure you taste all the time. Add salt and pepper to taste





Serve over the drained pasta and sprinkle with fresh shaved parmesan cheese. Fresh crusty bread would be a lovely addition to this meal also.





I would suggest a Semillon or a moselle with this dish. If you want a nice dry white would also be good.


CREAMY CHICKEN CARBONARA


Serves 4 - 6


500 gm fresh fettuccine cooked according to packet directions (if you don鈥檛 have fettuccine try angel hair)


1 tblsp olive oil


3 skinless chicken breasts diced


1 medium Spanish onion finely diced


2 cloves crushed garlic


3 tsp mixed herbs


6 rashers middle bacon


2 cups button mushrooms sliced


300 ml cream


陆 cup white wine (try to use one that you will be serving with the meal)


A little chicken stock powder


Salt and pepper to taste.





Heat oil in a large pan and add garlic, herbs and onion, then add the chicken and cook on medium-high heat until onion has sweated cook until chicken has lightly browned.





Add the bacon and mushrooms and cook well. Reduce heat and add cream, heat through at a simmer. When cream is heated, add the wine and the stock powder. Make sure you don鈥檛 use too much stock powder or it will be too salty. Make sure you taste all the time. Simmer for about 7-8 minutes until all the alcohol has burned off and the cream has thickened.





Serve over the drained pasta and sprinkle with fresh shaved parmesan cheese. Fresh crusty bread would be a lovely addition to this meal also.





Hope you like these ones, they are some of my family's favourites.


Have a great day/night and enjoy!!!

I'll give you some very simple recipes. Get a couple of boneless, skinless chicken breasts. Cut them into small cubes. Season or marinade them according to your taste, with the herbs and spices that you like. Then put them on a skewer and bbq them over charcoal (no flames) like shish kebap.


Another one is:


Again cube the chicken breasts. Add a little olive oil in a wok. Stir fry the chicken pieces, add some mushrooms, chopped/diced green peppers, onions. Season to taste. Additionally you can add a few drops of soja sauce just before they are done.


Serve with any potato dish or rice pilaf.


Quick and delicious.
Mozzeralla Stuffed Chicken Breasts





6 Chicken Breasts (Boneless and skinless)


Salt and Pepper


1/2 C. Butter (Melted)


1/4 lb. Mozzarella Cheese (sliced)


1/2 c. Flour


2 Eggs (Beaten)


1 C. Italian Bread Crumbs


1 tsp. Marjoram


1/2 tsp. Ground Thyme


1/2 C. White Wine





Pound chicken to flatten; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Brush butter on top of each piece (reserve remainder). Cover each piece of chicken with cheese slice and then roll up with cheese inside. You can tuck in ends or use toothpick to secure but, I just hold them together and dredge them in flour, then dip in eggs and roll in bread crumbs. Arrange rolls in baking dish. Baste with mixture of reserved butter, marjoram and thyme. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes; then add wine and continue to bake for another 20 minutes or until tender (baste frequently in pan juices). (This recipe never fails to get rave reviews! I am asked constantly for this recipe and it freezes well (just cook the first 20 minutes; freeze and then add wine and continue to cook until hot.)
Cut in small cubes. Marinade in yogurt for 20-30min, with the herbs and spices that you like(oregano,black pepper,dry mint). Then put them on a skewer and BBQ them over charcoal for only a few minutes.


Serve with fresh salad.
