» CHICKEN MARSALA
|
|
1 3/4 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth (14 fl oz)
2 tablespoons finely chopped shallot
5 tablespoons unsalted butter
10 oz mushrooms, trimmed and thinly sliced
1 1/2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh sage
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
1 cup all-purpose flour
4 skinless boneless chicken breast halves (2 lb total)
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons dry Marsala wine
2/3 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice |
Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 200°F.
Bring broth to a boil in a 2-quart saucepan over high heat, then boil, uncovered, until reduced to about 3/4 cup, about 20 minutes.
Cook shallot in 3 tablespoons butter in an 8- to 10-inch heavy skillet over moderate heat, stirring, until shallot begins to turn golden, about 1 minute. Add mushrooms, 1 teaspoon sage, salt, and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until liquid mushrooms give off is evaporated and mushrooms begin to brown, 6 to 8 minutes. Remove from heat.
Put flour in a wide shallow bowl. Gently pound chicken to 1/4 inch thick between 2 sheets of plastic wrap using the flat side of a meat pounder or a rolling pin.
Pat chicken dry and season with salt and pepper, then dredge in flour, 1 piece at a time, shaking off excess. Transfer to sheets of wax paper, arranging chicken in 1 layer.
Heat 1 tablespoon each of oil and butter in a 10-inch heavy skillet over moderately high heat until foam subsides, then sauté half of chicken, turning over once, until golden and just cooked through, about 4 minutes total. Transfer cooked chicken to a large heatproof platter, arranging in 1 layer, then put platter in oven to keep warm. Wipe out skillet with paper towels and cook remaining chicken in same manner, then transfer to oven, arranging in 1 layer.
Add 1/2 cup wine to skillet and boil over high heat, stirring and scraping up brown bits, about 30 seconds. Add reduced broth, cream, and mushrooms, then simmer, stirring occasionally, until sauce is slightly thickened, 6 to 8 minutes. Add lemon juice and remaining 2 tablespoons wine and 1/2 teaspoon sage.
Serve chicken with sauce. |

| Lombardi Chicken |
| Place each piece of chicken breast between two pieces of clear
plastic wrap; pound with flat side of meat mallet until 1/8 inch
thick. Remove plastic wrap. Coat chicken lightly with flour.
In a 12 inch skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of the butter over medium
heat; add half of the chicken pieces. Cook for 2 min. on each side.
Transfer to a 2 quart rectangular baking dish. Repeat with another 1
tablespoon of the butter and remaining chicken pieces; transfer to
the dish.
Melt remaining butter in the skillet. Add mushrooms.Cook and stir
until tender; add wine, broth, and dash of salt and pepper. Bring to
boiling; boil gently until mixture is reduced to 1/2 cup including
mushrooms (about 5 min.) Pour over the chicken.
Combine mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses and green onion; sprinkle
over the chicken. Bake, uncovered, in 375 oven for 20 min. |
| Parmesan Chicken Breasts |
| Mix together the mayonnaise, parmesan cheese, and oregano. Spoon
over chicken breasts in oven-proof glass or ceramic - like a 6"x12"
pyrex baking dish or a 9" round pie plate. Bake uncovered 1 hour at
375 degrees. |
| Lemon Sauce Chicken |
| Mix mayonaise, lemon juice, vinegar, salt, and pepper in bowl. Place
chicken in casserole dish and spoon mixture over chicken. Bake in
350 degree oven for 1 hour, until bubbly and lightly browned. |
| Chicken breasts alfredo |
| Very Easy and delicious! Heat oven to 375 degrees. Drizzle chicken
breasts w/ a little olive oil. Season with garlic powder, seasoned
salt or your preferred seasonings. Bake for approx. 1 hr. Pour some
of the Alfredo sauce in baking dish and cook for additional15-20
mins. Then top with as much cheese you want, melt if you want..IT's
awesome! Great with fresh spinach. |
| Chicken Mozarella |
| Mix the parmesan with the Italian seasoning. Coat the chicken
breasts with egg and dredge in the parmesan. Saute in a little olive
oil until browned. Remove from skillet. Place onto a cookie cooling
rack which has been placed on a LINED cookie sheet. Put a slice of
bacon on each piece (or two-whatever it takes to cover surface of
chicken)...on top of that, the mozarella. Bake until the chicken is
done through. Enjoy!
The way to test for doneness: press with a fork, the thickest part
of the breast...it should press just slightly and bounce back up.
The amount it should press is to be compared to the amount the end
of your nose presses when pressed gently with your finger.
STEAK/HAMBURGER DONENESS:
GENTLY....
1. Press the space between your upper lip and nose(relaxed-don't
tense it). This is RARE.
2. Press the side of your nostril. This is MED RARE.
3. Press the end of your nose. This is MEDIUM (also perfect for
chicken breasts---no dry, cardboard chicken this way!)
4. Press the bridge of your nose (where the cartilage meets the
bone). This is WELL DONE. Transfer the idea of how much these areas press down to your meat and it will be exactly as you want it. |

| Cheese Death |
| I put together this recipe after getting bored with all the usual
foods of the diet. When making this recipe it is important to
transcend the limitations of measurements.
Put the olive oil in a large frying pan on medium heat. Watch the
oil change consistency slightly. Place your thawed chicken in the
pan and adjust temperature to keep chicken chatting nicely in the
oil. Spring Oregano on top. Cook chicken so as to only turn once. I
let the white get to about half-way through the chicken, then flip.
Apply liberal oregano sprinklings on other side.After the chicken is
firm, take out of pan and set aside. Add lemon juce in and stir in
oil. Next add in the heavy cream and butter. Warm until mixed. Gently add in parmesean cheese, stirring and making sure to get a nice smoothe consistency. Add more cheese as necessary to get a nice thick sauce. Add more oregano. |
| Awesome Chicken Salad |
| Mix chicken, eggs, spices, and any optional ingredients, then add
enough mayo to make nice consistancy. I like it as is but you can
spread on a leaf of lettuce if desired. Most ingredients 0 carbs. |
| Atkins Baked Chicken |
| Heat oven to 350. For best results, use glass bottom baking dish (if
not available, cookie/baking sheets are fine too). No need to spray
or butter.
Prepare chicken drumsticks (thaw, etc, if they have been in the
freezer). Prepare two bowls, one w/ the beaten egg, the other with
the Atkins mix -- which includes the bake mix, adobo seasonings and
liberal amounts of salt and pepper (to taste). (To those making
Italian-style, grate your parmesan/romano cheese into the bake mix,
and add liberal amounts of Italian seasonings and adobo). Mix baking
mix around till everything is well-blended. Dip chicken into egg
batter, cover well. Take the egg-battered chicken and dip into bake
mix, cover well. Take covered chicken drum and place into baking
dish. Repeat for as many drums as needed. When completed, place into
pre-heated oven. Baked for about 40-45 minutes. |
