Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

6 chicken breast fillets, flattened to 1/4-inch-thick
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon kosher salt
2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
2 tablespoons salted butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 large onion, finely diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 jar (15.5 ounces) roasted red peppers, drained and roughly chopped
1 to 2 cups vegetable or chicken broth
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, more to taste
Freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup heavy cream (or more to taste)
One 4-ounce chunk Parmesan, to shave
2 tablespoons finely minced parsley

Steps:

  • For the chicken: Put the chicken in a resealable bag. Add the olive oil, salt, pepper and Italian seasoning to the bag and smush everything together. Seal and refrigerate.
  • For the red pepper sauce: Melt the butter and add the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and garlic and saute for 2 to 3 minutes or until starting to soften. Add the red peppers and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, until hot.
  • Add the broth (if you like a thicker sauce only add 1 cup broth, for a thinner sauce add 2 cups broth), salt and pepper and stir until heated. Splash in the cream.
  • Remove the skillet from the heat. Carefully transfer the contents of the skillet to a food processor or blender. Place on the lid and puree the pepper mixture until totally blended (there will still be some texture to the peppers). You can serve the sauce right away or cool it and bag it up.
  • When ready to cook, heat a grill pan over medium-high heat and grill the chicken until cooked through, about 4 minutes a side.
  • Heat up the red pepper sauce in a pan. Serve everyone a piece of chicken, spoon some sauce over each piece, and garnish with Parmesan shavings and a sprinkling of parsley. Serve with roasted vegetables alongside.

Chicken in Red Pepper Sauce image

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts (about 8 ounces each)
1 red bell pepper, quartered
2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 1/2 pounds green beans, trimmed
Juice of 1/2 lemon
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt
2 tablespoons sliced almonds
2 cloves garlic, lightly crushed
1 thick slice country bread, cut into cubes (1 1/4 cups)
2 tablespoons capers, drained
2 tablespoons roughly chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Put the chicken in a medium Dutch oven or heavy pot and add the bell pepper and chicken broth. Bring to a boil. Cover and reduce the heat to medium low; gently simmer until the chicken is just cooked through, about 12 minutes. Transfer the chicken and bell pepper to a plate using a slotted spoon; let cool. Shred the chicken.
  • Add the beans to the pot with the broth. Increase the heat to high, cover and cook until crisp-tender, 7 minutes. Transfer the beans to a colander using a slotted spoon, reserving the broth in the pot; rinse under cold water and let drain. Transfer to a medium bowl and toss with the lemon juice, 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  • Meanwhile, lightly toast the almonds in a dry skillet over medium heat, 1 to 2 minutes; remove to a plate and set aside. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and the garlic to the skillet. Cook until softened, about 1 minute. Add the bread. Cook, stirring often, until golden, about 5 minutes. Transfer the garlic and bread to a blender or food processor along with the bell pepper, 1/2 cup of the warm broth, 1 tablespoon each capers and parsley, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Puree until smooth; transfer to a large bowl.
  • Add the chicken to the red pepper sauce; season with salt and toss. Top each serving with the remaining capers and parsley; serve the green beans on the side, sprinkled with the almonds.

CHICKEN CANNELLONI WITH CHEESE SAUCE



Chicken Cannelloni With Cheese Sauce image

Chicken Cannelloni is a favorite of mine and I love mixing red and white sauce! Yummy, but not low fat!

Provided by Cook4_6

Categories     European

Time 1h30m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 20

1 3/4 cups cooked chicken, diced
1 lb lasagna noodle
2 tablespoons butter or 2 tablespoons margarine
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 small onion, finely chopped
4 ounces mushrooms, chopped
1 large egg, beaten
2 tablespoons heavy cream or 2 tablespoons half-and-half
1/4 teaspoon thyme
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 bunch spinach, cooked until
3 tablespoons butter or 3 tablespoons margarine
4 tablespoons flour
1 1/2 cups chicken broth
3 cups half-and-half
salt and pepper
1 cup parmesan cheese
1/2-1 cup mozzarella cheese, grated (optional)
spaghetti sauce (homemade or store bought) (optional)

Steps:

  • THE NIGHT BEFORE (or early in the day): Cook lasagna noodles in 6 quarts boiling water for 5-7 minutes or until tender; drain, wipe noodles dry with a clean/dry cloth, lay flat on waxed paper.
  • While noodles are cooking, melt butter and olive oil in a large skillet.
  • Saute onion, garlic and mushrooms until they're tender; add remove from heat; set aside.
  • Place cooked chicken in food processor and pulse until chicken resembles a tuna salad mixture.
  • Combine chicken with the onions, garlic, mushrooms and the fat in which they were sauteed; add egg, cream and seasonings. Add spinach (cooked) and mix well.
  • Cut each lasagna noodle into 2 or 3 pieces-each piece should be 3 to 4 inches long; place a tablespoonful of the chicken filling on each piece and roll into a tubular shape. If you don't want to make canneloni, just layer the ingredients like you would for lasagna.
  • Arrange rolls next to each other, one layer deep, in a buttered baking dish; set aside while you prepare the cheese sauce.
  • CHEESE SAUCE: Melt butter then add the flour and cook for a few minutes to get rid of the floury taste.
  • Gradually add the chicken broth, whisking constantly to prevent lumps; add cream, salt and pepper. Cook, stirring constantly, until thickened and smooth; remove from heat. Stir in 3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese and mix well.
  • I like to use, both, red and white sauce on this one. I spoon over a strip of the white sauce, next to it I spoon on some red; keep doing that across the dish until the sauce covers the noodles. The red/white pattern makes it look pretty and gives the dish a little more flavor. It also cuts back on some of the fat.
  • Spoon sauce over cannelloni in baking dish; sprinkle with remaining Parmesan cheese and Mozzarella cheese, if used; refrigerate until you're ready to bake it.
  • BEFORE SERVING: Preheat broiler; place cannelloni 4-5 inches from heat and broil for 10 minutes or until sauce bubbles and top browns. If you'll be making lasagna, bake in a 350-degree oven for 25-30 minutes, or until it's bubbly and the top is browned a bit.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of vegetables. This will give your dish a more complex flavor and texture. Some good options include spinach, kale, mushrooms, and zucchini.
  • Don't overcook the chicken. Chicken should be cooked to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit. Overcooking will make it dry and tough.
  • Roast the red peppers yourself. This will give you a more intense flavor than using jarred roasted peppers. To roast the peppers, simply place them on a baking sheet and broil them until they are charred and blistered. Then, let them cool and peel off the skin.
  • Make sure the sauce is thick enough. The sauce should be thick enough to coat the cannelloni without being too runny. If the sauce is too thin, it will make the cannelloni soggy.
  • Serve the cannelloni immediately. This dish is best served hot out of the oven.

Conclusion:

Chicken cannelloni with roasted red pepper sauce is a delicious and impressive dish that is perfect for a special occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its combination of tender chicken, creamy cheese, and flavorful sauce, this dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
