Tuscan Style Chicken Recipes

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the fettuccine according to package directions; drain.
• Meanwhile, put the bacon in a large, cold skillet, then cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until crispy, about 8 minutes; transfer to a plate with a slotted spoon.
• Sprinkle the chicken lightly with salt and pepper and add to the skillet in a single layer. Let cook, undisturbed, until golden brown on the underside, 2 to 3 minutes. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until cooked through, about 4 minutes more. Transfer to the plate with the bacon.
• Reduce the heat to medium and add the garlic, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the tomatoes and cream and bring to a simmer, then add the spinach and stir until just wilted. Add the bacon, chicken, fettuccine and Parmesan and toss with tongs until well coated; season to taste with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with basil and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat large saute pan on medium-high for 2 minutes. Season both sides of chicken with salt and pepper.
• Place oil in pan; swirl to coat. Arrange chicken in pan and cook 3-4 minutes on one side or until lightly browned.
• Turn chicken and add remaining ingredients to pan (except cheese). Cover and cook 4-5 minutes or until internal temperature of chicken reaches 165 degrees. Meanwhile, slice mozzarella thinly.
• Remove pan from heat. Top chicken with cheese slices; cover and let stand 2-3 minutes or until cheese melts. Serve.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a heavy-based frying pan which can be used under the grill/broiler.
• Cook the chicken until golden. Remove and keep hot. Add the onion and peppers to the pan and saute gently until softened. Stir in the garlic. Return the chicken to the pan. Add the tomatoes, wine or chicken broth and oregano, and salt and pepper.
• Bring to the boil. Cover the pan tightly, lower the heat and simmer for 30-35 minutes or until the chicken is tender.
• When the chicken is thoroughly cooked, stir in the cannellini beans. Cover the pan again and raise the heat slightly. Leave to simmer for about 5 minutes more, stirring once or twice, until the beans are hot. Preheat Broiler.
• Sprinkle the breadcrumbs evenly over the mixture in the pan and grill until the crumb topping is golden brown. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Heat a large, deep skillet over medium high heat. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Add 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, half the chicken pieces, and a couple of crushed cloves of garlic.
• Brown chicken 2 minutes on each side and remove from pan. Add remaining oil, another single turn of the pan, remaining chicken pieces and garlic. Brown chicken 2 minutes on each side and remove. Add vinegar to the pan. Let it cook off.
• Add butter, shallots, and rosemary to the pan and cook 2 minutes, add flour and cook 1 minute more. Whisk in wine, reduce 1 minute. Whisk in broth and bring liquids up to a bubble. Return chicken to the pan and simmer over moderate heat 7 to 8 minutes to finish cooking chicken through.
• Dessert: This is a very rich meal. My suggestion for dessert is to set out a small cookie tray and offer coffee or tea.

Steps:

• In a 5-qt. slow cooker, combine the first eight ingredients. Stir in 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning. Place chicken on top. Sprinkle with salt, pepper and remaining Italian seasoning. Top with olives., Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours or until chicken is tender. Discard rosemary sprigs before serving.

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken until browned and no longer pink in the center, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Remove chicken and set aside on a plate.
• Add heavy cream, chicken broth, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning to the skillet. Whisk sauce over medium-high heat until starting to thicken, about 5 minutes. Add spinach and sun-dried tomatoes; simmer until spinach starts to wilt, about 1 minute. Return chicken to the skillet and cook until heated through, 2 to 3 minutes.

Steps:

• Rub each chicken half all over with 2 tablespoons oil, then 1 1/2 teaspoons pepper. Sprinkle generously with salt. Let stand at room temperature 1 hour.
• Preheat broiler. Arrange chicken, skin side down, on broiler pan. Watching closely to avoid burning, broil chicken 5 to 6 inches from heat source until golden brown, about 12 minutes. Remove broiler pan from oven. Using tongs, transfer chicken to plate. Pour off any pan drippings. Return chicken, skin side up, to broiler pan. Broil until skin is crisp and golden brown, about 5 minutes. Turn chicken over, skin side down again, and broil until cooked through, about 8 minutes longer. Transfer chicken to platter; let stand 5 minutes. Serve with lemon wedges to squeeze over

Steps:

• Season the chicken all over with salt and pepper.
• Heat the oil in a skillet over medium-low heat.
• Place the chicken thighs skin side down in the skillet and cook for about 13 minutes to crisp up the skin. Move the chicken around from time to time to ensure it cooks evenly. The skin should be hard to the touch.
• Flip the chicken, then cook for about another 15 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through. Remove from pan.
• Add the garlic and onion, stirring until onions are translucent. Stir in the tomatoes and spinach until the spinach is wilted.
• Add the heavy cream, salt, and pepper, bringing to a boil.
• Add the Parmesan cheese and parsley, stirring until the sauce has thickened slightly.
• Place the chicken back in the pan, spooning the sauce on top of the chicken.
• Enjoy!
