Bluechickenbreasts Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F.
• Place a chicken breast between two pieces of plastic wrap and pound flat and thin without breaking through the meat (Ideally this would make a 1/8 inch thick rectangle).
• Remove plastic wrap, season with salt and pepper, repeat with remaining breasts.
• Mix diced ham and shredded cheese together in a bowl, spoon 2-3 tbsp of mixture onto each flattened breast.
• Fold in the bottom and sides and roll up (this is often difficult to do depending on how the breast flattens out, so I just fold them over and stick lots of tooth picks in them to keep them closed).
• Combine bread crumbs and parmesan cheese, brush each roll with olive oil and roll in crumb mixture to coat.
• Place rolls, seam side down, in a shallow baking dish and bake uncovered for 25 minutes (or until chicken is thoroughly cooked).
• Remove toothpicks before serving!

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
• Add the mayonnaise, Dijon, parsley and garlic to a small bowl and stir to combine. Add the breadcrumbs, olive oil and 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper to another bowl and stir until combined.
• Place the chicken on the prepared baking sheet. Dividing evenly, brush the mayonnaise mixture all over the top and sides of each piece. Top the mayo-covered areas with the panko mixture and press to adhere.
• Bake until the coating is golden brown and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of each breast registers 165 degrees F, 30 to 35 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• At a slight angle, cut 6 slits into each of the chicken breasts, making sure not to cut all the way through. You should leave roughly 1/4 inch unsliced. Brush the top of each chicken breast with 1 tablespoon of the mustard.
• Mix together the breadcrumbs, butter, salt and pepper in a bowl. Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the chicken, using your hands to press the mixture into the mustard. Place a quarter piece of cheese and a half-moon piece of Canadian bacon into each of the slits in each chicken breast. Transfer the stuffed chicken breasts to a baking sheet.
• Bake until the chicken is cooked through and the breadcrumbs are golden, 20 to 22 minutes. Serve warm with your favorite sides.
• Freezing instructions: Once the uncooked chicken breasts are assembled, place 4 onto a wax paper-lined baking sheet; repeat with the remaining chicken breasts on a separate lined baking sheet. Transfer the baking sheets to the freezer until the chicken breasts are frozen through, at least 3 hours. Transfer the chicken breasts to 2 wax paper-lined foil pans. Label, date and freeze until ready to eat.
• When ready to eat, preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Bake the chicken breasts from frozen until the chicken is cooked through and the breadcrumbs are golden, about 40 minutes. Serve as directed above.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
• Warm garlic and olive oil to blend the flavors.
• In a separate dish, combine the bread crumbs and cheese.
• Sprinkle salt and pepper lightly onto chicken breasts.
• Dip chicken in olive oil/garlic mixture, then into bread crumb mix.
• Place chicken in a greased baking dish.
• Bake for 30 minutes or until done.

Steps:

• Mix the seven spices (will fill a 3-inch salt shaker). Save for future use.
• Sprinkle over chicken to cover both sides.
• Heat oil in cast iron skillet for 15 minutes. I do this on low heat and turn up last few minutes.
• Place chicken in hot pan and cook till dark in color, about 4 minutes per side, till juices are clear.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425.
• Combine 1 tablespoons butter, thyme, and blue cheese in small bowl until blended. Season with salt & pepper and set aside.
• Cut a horizontal line in the thickest side of each chicken breast to form a pocket, but not cutting all the way through.
• Stuff blue cheese mixture into pocket with small spoon.
• Place chicken in a baking dish. Season with salt & pepper. Bake 15 minutes, uncovered.
• Meanwhile melt remaining 1 tablespoons butter; stir in lemon juice and paprika. Turn chicken, brush with lemon mixture and bake additional 10 to 15 minutes or until chicken is cooked through (use thermometer in unstuffed area).

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350F.
• Wash chicken well and dry.
• Combine herbs, salt and lots of freshly-crushed black pepper.
• Sprinkle chicken pieces with seasonings.
• In non-stick skillet, melt butter and brown chicken on both sides.
• Place the browned chicken in a baking dish just large enough to hold it in one layer.
• In same skillet, sauté the garlic.
• Reduce heat to lowest setting, add the blue cheese and the yoghurt (or sour cream), and stir until well blended.
• Spoon sauce over chicken; cover and bake for 50 minutes.
• Remove cover; add chives (or green onions) and cook 5 additional minutes.
• Serve over rice with sauce from casserole.

Steps:

• Make Sauce: In a small saucepan combine ketchup, cider vinegar, horseradish, brown sugar, minced garlic, thyme and black pepper; whisk together to mix ingredients. Bring to a boil over medium/low heat. Cook about five minutes until thickened. Remove from heat.
• Brush chicken breasts with sauce (both sides) and place in foil lined pan.
• Broil or grill basting with remaining sauce until no longer pink in centre. Allow to stand five minutes before serving.
