CHICKEN IN A HURRY
I cook meat and vegetables in my microwave all the time, but these stuffed chicken breasts are a stress-free favorite. Filled with chilies and cheese, they're a cinch to prepare. I like to serve them with sweet-and-sour or duck sauce on top. -Barbara Frasier, Fyffe, Alabama

CROCKPOT CHICKEN IN A HURRY
I'm hoping to do more cooking, using the crockpot on days when I know I won't feel like making dinner. I found this recipe in Fix It and Forget It Recipes for Entertaining and decided to post it here as a reminder to give it a try. The cookbook credits Yvonne Boettger from Harrisonburg, VA as the source of the recipe.

CHICKEN UNDER A BRICK IN A HURRY
Weighing down the chicken puts the skin in close contact with the pan for maximum crispiness and also locks in moisture for super juicy meat.

Steps:
- Set a large piece of foil and a heavy skillet aside for weighing down chicken. Season chicken on both sides with salt and pepper. Pour 1 Tbsp. oil into a medium cast-iron skillet. Arrange chicken thighs in pan skin side down (make sure they don't overlap) and set pan over medium-high. Place foil over chicken, then set skillet on top. Cook chicken, checking halfway through to make sure skin isn't taking on color too quickly and reducing heat to medium if needed, until skin is deep golden brown and crisp and flesh is almost completely cooked through, about 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, combine anchovy, garlic, parsley, and a pinch of salt in a small bowl. Mix in vinegar, mustard, red pepper flakes, and remaining 4 Tbsp. oil, then scallions. Taste and season pesto verde with more salt if needed.
- Remove top skillet and check chicken. There should be only a thin band of medium-rare flesh on the thickest part of thighs. Using a thin spatula, release chicken skin from pan and turn thighs over. Remove pan from heat and let chicken sit to finish cooking through, about 1 minute.
- Spoon some pesto verde onto a platter. Top with chicken, arranging skin side up, and spoon more pesto over (but don't cover up all that beautiful skin!).
Tips:
- Choose the right chicken: For this recipe, boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs work best. If you're using chicken breasts, slice them into thin strips for quicker cooking.
- Marinate the chicken: Marinating the chicken in a flavorful mixture of soy sauce, ginger, and garlic adds extra flavor and helps tenderize the meat. You can marinate the chicken for as little as 30 minutes or up to overnight.
- Use a hot skillet: When cooking the chicken, make sure the skillet is nice and hot before adding the chicken. This will help sear the chicken and prevent it from sticking.
- Don't overcrowd the skillet: Cook the chicken in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the skillet. Overcrowding will cause the chicken to steam rather than sear, resulting in less flavorful chicken.
- Cook the chicken until it's cooked through: Be sure to cook the chicken until it's cooked through, but not overcooked. Overcooked chicken will be dry and tough.
- Serve immediately: This dish is best served immediately after cooking, while the chicken is still hot and juicy.
Conclusion:
Chicken in a Hurry is a quick, easy, and delicious weeknight meal that's perfect for busy families. This recipe is also versatile and can be easily adapted to your own tastes. For example, you can add different vegetables to the stir-fry, or you can use a different type of sauce. Chicken in a Hurry is a great way to get a healthy and satisfying meal on the table in no time.
