Time 1h

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 15

¼ cup butter
1 small onion, chopped
3 celery ribs, chopped
3 carrots, chopped
⅔ cup frozen peas
3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
¼ teaspoon dried thyme
¼ cup all-purpose flour
2 cups lower-sodium chicken broth
⅔ cup half-and-half cream
salt and ground black pepper to taste
3 cups cooked chicken, cut into bite-size pieces
1 (16.3 ounce) can refrigerated flaky-style biscuits (such as Pillsbury Grands®)
1 egg yolk, beaten
1 tablespoon water

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Melt butter in a skillet over medium-low heat, and cook the onion, celery, and carrots until the celery and carrots are tender, about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in peas, parsley, thyme and flour, and cook, stirring constantly, until the flour coats the vegetables and begins to fry, about 5 minutes. Whisk in chicken broth and half-and-half, and cook until the sauce is thick and bubbling. Season to taste with salt and black pepper, and mix in the chicken meat.
  • Transfer the chicken, vegetables, and sauce into a 2-quart baking dish. Arrange biscuits on top of the filling. In a small bowl, beat egg yolk with water; brush egg yolk on the biscuits.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the biscuits are golden brown and the pie filling is bubbling, 20 to 25 minutes. Let rest 10 minutes before serving.

FABULOUS SOUTHERN-STYLE OVEN FRIED CHICKEN



Fabulous Southern-Style Oven Fried Chicken image

I devised this to resolve my southern husband's taste for fried chicken with a HEALTHY, non-deep-fried version, with no wheat, milk, eggs, or processed or artificial ingredients. It's a delicious EASY recipe that works for chicken legs, thighs, or breasts. Make PLENTY in the summer to eat as is, or use leftovers for chicken SALAD!

Provided by Scoopers

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 1h15m

Yield 3 plates, 3-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

10 chicken legs (or 3 chicken breasts, bone-in works just fine and is more economical than boneless)
1 tablespoon dried rosemary
1/2 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1 tablespoon potato starch
2 tablespoons oats
1 pinch powdered ginger (optional)
canola oil cooking spray
1/2 cup water

Steps:

  • For moistest results soak chicken pieces in a bowl of salted water for 15 minutes before cooking.
  • Line baking tray with foil and spray lightly with oil.
  • Grind dry ingredients in coffee grinder or with pestle and mortar.
  • Pour into a bowl and add water little by little while stirring until a smooth runny paste is achieved. You may need more or less water.
  • Remove chicken from soaking water, and pat dry if necessary.
  • Dip into the rosemary coating until covered, and place on baking tray. This will seal in the juices.
  • Bake at 365º for one hour.
  • Once it's in, put your feet up for at least ten minutes, drink a glass of cold water, breathe deeply - and relax. Your chicken is safe.
  • Suggestions: Serve with brown rice and greens, or if you have cooked breasts or thighs, then serve the chicken chopped into a salad with cucumbers, roma tomatoes and red onion, topped with Chimichurri sauce - a purée of cilantro, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic and salt.

FABULOUS CHICKEN SALAD



Fabulous Chicken Salad image

This is a wonderful chicken salad. Apple and grapes add freshness to the dish. We love the addition of coleslaw dressing mix to the salad. It adds a touch of sweetness and makes the chicken salad extra creamy. This would be perfect for a light lunch or snack.

Provided by Stacey Vadas

Categories     Salads

Number Of Ingredients 10

6 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
32 oz low-salt, fat-free chicken broth
3 stalk(s) celery, minced
1 small white onion, minced
1 c seedless red grapes, quartered
1/2 granny smith apple, diced
3/4 c mayonnaise
3/4 c Kraft 1-step coleslaw maker
1/2 tsp curry powder
salt and pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • 1. Place chicken breasts in a large pot with chicken broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until chicken breasts are thoroughly cooked.
  • 2. Cool slightly and then either shred or cut into small chunks.
  • 3. Meanwhile, mince the celery and onion. Quarter the grapes. Dice the apples.
  • 4. Mix the mayonnaise and coleslaw mix together. Fold in the chicken and all the prepared ingredients along with the curry powder. Mix well. If desired, add salt and pepper to taste. (I do not use any salt in this recipe--only freshly ground pepper; you can also increase the curry powder to 3/4 teaspoon if you wish a stronger flavor).
  • 5. Refrigerate at least 2 hours before serving to allow flavors to blend. Keep refrigerated.

FABULOUS CHICKEN



Fabulous Chicken image

This recipe came out of our church cookbook. The ingredients sound crazy and the directions seem too easy, but just follow them and you will LOVE it! I like to serve it over penne noodles or rice.

Provided by Leah Robertson

Categories     Chicken

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 boneless chicken breast
1/4 c melted butter
1 large package, shredded swiss cheese
1 can(s) cream of mushroom soup
1/4 c white grape juice
1 pkg good seasons (herb and garlic)

Steps:

  • 1. Place chicken breasts in baking dish.
  • 2. Top with cheese.
  • 3. Mix soup and juice together and pour on top of cheese.
  • 4. Mix dressing mix with butter and pour over soup. Bake at 350 for 1 hour.
  • 5. I substitued Gerber's pear juice once because it comes in a tiny bottle and I didn't want to buy a big bottle of white grape juice and it turned out great. I also discovered that Lipton Herb and Garlic soup mix is MUCH cheaper than the dressing mix and so I added 1/2 package of soup mix instead of a package of dressing mix.

### **3 Top Secrets to Make the Best Crispy and Juicy Southern-Fried and Oven-Baked Chickens:** ### **1. Buttermilk Marinade is the Key to Tender and Flavorful Meat:** - Buttermilk acts as a natural meat softener, resulting in extremely moist and succulent chicken. - The lactic acid in buttermilk helps break down the chicken's tough muscle fibers, making it more palatable. - Buttermilk marinade also infuses the chicken with a savory and slightly tangy taste. ### **2. Double Coating Technique for an Unmatched Crispy Exterior:** - The secret to irresistibly crispy chicken lies in the double-coating method. - Start with a layer of seasoned all-purpose or self-rising seasoned-flour. - Next, coat the chicken in buttermilk. - Repeat the process of seasoned-flour and buttermilk one more time, creating a thick, flavorful crust. - This double-coating ensures maximum crunchiness and helps the chicken stay crispy even after a while. ### **3. High-Heat Seared, Low-Heat Slow-Cooked Method for Perfectly Cooked Meat:** - For a combination of crispy skin and juicy, fall-off-the-bones meat, use this two-step cooking technique. - Sear chicken in a skillet over high heat, creating a golden-crisp crust that locks in the chicken's natural juices. - After searing, transfer the chicken to a preheated 350°F (175°C) and continue cooking until the meat is fall-off-the-bones. - This method ensures evenly and perfectly-cooked chicken with a perfectly crisp and juicy texture. ### **Conclusion:** These three top-secrets - buttermilk marinade, double-coating, and high-sear-low-cook technique - are the foundation for making the most delicious, crispy, and juicy Southern-Fried or Oven-Baked chicken. With these tips, you can impress your family and friends with a perfect chicken dinner that will leave them craving for more.
