Spicy Gingersnap Encrusted Chicken Breast Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Spray a baking dish with cooking spray.
• Mix cheese-flavored crackers, French-fried onions, Italian bread crumbs, sesame seeds, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Set aside.
• Wash and pat chicken breasts dry. Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise on one side of each piece and place mayonnaise-side down in the cracker mixture. Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise on the other side of the chicken and cover with the cracker mixture, patting firmly into the chicken. Place chicken breasts on the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle remaining cracker mixture on top; lightly spray the chicken with cooking spray.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the chicken breasts are no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 35 to 40 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

Steps:

• Combine the flour, baking soda, and spices in a mixing bowl and set aside. Cream the butter until smooth and fluffy in a mixer fitted with a paddle attachment (or using a hand mixer). Add the sugars and mix. Add the molasses and mix. Add the egg whites in 2 batches, mixing to combine after each addition. Add the dry ingredients in three batches, mixing to combine after each addition.
• Heat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spread a few tablespoons of granulated sugar on a small plate.
• Roll the dough into 3/4-inch balls, then roll each ball in the sugar until lightly coated. Transfer to parchment lined cookie sheets, leaving 1-inch of space between the cookies. Bake until browned, 8 to 10 minutes. Let cool on wire racks and store in an airtight container.

Steps:

• Coat a stove-top grill pan or griddle with cooking spray and set over medium-high heat to preheat. Season both sides of chicken with salt and black pepper. Place chicken on hot pan and cook 3 to 5 minutes per side, until cooked through.
• In a small bowl, whisk together rice wine, vegetable oil, wasabi paste, hot mustard, and ginger. Set aside.
• Heat sesame oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add slaw mix and soy sauce and cook 2 to 3 minutes, until wilted.
• Arrange wonton wrappers on a flat surface. Top each wrapper with 1 heaping teaspoon of slaw mixture. Pull up sides and pinch the middle together, making a purse. Heat peanut oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add purses and cook 1 minute, until bottom is golden brown. Add broth and bring to a simmer. Cover and steam 3 to 5 minutes, until purses are tender and translucent.
• Serve 4 of the chicken breast halves with all of the vinaigrette spooned over top and all of the beggar's purses on the side. Reserve remaining chicken for stroganoff, if desired.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F.
• Combine crushed gingersnaps, garlic powder, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt and pepper in a wide bowl.
• Pound chicken breasts with a meat mallet to 1/2-inch thickness.
• Coat the bottom of a baking pan with approximately 1 tbs. of cooking spray.
• Spray each side of both chicken breasts with approximately 1 tbs. cooking spray and dredge in gingersnap mixture.
• Lay chicken breasts side-by-side in baking pan. Sprinkle desired amount of leftover gingersnap mixture on and around chicken breasts.
• Bake for 25-30 minutes or until chicken is done (juices run clear when pricked with a fork).

Steps:

• Put oil into wok or frying pan. When hot, add garlic and stir-fry until brown.
• Add onion and chicken; stir-fry until chicken begins to turn white.
• Add ginger and red pepper, combine well.
• Add chilies and chicken stock/water, and stir-fry for 1 minute.
• Check chicken is white throughout, and then add spring onions. Cook for 30 seconds (until onions are slightly soft).
• Serve with rice.

Steps:

• Position rack in the bottom third of the oven and heat oven to 450 degrees. Place an ovenproof wire rack over a sheet pan. Dab a folded-up paper towel with olive oil and rub it over the wire rack to grease it.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the sour cream, egg white and Dijon mustard until smooth. Season with salt. Lay the chicken flat on a cutting board and carve each breast in half horizontally so you end up with four thin cutlets. Add the chicken to the sour cream mixture, and using your hands, smear the sour cream all over the chicken.
• In a large bowl, crush the Ritz crackers into coarse pieces with your fingers. Some crackers will turn to rubble while others turn to dust. Add the cheese, garlic powder, onion powder and olive oil. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and toss until evenly distributed. Holding one of the chicken cutlets by its thinner end, add to the bowl with the crumbs, and using your hands, pack the crumbs onto the chicken, pressing them in to create a thick coating. Transfer the breaded chicken to the rack in the sheet pan. Repeat with the remaining three cutlets.
• Bake the cutlets until the outsides are crispy and the insides are no longer pink, 10 to 15 minutes. Let the chicken cool slightly so the coating can set, about 5 minutes, before transferring to plates and serving.

Steps:

• Between 2 sheets plastic wrap, place chicken and gently pound to uniform thickness. Sprinkle both sides with cumin, coriander, cinnamon, pepper, cayenne pepper and salt.
• In saucepan, place chicken broth and apricot preserves; bring to boil over high heat. Add garlic and cook until mixture is reduced by half and glaze is formed. Remove from heat and stir in jalapeno peppers, onion, 1 tablespoon of the parsley and lime juice.
• Place oil in large ovenproof frypan; heat to medium-high heat and add chicken, quickly browning on both sides. Place pan in 350 degree F. oven and bake about 5 minutes or until fork can be inserted in chicken with ease.
• Arrange chicken on platter; spoon glaze over and around chicken. Sprinkle with remaining parsley. Garnish with parsley sprigs and lime slices.
