Drain the pan of oil and deglaze with the sour cream, stirring with a whisk over medium heat. Add the remaining tablespoon of mustard and season with salt and pepper.





Place a pool of the sauce on each of four plates and place the cooked chicken on top.Chicken recipes?
I don't know exactly how healthy this is, but a very simple recipe for baked ';fried'; chicken, is to dip the chicken pieces in one beaten egg, then roll in mashed cheddar fried onions (like the kind people use on top of green bean casserole), and place in oven at 425 for 1/2 hour or until no longer pink. Enjoy!
try the savory herd and garlic seasoning, it is made by lipton (i think), very tasty, cut up some onion and add it, it is a sure hit.
Perfect Roast Chicken








Serves 4





1 six-pound roasting chicken


2 tablespoons unsalted butter


Salt and freshly ground black pepper


2 medium onions, peeled and sliced crosswise 1/2 inch thick


1 lemon


3 large cloves garlic, peeled


4 sprigs fresh thyme


1 cup Homemade Chicken Stock , or canned low-sodium chicken broth, skimmed of fat





Let chicken and 1 tablespoon butter stand at room temperature for 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 425掳. Remove and discard the plastic pop-up timer from chicken if there is one. Remove the giblets and excess fat from the chicken cavity. Rinse chicken inside and out under cold running water. Dry chicken thoroughly with paper towels. Tuck the wing tips under the body. Sprinkle the cavity of the chicken liberally with salt and pepper, and set aside.


In the center of a heavy-duty roasting pan, place onion slices in two rows, touching. Place the palm of your hand on top of lemon and, pressing down, roll lemon back and forth several times. This softens the lemon and allows the juice to flow more freely. Pierce entire surface of lemon with a fork. Using the side of a large knife, gently press on garlic cloves to open slightly. Insert garlic cloves, thyme sprigs, and lemon into cavity. Place chicken in pan, on onion slices. Cut about 18 inches of kitchen twine, bring chicken legs forward, cross them, and tie together.


Spread the softened butter over entire surface of chicken, and sprinkle liberally with salt and pepper. Place in the oven, and roast until skin is deep golden brown and crisp and the juices run clear when pierced, about 1 1/2 hours. When chicken seems done, insert an instant-read thermometer into the breast, then the thigh. The breast temperature should read 180掳 and the thigh 190掳.


Remove chicken from oven, and transfer to a cutting board with a well. Let chicken stand 10 to 15 minutes so the juices settle. Meanwhile, pour the pan drippings into a shallow bowl or fat separator, and leave onions in the pan. Leave any brown baked-on bits in the bottom of the roasting pan, and remove and discard any blackened bits. Using a large spoon or fat separator, skim off and discard as much fat as possible. Pour the remaining drippings and the juices that have collected under the resting chicken back into the roasting pan. Place on the stove over medium-high heat to cook, about 1 minute. Add chicken stock, raise heat to high, and, using a wooden spoon, stir up and combine the brown bits with the stock until the liquid is reduced by half, about 4 minutes. Strain the gravy into a small bowl, pressing on onions to extract any liquid. Discard onions, and stir in the remaining tablespoon of cold butter until melted and incorporated. Untie the legs, and remove and discard garlic, thyme, and lemon. Carve, and serve gravy on the side.

Chicken Breasts with Parsley, Bacon and Avocado Salsa





Serves 4





4 skinless chicken breasts


80g unsalted butter, softened


2 garlic cloves, peeled and finely chopped


1 small bunch flat-leafed parsley, leaves only, sliced


1 pinch salt and fresh ground black pepper


12 rashers of streaky bacon





For the Avocado Salsa


2 tbsp white wine vinegar


1 tbsp water


1 pinch salt and pepper


1 tsp Sugar


40ml Walnut Oil


50ml vegetable oil


16 walnut halves


1 small red onion, peeled and finely diced


2 ripe avocados


125g baby spinach leaves, washed and dried





Preheat the oven to 190C/gas 5.


Lay the chicken breasts upside down on a chopping board and fold back the fillet from each breast.


Mix together the butter, garlic and half the parsley in a small bowl. Season well.


