Chicken Breasts With Tomato Basil Cream Recipes

Steps:

• In 10-inch skillet melt butter until sizzling; stir in garlic, salt and pepper. Add chicken breasts. Cook over medium-high heat, turning once, until golden brown (8 to 12 minutes).
• Add tomatoes, 1/4 cup basil and whipping cream. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until sauce is heated through (4 to 5 minutes).
• Serve with pasta and garnish with basil leaves, if desired.
• Makes 4 servings.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 500 degrees F.
• Cut fingerling potatoes into halves or quarters, depending on thickness of fingerlings -- thin, small fingerlings may also be left whole, larger potatoes should be quartered to speed cooking process. If you are using small red potatoes, halve or quarter them in the same way.
• Cover a large cookie sheet with foil. Place potatoes on cookie sheet. Combine with peppers and onions, garlic and crushed red pepper flakes. Coat the potatoes, peppers and onions with extra-virgin olive oil just enough to coat vegetables in a thin layer, 2 to 3 tablespoons. Season liberally with salt and pepper. Place potatoes in the oven and roast 20 to 22 minutes, until potatoes are just tender and peppers and onions are crisp at edges. Toss mixture with tongs, turning the potatoes after 15 minutes. When the potatoes are cooked, transfer them to a serving dish and peel the foil off the cookie sheet and discard for super-quick clean up!
• While potatoes cook, prepare chicken. Roll out a 2-foot piece of waxed paper or foil near the stove top. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium high heat -- your pan must be very hot when the chicken is added. Pile the shredded cheese on the work surface created with the waxed paper or foil. Season your chicken breasts with black pepper but no salt; the cheese will add enough salt to the taste of the dish. Press the breasts firmly into the cheese. Coat both sides of breasts with as much cheese as possible. Add 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil to the skillet, 1 turn of the pan. Set breasts into the skillet and cook 7 minutes on each side, until cheese forms an even, golden casing around the tender chicken breasts.
• While chicken cooks, combine chopped tomatoes with basil in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper, to your taste.
• Drain off any excess oil from chicken as you remove it from the skillet. Top chicken with big spoonfuls of raw sauce and serve with potatoes, peppers and onions.

Steps:

• Rinse and thoroughly dry chicken breasts. Pound them to a more even consistency, if needed.
• Mix flour, corn meal, chili powder, coriander, and lemon pepper.
• Heat 1 T of olive oil in a pan at medium-high heat.
• Dip each chicken breast in egg and then thoroughly dredge in flour mixture (I like to sprinkle some additional chili powder on each chicken breast before it goes in the pan).
• Fry the chicken breasts on the first side for about 7 or 8 minutes, or whenever they are about half-cooked.
• Turn chicken breasts.
• After a minute or two, add the remaining olive oil and the garlic to the pan. Put the tomato chunks in the pan, keeping them separate from the chicken but allowing them to benefit from the drippings in the pan. Sprinkle basil over tomatoes. Do not stir.
• Cook until chicken is cooked through (another 5 - 7 minutes).
• Serve with corn bread, roasted red potatoes, or a side salad. I wouldn't serve this with rice as it might absorb the tomato/ chicken juices.

Steps:

• Place chicken breasts on a cutting board. With a sharp knife, slice chicken breasts horizontally, without slicing them completely in half. Open the chicken breasts like a book. Place chicken and marinade into a large resealable plastic bag. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 500 degrees F (260 degrees C).
• Place opened chicken breasts on a broiler pan. Place 4 basil leaves on the bottom half of each chicken breast. Top each with 2 or 3 tomato slices and 1 slice of cheese, and fold over top half of chicken (if necessary, fasten with toothpicks). Wrap 3 slices bacon around each chicken breast.
• Cook in preheated oven for 15 minutes. Turn chicken, and cook 15 minutes more. Remove from oven, and sprinkle chicken with Parmesan. Return to oven, and cook until cheese is melted, about 2 to 3 minutes.

Steps:

• Wipe the chicken pieces dry with paper towels, sprinkle with salt and pepper and brown the pieces a few at a time in the safflower oil in a large skillet. Set the pieces aside and pour off the fat from the skillet.
• Heat the olive oil in the skillet and gently soften the onion with the garlic and carrots over medium heat. Stir in the tomato paste, tomatoes, vinegar, wine and thyme leaves. Add the chicken pieces, cover and simmer over medium heat for 30 to 40 minutes, or until they are cooked. Stir occasionally, turning the pieces over in the sauce.
• Remove the chicken to a serving dish and keep it warm in a low oven. Bring the sauce to a boil, and cook for about 10 minutes to reduce by about one-third. Stir in the creme fraiche and bring to a boil. Cook for five minutes. Correct seasoning and pour the sauce over the chicken pieces. Sprinkle with basil and serve at once.
