Recipe suggestions for skinny chickens?

[Susie Q Roo]

Mmmmm... that'd be good with goat cheese too OR the low fat laughing cow garlic, I bet!

I'm seriously loving all these suggestions!

3 cloves garlic
1 bunch green onions, sliced, from white tips, into the dark green
4 ounces feta cheese
1 tbsp olive oil
Paprika
Garlic Powder
Onion Powder
Salt & pepper


Using the back of a large spoon or meat tenderizer, pound & flatten each breast without splitting them
In a medium skillet, sauté the garlic, mushrooms and green unions until tender
Add spinach and drain all liquid from ingredients
Add the feta cheese and salt & pepper to taste and mix
Sprinkle one side of each breast with a little paprika, garlic powder, onion powder and salt & pepper
Then Place about ½ cup of mixture on each breast and spread over the breast
Roll the breasts up, and keep closed with a toothpick if necessary, and place on a baking sheet
Then once each one is rolled, again, sprinkle each with paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder – don’t do the salt again, might be too salty
Bake at 350 for about 20 minutes or so, depends on thickness of breast, check after about 20 minutes

I'll admit when I first saw the thread title I was afraid to look... heh...

These recipes are awesome! I'm printing them out as I get stuck in the same chicken grind all the time...

One I make quite often is just a plain old chicken curry one-dish meal.
Saute in a saucepan over medium heat in butter or vegetable oil some garlic and a couple of small onions, then add curry (I use a couple of tablespoons of curry paste from a jar, like Patak's hot Madras ). (I have used curry powder; the paste is better. Or, even better
make your own based on the ingredients, HERE.)


Then add your chicken in chunks and cook through.

Then I thrown in a jar (or can) of diced tomatoes (or fresh when in season) and a can of coconut milk (I have used milk but make sure it's not skim!).

Then I add some diced potatoes and sweet potatoes/yams, and cook for about 15-20 minutes. Yummy.



Another good one....for the creamy base- do the same garlic and opinions in butter or oil as above, saute in a pot over medium heat, then add a brick of cream cheese and add milk (or cream if you want really tasty) to thin to desired consistency.

For Penne a la Campesino -add some some sun dried tomatoes and pineapple chunks, some hot sauce and pickled jalapenos.

For Alfredo sauce, add fresh fried mushrooms, lots of ground black pepper, a little salt and white wine to taste.

Then add your strips or chunks of chicken that has been baked, grilled or fried (in a teeny bit of oil), heat through, and serve over penne or fettucine.


Sorry for the recipe, I don't really follow proper recipes.

Naw, just lazy. And a slob - all my favourite recipes are splotched with oil or food and illegible, good thing I can wing it.

We do one similar to that, but we used cauliflower instead of potatoes. It is way good.

Another thing we do with fish, but could be done with chicken is to make a dressing of olive oil, dijon mustard and white wine vinegar. We used some of the dressing on some spinach or other kind of greens, roast some asparagus and cook the chicken (however you want to)

Place the chicken on a bed of the greens, the asparagus to the side, drizzle the rest of the dressing on it and yummm, it is so good.

Cauliflower would be good too in that curry, sure, and less starchy than taters.

That sounds really good. it might be good with a balsamic vinegar/red wine dressing too? I will have to try that with the fish Don caught last weekend.
We had fresh asparagus already from mom's garden last weekend too, yummy.

Another chicken recipe we do a lot is chunks of chicken grilled then heated with super spicy jerk sauce, then serve it hot on a bed of salad with ranch dressing to cut the heat of the jerk. or mix the jerk chicken with lettuce and cucumber and ranch and put it in a tortilla for a wrap.

CHICKEN PICCATA RECIPE ( I have several versions of this recipe, but it is one of my favs)

2 Boneless chicken breasts sliced in half or 3 slices or pound flat
2 TBS Butter
1 TBS Olive OIl
1/4 cup flour
3/4 tsp paprika
3/4 - 1 cup dry white wine
3 TBS lemon juice
Salt
Freshly ground pepper (white or black) to taste
1 TBS Butter (for sauce at finish)
3 TBS capers

SLICE or pound the chicken breasts to desired thickness 1/8 - 1/4" thick
MIX flour, paprika, salt and pepper

Dip chicken in flour.

HEAT butter and olive oil in sautée pan over medium heat; be careful not to burn the butter, if using it. Add chicken breasts - do not crowd the pan. Sautée for about two minutes per side. REMOVE to a warm platter; you can place platter in warm oven.

ADD lemon and wine to pan; DEGLAZE (Dissolve the remaining bits of food) the pan using a wooden spoon or spatula to scrape. This is the basis for your sauce.

BRING to a simmer, let sauce thicken.

WHEN sauce is thickened, swirl in butter. Add capers.

POUR pan juices over chicken.

I don't know if these ingredients are availble in MX,
But I would chop those birdies up, add some mayo, onions, garlic, pickles or capers and make a wonderful chicken salad on a roll with a piece of lettuce and a slice of tomato; maybe a slice of provalone ... maybe back in Ohio

Please do be sure to COOK the birdies first.

Si Senorita. Please cook the chicken

[EDIT] Isn't that as obvious as "Wait Til Next Year"

Okay, , but I have a funny chicken story for you guys. When we were in Maui, at a place, they offered crispy skin free range chicken. So I kinda' feel like the dumb a when I say..."does that have skin?"..(I don't like skin) sctx and the other couple were kinda' laughing and told me, "doesn't it say, skin free?" So, I order...I will be damned, it was, (they should have put this on the menu in the first place!) crispy skin, free range chicken! Commas, not in the right area! Well, it was good, once I peeled off the skin. Sorry Suz, don't want to go another direction, just reminded me of it!

I'm suddenly VERY hungry

I'm going to have to try some of these myself!
