Parmesan And Basil Chicken Salad Recipes

Steps:

• Heat grill to medium heat.
• Mix Italian seasoning with 2 Tbsp. dressing until blended. Brush onto chicken; let stand 10 min.
• Grill chicken 8 min.; turn. Top evenly with 1/2 cup mozzarella. Grill additional 5 to 8 min. or until chicken is done (165ºF). Cool, then refrigerate until ready to use as directed.
• Meanwhile, mix pasta sauce and remaining dressing until blended. Toss pasta with tomatoes, 1/4 cup Parmesan and remaining mozzarella in large bowl. Add pasta sauce mixture; mix lightly. Refrigerate 1 hour.
• Cut chicken into 1-inch pieces; place over salad along with the crushed croutons, basil and remaining Parmesan.

Steps:

• In a large heavy pot, bring the water to a boil. Peel, trim, and quarter the onion. Peel, trim, and smash the garlic.
• Add the onion, garlic, bay leaves, parsley, and salt to the boiling water and boil for about 10 minutes.
• Carefully slide the chicken breasts into the pot and return the water to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and poach the chicken for about 15 minutes. Turn off the heat, remove the cover, and let the chicken cool in the liquid.
• When cool enough to handle, remove the chicken from the broth, skin and bone it, and shred into bite-sized pieces. Put in a large bowl. (Be sure to strain and reserve the broth for making soups or sauces.)
• Make the dressing: Peel, trim, and chop the garlic as fine as possible. Rinse the basil leaves, pat them dry, and chop very fine.
• In a bowl, combine the garlic and basil with the remaining dressing ingredients. If you would like a smoother sauce, blend all the ingredients in a blender or food processor until saucelike.
• Spoon the dressing over the chicken, toss well to combine, and transfer to a serving platter. Serve within 1 hour of finishing.

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sprinkle the cutlets on both sides with the salt and pepper flakes. Place the cutlets in the skillet and cook, undisturbed, until golden brown on the first side, 3 minutes. Flip, and cook for an additional minute. Add the marinara sauce and turn the cutlets to coat in the sauce. Top with the mozzarella, reduce the heat to medium, and cover the pan. Cook for an additional 5 minutes to melt the cheese.
• Meanwhile, combine the arugula, basil, Parmesan, sun-dried tomatoes, olive oil, vinegar and salt in a large bowl. Toss well to coat.
• To serve: Place one piece of chicken on a plate and top with a spoonful of sauce. Add a bit of the salad right on top of the chicken, and serve.

Steps:

• Process mayonnaise, basil, Parmesan, lemon juice, and garlic in food processor until smooth and pale green, about 10 seconds.
• Combine chicken, celery, apples, and mayonnaise mixture in large bowl.
• Gently toss arugula into chicken salad and season with salt and pepper to taste; serve.

Steps:

• Place the chicken between two sheets of wax paper and pound with a flat mallet until the meat is about 1/2-inch thick.
• Prepare 3 bowls- one to hold the flour, one to hold the beaten eggs, and one to hold the Parmesan cheese. Combine the four dried herbs with the grated cheese.
• Coat each chicken filet with flour, then egg, then the Parmesan-herb mixture.
• Spray a skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium-high heat. Saute the chicken until cooked through, about 5 minutes per side.
• While the chicken is cooking, put the mixed greens in four salad bowls. Top with fresh basil & tomatoes.
• Whisk together the lemon juice, olive, & salt-pepper to create a dressing. Pour over salads, and toss a bit if desired. Once the chicken filets are done, serve them over the salad.

Steps:

• If not using prepackaged chicken, preheat oven to 375°F.
• Season chicken with salt and pepper and place in baking dish.
• Roast about 35 minutes, or until juices run clear.
• Cool.
• Cut chicken into bite size pieces (about 1 inches by 1/2 in.) and place in medium bowl.
• In a food processor, puree mayo, basil, garlic, and pine nuts.
• Add to chicken and toss with cheese.
