PARMESAN CRUSTED CHICKEN BREASTS WITH TOMATO AND BASIL AND POTATOES WITH PEPPERS AND ONIONS



Parmesan Crusted Chicken Breasts with Tomato and Basil and Potatoes with Peppers and Onions image

Provided by Rachael Ray : Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 27m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/2 to 2 pounds fingerling potatoes or red skin baby potatoes
1 small red bell pepper, seeded and cut into thin strips
1 Italian mild green pepper, cubanelle, seeded and thinly sliced
1 medium yellow skinned onion, thinly sliced
4 large cloves garlic, cracked away from skin
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, divided
Coarse salt and pepper
2 cups shredded Parmesan, available in tubs near deli -- make sure to get shredded cheese, not grated
4 (6 to 8-ounce) boneless, skinless chicken breasts
4 plum Roma tomatoes or small, vine ripe tomatoes, seeded and chopped
15 to 20 leaves fresh basil, pile leaves, roll then thinly slice -- chiffonade

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 500 degrees F.
  • Cut fingerling potatoes into halves or quarters, depending on thickness of fingerlings -- thin, small fingerlings may also be left whole, larger potatoes should be quartered to speed cooking process. If you are using small red potatoes, halve or quarter them in the same way.
  • Cover a large cookie sheet with foil. Place potatoes on cookie sheet. Combine with peppers and onions, garlic and crushed red pepper flakes. Coat the potatoes, peppers and onions with extra-virgin olive oil just enough to coat vegetables in a thin layer, 2 to 3 tablespoons. Season liberally with salt and pepper. Place potatoes in the oven and roast 20 to 22 minutes, until potatoes are just tender and peppers and onions are crisp at edges. Toss mixture with tongs, turning the potatoes after 15 minutes. When the potatoes are cooked, transfer them to a serving dish and peel the foil off the cookie sheet and discard for super-quick clean up!
  • While potatoes cook, prepare chicken. Roll out a 2-foot piece of waxed paper or foil near the stove top. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium high heat -- your pan must be very hot when the chicken is added. Pile the shredded cheese on the work surface created with the waxed paper or foil. Season your chicken breasts with black pepper but no salt; the cheese will add enough salt to the taste of the dish. Press the breasts firmly into the cheese. Coat both sides of breasts with as much cheese as possible. Add 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil to the skillet, 1 turn of the pan. Set breasts into the skillet and cook 7 minutes on each side, until cheese forms an even, golden casing around the tender chicken breasts.
  • While chicken cooks, combine chopped tomatoes with basil in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper, to your taste.
  • Drain off any excess oil from chicken as you remove it from the skillet. Top chicken with big spoonfuls of raw sauce and serve with potatoes, peppers and onions.

BASIL-PARMESAN CHICKEN SALAD



Basil-Parmesan Chicken Salad image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 quarts water
1 onion
2 garlic cloves
2 bay leaves
1 small bunch flat-leaf parsley, tied with kitchen twine
1 teaspoon salt
6 chicken breast halves, on the bone, with skin, 4 1/2 pounds total weight
2 garlic cloves
2 cups packed basil leaves
1 cup mayonnaise
3/4 cup freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano
Juice of 1 lemon
1 1/2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • In a large heavy pot, bring the water to a boil. Peel, trim, and quarter the onion. Peel, trim, and smash the garlic.
  • Add the onion, garlic, bay leaves, parsley, and salt to the boiling water and boil for about 10 minutes.
  • Carefully slide the chicken breasts into the pot and return the water to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and poach the chicken for about 15 minutes. Turn off the heat, remove the cover, and let the chicken cool in the liquid.
  • When cool enough to handle, remove the chicken from the broth, skin and bone it, and shred into bite-sized pieces. Put in a large bowl. (Be sure to strain and reserve the broth for making soups or sauces.)
  • Make the dressing: Peel, trim, and chop the garlic as fine as possible. Rinse the basil leaves, pat them dry, and chop very fine.
  • In a bowl, combine the garlic and basil with the remaining dressing ingredients. If you would like a smoother sauce, blend all the ingredients in a blender or food processor until saucelike.
  • Spoon the dressing over the chicken, toss well to combine, and transfer to a serving platter. Serve within 1 hour of finishing.

Provided by Biden For President

Categories     Dinner

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 21

1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
½ yellow onion, finely chopped
4 cloves garlic
¼ teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
2 cans whole peeled tomato, 28 oz.
¼ cup fresh basil, roughly chopped
freshly ground black pepper, to taste
2 large eggs
3 tablespoons milk
½ teaspoon kosher salt
1 ½ cups seasoned italian bread crumbs
¼ cup shredded parmesan cheese
¼ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
2 lb skinless, boneless chicken breasts, butterflied and pounded to ¼-inch (6 mm) thick
olive oil, for frying
1 ¾ cups grated mozzarella cheese
½ cup shredded parmesan cheese
fresh basil
rigatoni, cooked
salad
italian bread

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
  • Make the marinara sauce: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, and cook until the onion is soft and translucent, 3-5 minutes. Drain one can of tomatoes, discarding the liquid. Add the drained and full remaining can of tomatoes and salt. Using a wooden spoon or potato masher, break up the tomatoes. Then simmer for 20 minutes. Turn off the heat, remove the garlic cloves, and stir in the basil. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • While the sauce is simmering, make the chicken: Set out 2 8-inch (20 cm) square baking dishes. In one dish, whisk together the eggs, milk, and salt. In the other dish, mix the bread crumbs with the Parmesan and mozzarella. Using one hand, coat the chicken in the egg mixture. Gently shake off the excess egg, then transfer to the bread crumb mixture. Use your other hand to coat the chicken evenly on both sides, pressing the breading to adhere. Set on a baking sheet and repeat with remaining chicken.
  • In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Set a baking sheet with a wire rack on top nearby. Add 1-2 pieces of chicken to the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Cook until golden brown on both sides, flipping once, about 5 minutes total. Transfer the cooked chicken on the wire rack to drain. Wipe out the skillet, add more olive oil as needed, and repeat with remaining chicken.
  • Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce in the bottom of a 9x13-inch (22 x 33 cm) baking dish. Arrange half of the chicken in a single layer over the sauce and top with half of the mozzarella. Add another layer of sauce and top with the remaining chicken, followed by the remaining mozzarella. Finish with a layer of sauce and top with the Parmesan.
  • Bake until the cheese is melted and bubbling, 20-30 minutes.
  • Remove the chicken Parmesan from the oven and let sit for a few minutes before serving. Top with freshly torn basil, if desired, and serve with rigatoni, salad, and Italian bread alongside.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Gather and prepare all ingredients before starting to cook to ensure a smooth and efficient cooking process.
  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh basil and parmesan cheese will provide the best flavor for this dish. If possible, use organic ingredients for the best quality and taste.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When searing the chicken, make sure not to overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the chicken from cooking evenly and will result in steamed chicken instead of seared chicken.
  • Sear the chicken in batches: If necessary, sear the chicken in batches to prevent overcrowding the pan. This will ensure that the chicken is evenly seared and cooked properly.
  • Use a meat thermometer: To ensure that the chicken is cooked to a safe internal temperature of 165°F (74°C), use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the chicken before serving.
  • Deglaze the pan: After searing the chicken, deglaze the pan with white wine to create a flavorful sauce. This will add depth of flavor to the dish and help to prevent the pan from sticking.
  • Add the sauce to the chicken: Once the sauce has been deglazed, add the sauce to the chicken and simmer for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  • Serve immediately: Serve the chicken with basil and parmesan cheese immediately after cooking to enjoy the best flavor and texture.