Stuff the herby butter between the fillet grooves of each breast. Fold each fillet back over the herb butter and season the meat.


Wrap each breast in three rashers of streaky bacon. The overlap should meet on the underside of the breast and neatly hold the fillet in place.


Bake for 20 minutes, until the bacon is crisp and the meat juices run clear from the chicken.


For the avocado salsa, whisk together the white wine vinegar, water, seasoning, a little sugar and the oils. Stir in the walnuts and diced red onion.


Halve the avocados, cut into large chunks and toss through the vinaigrette. Set aside.


Allow the chicken to rest for 5 minutes after cooking. Cut each breast into four.


Toss together the avocados with the baby spinach and the remaining parsley. Generously pile the salad on a plate and serve the sliced chicken breasts on top.

Herb Roasted Chicken With Wild Mushroom %26amp; Marsala:





* 1 hr., 20 mins.


* Serves 4





Ingredients





* 1 whole free-range chicken (3 pounds)


* 1/2 stick unsalted butter, room temperature


* 4 garlic cloves, whole


* 6 sprigs thyme


* 4 sprigs rosemary


* 2 pounds assorted wild mushrooms (oyster, white button, chanterelle), large mushrooms cut in half*


* 6 medium shallots cut in half lengthwise


* 1 cup sweet Marsala wine


* 1 cup chicken stock


* Extra-virgin olive oil


* Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper





* * You can use any kind of mushrooms you prefer or have available for this recipe.





Cooking Instructions





Preheat oven to 400掳 F.





Wash the chicken under cold running water then pat dry. Combine the garlic and butter and spread the mixture under the skin of the chicken and all over the body. Season the bird all over including the cavity with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. Take half of the thyme and rosemary and put this along with the garlic and any remaining butter inside the cavity. Fold the wing tips under the bird and tie legs together with kitchen twine.





Take a large roasting dish and add the mushrooms and shallots. Scatter remaining thyme and rosemary over the pan and add the Marsala and stock (depending on the depth of your roasting pan you may not need all of the marsala and stock -- it should be enough to cover the bottom of the pan but not submerge the mushrooms and shallots). Place the chicken on top and drizzle some extra-virgin olive oil over the whole pan and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.





Roast in the hot oven for 1 hour or until the internal temp of the bird registers 160掳 F between the leg and thigh. You may need to add more stock to the bottom of the pan if all the liquid evaporates while cooking. When done, place the bird on a plate and rest for 20 minutes.





Meanwhile take the pan with the mushrooms, shallots and juices and gently simmer over low heat on the stove top whilst scraping the bottom of the pan to loosen all the browned bits and extract all the flavor. Skim any excess fat off the jus and discard. Give it a final taste and seasoning before serving the Marsala mushrooms and shallots with the herb roasted chicken and jus.
This is the best chicken recipe. Ever!


There are a lot of spices but just go step by step and you'll do fine.

i left a great chicken recipe in your question about dinner ideas.





i'm telling you....try it and you'll love it. my husband asks for it ALL the time. it's actually a weight watcher recipe. (my dad lived with us for awhile and had to lose weight due to health issues. he went to weight watchers and would complain about food. i'd cook for him, lie, and tell him it wasn't a weight watcher recipe when it totally was. to this day whenever he visits he asks me to cook this and swears up and down he knows a weight watcher recipe from ';normal food'; recipes. i'll never tell him the truth! haha)
What I love to do w/ boneless and skinless chicken breast is heat them in a deep frying pan on the stove. I spray the pan w/ Pam or any cooking spray and then I add sliced onions and fresh crushed garlic and heat until the onions start turning golden brown. Then I add the breasts and sliced fresh mushrooms, sliced red peppers, a can of crushed tomato, a cup of dry red wine and seasoning *oregano, ground black pepper and a dash of garlic powder. When the chicken is thoroughly heated, I serve it all over a mound of white steamed or basmotti rice. Bon Appetite!
pound breast flat. lightly salt them. put a slice of thin mozzerella on top and a few slices of thinly sliced pepperoni. now roll up breast and pin together with a toothpick. put breast in egg wash then in bread crumbs. set in shallow pan with olive oil.
