Bonnies Chicken Portifino Recipes

Steps:

• 1. Cook's Tip: This meal comes together very fast, so make sure you have everything ready for your meal before you begin making the chicken. If you don't want to use wine, try some chicken broth instead. This chicken is delicious with Noodles Romanoff.
• 2. Rinse the chicken tenders and pat dry on paper towels.
• 3. Slice the lemons into thin slices.
• 4. Heat a large nonstick skillet medium heat. Fry the chicken tenders until a nice golden brown.
• 5. Add the lemon juice, wine, sprinkle with salt and add lemon slices to the top of the chicken. Bring the chicken to a boil, reduce the heat to low, place a lid on skillet, and cook for 15 minutes.
• 6. Remove the chicken from the pan and put it on a platter and keep it warm.
• 7. Bring the sauce and lemon slices to a boil, turn heat to low and let it reduce about 1/2. It will thicken.
• 8. Drizzle the sauce over the warm chicken tenders and sprinkle with the green onions.
• 9. Here is how it looks!

Steps:

• 1. Cook's note. Do the prep work first, and the dish will come together effortlessly. Assemble all ingredients before beginning. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. I cook my chicken tenders while my chips and cheeses are heating in the oven. With a little practice, they both get done at the same time.
• 2. PREPARE CHICKEN TENDERS Remove any skin or fat from the tenders and blot dry with paper towels and set aside.
• 3. PREPARE TOPPINGS Chop your tomatoes, green onions, olives and avocado. You will need sour cream and jalapeno rings or anything else you can't live without on a nacho. :)
• 4. You will also need a jar of Tostitos salsa con queso, a salsa flavored cheese sauce/dip, and a can of Fritos bean dip. (The bean dip works better in this recipe than the traditional refried beans) Grate your Tillamook sharp cheddar cheese.
• 5. PREPARE THE CHIPS, BEANS AND CHEESES You will need a medium size bag of Santitas white corn chips. You can use yellow, if you prefer, or mix white and yellow corn chips together. You will also need a 9 X 13 baking dish to build your Nachos.
• 6. Place 3/4 of the bag of Santitas chips in the baking dish. Spoon dollops of Fritos bean dip over the first layer of chips, using all of the can of bean dip on this bottom layer.
• 7. Spoon 1 cup of the salsa con queso and 1 cup of the Tillamook sharp grated cheese evenly over the chips. (This is to our preference, you can reduce the amount of cheese if you prefer. Avoid adding more because you don't want it to be soggy). Place the baking dish in the oven at 350 degrees for 10 minutes until salsa con queso and chips are hot.
• 8. Remove baking dish from oven and add the remaining layer of chips and spoon on the salsa con queso and bake another 10 minutes. Turn off the oven, and sprinkle the remaining cup of Tillamook cheese on top. Leave dish in the oven to keep warm and melt the cheese.
• 9. SEASONINGS FOR THE CHICKEN Sprinkle chicken tenders on both sides with salt and pepper, to your taste.
• 10. Sprinkle with the remaining seasonings: garlic powder, and a pinch of chipotle pepper. If you like it spicy hot, season both sides with chipotle. (Don't forget there are jalapenos as a garnish for the top of the dish!:)
• 11. HOW TO COOK THE CHICKEN Heat a couple of tablespoons olive oil in a nonstick skillet and a pat of butter until hot, but not smoking.
• 12. Heat the oil in the skillet. Add the chicken tenders. When the chicken is nicely brown, turn it over. Adjust heat to medium. Fry the other side. Don't overcook the chicken, but do get a good sear on it.
• 13. Remove chicken to a cutting board and cut into large chunks, set aside and tent the chicken to keep it warm.
• 14. Remove the baking dish from the oven and add the toppings in the following order: tomatoes, olives, jalapeno, avocado and cooked chipotle chicken. Add sour cream and sprinkle with chopped green onions last.
• 15. Serve immediately. Enjoy!
• 16. Here is a closeup!

Steps:

• 1. Pre-heat the oven to 425 degrees. I use a large stainless steel pan with a shallow rim, big enough to hold all the ingredients in a single layer. Grease the pan with kitchen spray.
• 2. Zest the lemon and squeeze the juice. Place the lemon juice in a large bowl. Add the zest, garlic, Dijon mustard, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Whisk until well combined. Pat thighs dry and add to the mixture in the bowl. Coat the chicken thighs with the mixture and place them skin UP in the center of the baking pan.
• 3. Add the vegetables to the bowl with your hands and toss the vegetables until they are coated. Place the vegetables around the chicken in the pan in a single layer.
• 4. Roast in the oven at 425 degrees for about 45 minutes. Stir the vegetables halfway through the cooking process. Test the vegetables to see if they are done, if not, continue cooking. At this time, using tongs, flip the chicken thighs over to "baste" the top of the meat in the juices, and then flip it back over. (Sneaky way to baste.)
• 5. The meat and vegetables will be golden brown. It may take a few minutes less or a few minutes more, depending on how big the pieces of meat are, and how big you slice the vegetables. If you like them more brown, turn on the broiler for a few minutes, but watch them carefully.
• 6. Next time, after you have tried this dish, feel free to add anything else to it that you can't live without. Enjoy!

Steps:

• PORTOFINO SAUCE:.
• Start by getting your ingredients ready. Dice the onion.
• *Make the roux (heat vegetable oil on medium/high, add flour, stir continuously until oil flour mixture browns). The amount of oil is about equal to the amount of roux required by the recipe. For instance, the original recipe calls for 2 oz of roux. So 4 tbsp oil and 4 tbsp white flour. Set aside.
• Melt Butter on medium heat. Add diced onion and garlic, stirring frequently, about 5 minutes.
• Add white wine. Turn up heat to high until boiling then back down to medium. Cook 5 minutes on medium.
