Chicken Salsa Verde Bake Recipes

Steps:

• For the chicken: Preheat a cast-iron grill pan over medium-high heat. Drizzle the chicken with 2 tablespoons of the canola oil. Season with 2 teaspoons of the salt and 1 teaspoon of the pepper; drizzle with the remaining 4 teaspoons canola oil.
• Place the chicken seasoned-side down on the grill. Season the side facing upwards with the remaining 2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon pepper. Cook the chicken until golden-brown and the exterior has formed a crust, turning midway through to form the cross-hatch pattern, 3 to 4 minutes. (Note: the chicken is not being flipped, the same side is still on the grill.) Flip the chicken and repeat until the other side is golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. The center of the chicken should be firm to the touch when poked and the meat thermometer should read 165 degrees F.
• For the salsa verde: Combine the garlic and the anchovies on the cutting board. Put the parsley, chives and tarragon on the cutting board and coarsely chop to combine with the garlic mixture. Put the salsa mixture in a medium bowl and add the lemon zest. Add the red pepper and salt. Mix the herb mixture together while drizzling in the olive oil until thoroughly combined. Put the salsa in a serving bowl and set aside until the chicken is ready.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
• Spray a 12-inch nonstick skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until browned, 5 to 7 minutes on each side. Add cannellini beans, salsa verde, diced tomatoes with chile peppers, taco seasoning, cumin, and garlic powder; stir to combine. Spread in the prepared baking dish and cover with foil.
• Bake in the preheated oven until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the casserole reads at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C), 25 to 30 minutes.
• Remove from the oven and sprinkle Mexican cheese blend over top. Recover with foil and let rest until cheese melts, about 5 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat broiler. Mix seasonings; sprinkle over chicken. Place chicken on a broiler pan. Broil 4 in. from heat 6-8 minutes on each side or until a thermometer reads 170°., Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix sour cream, salsa and 1 tablespoon cilantro. Cut lime in half. Squeeze juice from one lime half into sour cream mixture; stir to combine. Cut remaining lime half into four wedges. Serve chicken with sauce and lime wedges. Sprinkle with remaining cilantro.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400°F.
• Place chicken in 8-inch square baking dish sprayed with cooking spray; top with 1/3 cup TACO BELL® Verde Salsa.
• Bake 15 min. or until chicken is done (165°F). Top with TACO BELL® Shredded Salsa Verde Cheese; bake 5 min. or until cheese is melted. Meanwhile, combine rice with 1 Tbsp. cilantro and remaining salsa.
• Top chicken with remaining cilantro. Serve with rice mixture and lime wedges.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine the chicken, sour cream and 3/4 cup salsa. Spread 1/4 cup salsa on the bottom of a greased 8-in. square baking dish., Layer with half of the tortillas and chicken mixture; sprinkle with half the tomatoes, minced cilantro and half of the cheese. Repeat layers with remaining tortillas, chicken mixture, tomatoes and cheese., Bake, uncovered, at 400° until bubbly, 20-25 minutes. Serve with remaining salsa and, if desired, optional toppings.

Steps:

• A day before cooking, rinse the chicken inside and out under cold water and pat dry. Salt liberally, cover and refrigerate.
• Remove the chicken from the refrigerator 1 hour before cooking. Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
• Lift the skin off each chicken breast and wedge 3 lemon slices and 1 bay leaf between the skin of each breast. Put the garlic, onion, thyme and remaining lemon slices in the cavity of the chicken. Rub the entire chicken liberally with olive oil. Put the chicken in an ovenproof saute pan or roasting pan breast-side up, slide it into the oven and roast until the thigh reaches 160 degrees F. or until the cavity juices run clear, about 1 hour. Remove from the oven and let rest for 10-20 minutes.
• When ready to serve, in a medium bowl, dress the arugula with the red wine vinegar and 1 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil. Cut the chicken into 8 pieces, drizzle with the Salsa Verde and serve with the arugula salad.
• Salsa Verde: Combine the extra-virgin olive oil, parsley, capers, mint, red pepper flakes, anchovies, garlic, lemon zest and juice, jalapeno and shallots in a bowl and stir to combine. Add salt and pepper to taste. Allow the flavors to meld for at least 15 minutes before serving. If planning to serve after more than 1 hour, add the lemon juice at the last minute to keep the color vibrant.
