What are some unique recipes for chicken?

Get a whole chicken, thawed, mix 4 ounces apple juice and 2 tablespoons jamaican island rub. Carefully pull the skin away from the breast without tearing it, inject the mixture of apple juice into the breast, using as few entry points as possible, you will use the same hole but different angles for the injection. Try to inject the mixture to get good coverage throughout the breast as possible, replace the skin and put rub all over the outside of the chicken, you can't get too much rub, within reason. Next, quarter an apple, three or four slices of orange, two garlic cloves (crushed) and place them in the cavity. You can cook it on the grill or in the oven, when the internal temperature is 175 degrees farenheit, take it out of the oven and loosley cover it with foil and let in rest for 15 to 20 minutes.

CHICKEN BREASTS SUPREME


6 boneless chicken breasts


6 slices bacon


1 jar dried beef- 4 oz (chopped)


1 can cream of mushroom soup


1 (4 oz.) can mushroom stems and pieces (drained)-optional


1/2 c. sour cream


Parsley- optional (gives a nice pretty effect)


Wrap chicken breasts in bacon slices. Sprinkle the chopped dried beef into a baking pan. Arrange chicken breasts on dried beef. Combine remaining ingredients. Pour over the chicken. Sprinkle parsley on top. Bake at 250 degrees for 1 1/2 hours or until tender. Serve gravy over white rice, baked or mashed potatoes or noodles. Serves 6.


Note: I wash the dried beef in warm water and then drain, to take away the saltiness. Although this contains bacon, this is not a greasy dish.Very delicious.What are some unique recipes for chicken?

Cook Time: 15 minutes


Ingredients:


4 boneless chicken breast halves without skin


1/4 cup all-purpose flour


1/2 teaspoon salt


1/4 teaspoon pepper


1/2 teaspoon basil, dried


3 tablespoons butter or margarine


3 tablespoons olive oil


4 to 8 ounces fresh mushrooms, sliced (1/2 to 1 cup sliced)


1/2 cup Marsala or any red wine(I use red wine from a box that I also drink it works good!)


Preparation:


Pound chicken to 1/4'; thickness between 2 sheets of plastic wrap. Combine flour, salt, pepper, and basil; mix well. Heat oil and butter in a heavy non-stick skillet over medium high heat. Dredge chicken in seasoned flour mixture. Cook chicken until lightly browned on first side (about 2 to 3 minutes). Turn chicken and add mushrooms around the chicken pieces. Cook about 2 minutes longer, until lightly browned; stir the mushrooms. Add Marsala wine to pan. Reduce heat to medium-low; cover and simmer 10 minutes. Serve with hot cooked pasta, mashed potatoes, or rice.
Well, as my partner always insists on fresh swanky bread being in the house..... but never actually eats it - I have come up with mummy's fine fried chicken!





Either chuck some nice leftover bread in a blender, or bought breadcrumbs into a blender, add salt, paprika, white pepper and garam masala or cumin... quantities up to you. Then just chop up the chicken and do the flour, milk, breadcrumbs thing and deep fry, oven bake, or pan fry.





Or the best thing is to dip the chicken bits into melted butter and then smother them in dukkah. Then cook to your liking. Mmmmmmm...





OR you can bash some chicken breasts out thinly, take one and coat with white sauce, cheese and green olives, the put another breast on top, coat in cheese and oven bake.





Or bash some breasts out thinly and line with spinach leaves and top with a sauteed finely chopped mushroom, parsley, pine nut, garlic mix, roll up and secure with a toothpick then smother with pasta sauce and oven bake.

Pecan Crusted Chicken Breasts with Maple Dijon Sauce





This is an ideal entree for entertaining. The chicken can be sauteed several hours ahead, leaving only the baking for last minute. The recipe can easily be doubled or tripled; simply saute the chicken in batches. It is also good cold.





1/2 cup + 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided


1/4 cup + 4 tablespoons Dijon mustard + more to taste


1/4 cup dry white wine or dry vermouth


1 tablespoon minced garlic


2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh sage leaves


4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts (without the tenderloin attached)


7 tablespoons pure maple syrup


1 1/2 cups finely chopped pecans


1 cup all-purpose flour


1 teaspoon sea salt


1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper





Whisk 1/2 cup olive oil, 1/4 cup mustard, wine, garlic and sage in a bowl. Pour into a heavy Ziploc bag. Add chicken, turning to coat all sides. Refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight, turning once.





To make sauce: Whisk maple syrup with 4 tablespoons Dijon. Taste and add 1 or 2 more teaspoons Dijon to taste. (Sauce may be refrigerated overnight. Bring to room temperature before serving.) Mix pecans, flour, salt and pepper on a plate. Remove chicken from marinade. Coat chicken on both sides with pecan mixture. If time permits, refrigerate at least 1 hour to help crumbs adhere.





In a large skillet, heat remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil over medium-high heat until hot. Add chicken. Cook until golden, about 3 minutes per side. Place on greased, rimmed baking sheet. (Cooled breasts may be refrigerated covered for several hours.)





Preheat oven to 425°. Bake chicken until cooked through, about 12 minutes, if at room temperature; 16-18 minutes, if chilled. Transfer to plates, drizzle with maple-mustard sauce and pass the rest.


Serves 4
