Roast Chicken Breasts With Chickpeas Tomatoes Blue Cheese Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450°. Mix first 5 ingredients in medium bowl. Pour 1 teaspoon spiced oil mixture into small bowl; whisk in yogurt and set aside for sauce. Place chicken on large rimmed baking sheet. Rub 2 tablespoons spiced oil mixture over chicken. Add beans, tomatoes, and 1/2 cup cilantro to remaining spiced oil mixture; toss to coat. Pour bean mixture around chicken. Sprinkle everything generously with salt and pepper.
• Roast until chicken is cooked through, about 20 minutes. Sprinkle with 1/2 cup cilantro. Transfer chicken to plates. Spoon bean mixture over. Serve with yogurt sauce.
• *Sometimes labeled Pimentón Dulce or Pimentón de La Vera Dulce; available at some supermarkets, at specialty foods stores, and from tienda.com.

Steps:

• Toss the chicken breasts with the salt, pepper and 1 tablespoon olive oil in a small bowl. Set aside.
• Heat a medium Dutch oven over medium heat. Add 2 tablespoons olive oil to the pan and heat an additional 30 seconds. Add the onion, garlic and fennel to the hot pan. Season with salt and stir with a wooden spoon to combine. Cook, stirring often, until the vegetables are beginning to soften and are fragrant, about 3 minutes. Add the oregano and garlic powder to the vegetables and stir to combine. Continue to cook until the vegetables are translucent and beginning to brown slightly, another 3 to 4 minutes. Add the tomatoes to the pan along with the vinegar. Bring the mixture to a simmer. Reduce the heat to maintain a gentle simmer. Using the back of a wooden spoon, crush the tomatoes into medium-sized pieces. Simmer for 10 minutes while you start the chicken.
• Meanwhile, heat a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add the remaining tablespoon olive oil and heat an additional 30 seconds. Add the chicken to the hot skillet and cook, undisturbed, until deep golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip the chicken and cook until the chicken is evenly browned on both sides, an additional 3 to 4 minutes. Carefully ladle the tomato mixture over and around the chicken, then reduce the heat to maintain a gentle simmer and continue to cook for an additional 5 minutes. Stir in the chickpeas and butter and cook to heat through, 2 more minutes. Did you taste it? Season with additional salt, garlic powder or garlic salt if needed. Stir in the basil and serve topped with Parmesan, if desired.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450°F
• Mix the first five ingredients in a medium bowl. Pour 1 teaspoon of the spiced oil mixture into a small bowl, whisk in the yogurt and set this aside for the table sauce.
• Place the chicken on a rimmed sheet or baking dish large enough to accommodate all the pieces without overlap. Rub 2 tablespoons of the spiced oil mixture over the chicken.
• Add the chickpeas, cherry tomatoes, and 1/2 cup of the cilantro to the remaining spiced oil mixture and toss to coat. Pour the mixture around the chicken pieces. Season everything with salt and pepper.
• Roast until the chicken is cooked through, about 20-30 minutes. If you are using skin-on cuts, you can place the dish under the broiler for a minute or two (no more!) for a final browning. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup cilantro.
• When plating up, dress each chicken piece with a generous spoonful of the chickpea and tomatoes. Serve with the yogurt sauce. This dish goes well with rice or a loaf of good crusty bread.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• Sprinkle chicken pieces with generous grinding of black pepper.
• Heat oil in skillet and add chicken pieces. Cook about 2 minutes on one side until lightly browned. Turn and cook about 3 minutes.
• Transfer chicken pieces in 1 layer to baking dish.
• Add garlic to skillet and cook briefly. Add sweet pepper slices, tomatoes, oregano and pepper flakes. Let simmer about 5 minutes.
• Pour sauce over the chicken and sprinkle with cheese. Bake 10 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450°.
• Mix the olive oil, garlic, paprika, cumin, red pepper flakes, salt and pepper in a bowl.
• Place chicken on large rimmed baking sheet. Cover with oil mixture and toss to combine well. Add chickpeas and tomatoes and stir until everything is well-coated with the spiced oil.
• Roast for 15 minutes. Remove from oven, then top with the blue cheese and arugula. Cook in the oven for a further 5 minutes, or until the arugula has wilted and the chicken is cooked through.

Steps:

• Sprinkle the breast halves on both sides with salt and pepper.
• Heat 2 tablespoons of the butter in a heavy skillet large enough to hold the chicken pieces in one layer. Add the chicken and cook until lightly browned on one side and partly cooked. Turn and continue cooking about 5 minutes or until cooked through. Remove the pieces and keep warm.
• Meanwhile, heat the remaining tablespoon of butter in a saucepan and add the flour, stirring rapidly with a wire whisk. Add the broth and milk, stirring rapidly with the whisk. Add the cream and cook, stirring often, about 5 minutes. Add the cheese and stir until melted.
• Add the ham slices to the skillet in which the chicken pieces cooked, and cook briefly on both sides just to heat through. Transfer the slices to a heated serving dish, and cover each slice with a piece of chicken breast.
• Add the onion to the skillet, and cook, stirring, until wilted. Add the wine, and stir to dissolve the brown particles that cling to the bottom and sides of the skillet. Stir in the cheese sauce.
• Place a sieve over a small saucepan, and strain the sauce, stirring and pushing down with a plastic spatula to press through as much of it as possible. There should be about 11/3 cups of sauce.
• Pour the sauce over the chicken pieces and serve hot.
