Chicken recipes?

what is your favorite chicken recipe weather it is with chicken breast, ground chicken, or left overs from a whole chicken...I am looking to try some new ideas and would like your help...tyChicken recipes?
I like this recipe best with Wings (or Ribs).





COLA CHICKEN


(And more variations of recipe)


(My favorite: Wings or Ribs)





4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts


1 cup catsup


1 12oz. can cola (pepsi, coke, etc.)





Put chicken in a non-stick pan.


Mix together catsup and cola, pour over chicken.


Bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat and cook 45 minutes.


(turning chicken a few times, while cooking...to prevent from


sticking to pan)


Uncover, turn up the heat and continue to cook until the sauce


becomes thick and adheres to the chicken.


It turns into the most incredible BBQ sauce. Yummmm!





You can double the recipe and use more pieces of


chicken....wings...would be ideal...add some hot


sauce....presto ';Hot


Wings';!


I have used Ribs, just as good.





I tried this recipe with 'meatballs'....was equally


as good...served over rice.





I found another variation.....omit the catsup and add a small


jar of Salsa (any variety).





I have tried using Salsa (omitting the catsup....not).


You'd think a recipe with only '3' ingredients couldn't be


messed up....wouldn't you??


Well...while I was preparing to fix the 'Cola Chicken' recipe


using Salsa.....I was also trying to carry on a conversation with my


husband...(just proves...I can't do two things at once)....mixed


Salsa %26amp; Catsup (before I realized I was supposed to leave out


the catsup) %26amp; Cola........still turned out really tasty (to me)...might


be a little sweeter than some of you like.





I fixed chicken wings, (using the above recipe)


but...I added the spices from a MILD (I don't care for ';HOT';) Buffalo Wings packet...(the kind you get to bake in the oven).....I thought it was really good.....(but you/I can't find a 'bad' way to fix chicken).





Finally....!! I fixed the 'SALSA' chicken......that's good , too.





Another (bright)idea.....I thought of trying......replace the


catsup with a bottle of Shrimp Cocktail Sauce...and add a bag of (pop corn) shrimp.....!


Fixed the shrimp with cocktail sauce......eh...wasn't all that


great...was OK...probably won't be fixing it again.





Also tried beef stew cuts......that was pretty good.....I can see


myself making this again.


Served both over rice.....think the stew cuts would have been just as


good over noodles.





How about using the little cocktail weiners/sausages?

Lemon Cream Chicken with Champagne Risotto and Asparagus





Ingredients





3 cups chicken broth


5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil (EVOO)


1 onion, chopped


2 cloves garlic, chopped


1 cup arborio rice


Salt and pepper


1 split champagne or sparkling wine


3/4 cup heavy cream


One 3-inch piece peel and juice of 1 lemon





1 pinch cayenne pepper


2 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves


1/8 pound sliced pancetta, chopped


1 small bunch asparagus, cut on an angle into 1-inch pieces


1 large shallot, thinly sliced


1/2 cup grated parmigiano-reggiano cheese


3 to 4 sprigs thyme, leaves stripped and chopped











1. In a medium saucepan, heat the chicken broth over low heat. In a medium skillet, heat 2 tablespoons EVOO, 2 turns of the pan, over medium-high heat. Add the onion and garlic to the skillet and cook until softened, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the rice and toss to coat; season with salt and pepper. Stir in the champagne and boil to evaporate slightly, about 2 minutes.


2. Stir a couple of ladlefuls of warm chicken broth into the rice and cook, stirring occasionally, until the liquid evaporates. Add more broth, a few ladlefuls at a time, reserving 1/2 cup. Cook until creamy, stirring occasionally, about 18 minutes.


3. While the risotto cooks, in a small saucepan, cook the cream, lemon peel and cayenne over medium-low heat until slightly reduced, about 15 minutes.


4. Meanwhile, season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. In a nonstick skillet, heat 2 tablespoons EVOO , 2 turns of the pan, over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for about 6 minutes on each side. Transfer to a cutting board (reserving the skillet); add the reserved 1/2 cup chicken broth to the pan juices in the skillet and stir. Stir this liquid into the risotto as it cooks.


5. In the nonstick skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon EVOO , 1 turn of the pan, over mediumhigh heat. Add the pancetta and cook for about 3 minutes. Add the asparagus and shallot and cook, stirring, for 3 more minutes.


6. To serve, stir the cheese and thyme into the risotto and spoon generous portions onto plates. Slice the chicken breasts on an angle and fan out over the risotto. Discard the lemon peel from the reduced cream; spoon over the chicken. Pour the lemon juice over the asparagus and toss; spoon around the risotto.

My favorite Recipe is:





Buffalo Chicken Wings





INGREDIENTS


12 chicken wings, split and tips discarded


3 tablespoons butter, divided


1/4 cup all-purpose flour


1 tablespoon distilled white vinegar


3 teaspoons hot pepper sauce


1/4 teaspoon salt

DIRECTIONS


Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).


Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a 9x13 inch baking dish in preheated oven. Coat chicken with flour, shake off excess and place in dish.


Bake uncovered in preheated oven for 20 minutes. Turn pieces and bake uncovered for another 20 to 25 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through and no longer pink inside when thickest pieces are cut in the center. Drain on paper toweling.


In a small bowl combine the remaining 1 tablespoon butter, vinegar, pepper sauce and salt and mix until well blended. Add chicken and toss until evenly coated with mixture. Serve with bleu cheese salad dressing.





This is the best for any occasion.
Serve this with pasta:

Beat egg and stir in 1/4 cup milk. Dip chunks of chicken in egg mixture and then into bread crumbs, coating well. Brown in a little oil until golden.

Apple chicken


Get two boneless, skinless breasts. Brown them in a skillet for about 3 minutes on each side. Put them in a glass baking dish. In a clean skillet saute 1 C of chopped apples and 2 tsp. of minced garlic in 2 tbs. of oil. Once they're a little cooked add 3/4 C apple juice and let it simmer for a few minutes. Pour everything over the chicken breasts and bake the chicken for 1 hour at 350 turning it over halfway through cooking time. Because its baked submerged in the juice its super tender and juicy with great flavor. Serve it topped with some of the apple pieces.





Captain crunch chicken (Not a joke, its real)


Coat two chicken breasts in honey or an egg wash and then toss the chicken in a baggie filled with 2 C crushed cereal (you can use frosted flakes or pretty much any cereal you like) make sure you coat it well. Put them in a baking dish and bake them for 45 min. to an hour at 350, turn them halfway through cooking time.
