Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F.
• Pour a bit of oil in a small baking dish.
• Lay out the two flattened chicken breasts.

• Sprinkle with salt, pepper and paprika.
• Bake uncovered for about 20-25 minutes.
• Serve with a vegetable and a green salad on the side.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• To prepare the chicken, place each chicken breast half between 2 sheets of heavy-duty plastic wrap; pound to 1/4-inch thickness using a meat mallet or rolling pin.
• Discard plastic wrap.
• Top each chicken breast half with 1 slice prosciutto, 1 slice cheese, and 1/4 cup arugula, leaving a 1/4-inch border around edges.
• Fold in half, pinching edges together to seal; sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• (The chicken can be prepared up to a day ahead and refrigerated at this point.) Dredge chicken in flour, shaking off excess.
• Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
• Add chicken; cook 5 minutes on each side.
• Place chicken in a shallow baking pan; bake at 350 degrees for 5 minutes or until done.
• Keep warm.
• To prepare sauce, add shallots to skillet; saute 4 minutes over medium-high heat or until browned.
• Add tomato paste; cook 1 minute, stirring constantly.
• Stir in wine; bring to a boil over high heat.
• Cook until reduced to 1 cup (about 6 minutes).

• Whisk together the barbecue sauce, soy sauce, red wine, maple syrup, chili powder, dry mustard powder, garlic powder, onion powder, and cumin in a bowl until thoroughly combined.
• Place the chicken breasts into a 9x13-inch baking dish, and pour the sauce over the chicken. Turn the chicken pieces over in the sauce to coat both sides.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the chicken is no longer pink and the juices run clear, about 40 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of a breast should read 160 degrees F (70 degrees C). Remove the chicken from the baking dish, and keep warm.
• Pour the remaining sauce into a saucepan, place over medium heat, and bring to a boil. Whisk the cornstarch and water together in a small bowl until smooth. Whisk the cornstarch mixture into the sauce; reduce heat to a simmer, and allow the sauce to thicken, whisking constantly.

• Roast in the preheated oven, basting after 30 minutes, until chicken is no longer pink, about 1 hour. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone, should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Let rest before carving, about 15 minutes.

Steps:

• Cook fettuccine according to package directions for al dente; drain, reserving 1/2 cup pasta water. Transfer to a serving platter; keep warm., In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium heat. Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper. Add to skillet; cook and stir until no longer pink, 4-6 minutes. Remove chicken. Add remaining oil to skillet; stir in next 5 ingredients and saute 4-6 minutes. Return chicken to skillet., Stir in wine and mustard. Bring to a boil; cook until liquid is reduced slightly, 2-4 minutes. Pour chicken mixture over fettuccine; add cheese and tarragon. Toss to combine, adding enough reserved pasta water to moisten pasta. Top with toasted walnuts.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Cut a pocket into the side of each piece of chicken, going to within 1/2 inch of each edge. Season chicken pieces with salt and pepper; set aside.
• Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion, bell pepper and chicken livers; cook and stir until onion is tender, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and sage; cook and stir until fragrant, about 1 minute more. Pour in the chicken broth and season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, then remove from the heat. Gently stir in the cornbread crumbs and set aside until cool enough to handle.
• Spoon some of the stuffing into the pocket of each piece of chicken. Arrange them in a 9x13 inch baking dish. Spoon any leftover stuffing into the pan to surround the chicken. Stir together the condensed chicken soup and water; pour over the top off the chicken. Cover with a lid or aluminum foil.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes. Remove the aluminum foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the center of the stuffed breasts has reached 160 degrees F (70 degrees C) and the chicken has browned on top.

Steps:

• Put the mushrooms, sundried tomatoes, chili pepper, lime juice and 1 cup of the spinach in a food processor. Process until is it almost a paste.
• Rinse and pat dry chicken breasts. Cut a pocket in each. Put one quarter of the paste in each breast. Hold closed with toothpicks, broken in half. If you are not cooking them immediately, place the stuffed chicken breasts in a container and store in the refrigerator.
• Place flour on a plate. Before flouring each chicken breast sprinkle a 1/4 of the chili powder and 1/4 of the lemon pepper on the top of the flour. Gently coat each side of the chicken breasts with the flour and spices.
• Heat 2 T of the olive oil in a large frying pan and cook chicken breasts at medium heat on the first side for about 8 minutes. Remove toothpicks before turning.
• Just before turning chicken, place 1 T each of olive oil, orange juice and lime juice in a pan. Add spinach and cook until spinach is wilted, stirring occasionally.
• Also just before turning chicken, place the water and 2 t of olive oil in a small pot. Bring to a boil, add couscous and cover. Remove from heat and let sit for 5 minutes.
• Cook chicken on the second side for 8 to 10 minutes.
• All three parts should be finished at about the same time. Place 1/4 of the spinach, 1/4 of the couscous, and 1 chicken breast on each plate and serve.
