Stuffed Chicken with Marinated Tomatoes image

I invented this roast chicken to prove goat cheese really is delish. I served it to my skeptical family without telling them, and they gobbled it up. But any soft cheese will do. -Gilda Lester, Millsboro, DE

TOMATOES WITH CHICKEN STUFFING



Tomatoes With Chicken Stuffing image

Provided by Jacques Pepin

Categories     dinner, weekday, roasts, main course

Time 1h25m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

6 very ripe tomatoes, about 2 1/2 pounds
3 slices bread
1/2 cup milk
1 egg
3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup chopped onion (about 1 medium-size onion)
1 1/2 teaspoons crushed and chopped garlic (2 to 3 cloves)
3 tablespoons chopped parsley
2 cups diced leftover chicken (other meat may be used)
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 cloves garlic, peeled and sliced thin
1/2 teaspoon sugar
Dash cayenne pepper
1/2 cup water

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  • Cut off the very top of the tomatoes at the stem end to create a 1/4-inch lid. Set aside. With a measuring spoon, scoop out the insides of the tomatoes and place in a bowl. Gently squeeze the tomatoes to loosen any remaining juice and seeds and add to the contents of the bowl. Coarsely chop or process the juice, seeds and pulp briefly in a food processor and set aside for use in the sauce. There should be about 2 cups.
  • To make the stuffing, mix the bread and milk together in a bowl, mashing the bread with your fingers to help it absorb the milk. Stir in the egg, 1/2 teaspoon pepper and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Add the onion, chopped garlic, chives and leftover chicken; mix gently to combine. Stuff the tomatoes evenly with the stuffing mixture, mounding it on top. Set the little lids on top of each filled tomato.
  • To make the tomato sauce, pour the reserved chopped tomato mixture into a gratin dish. Stir in the olive oil, sliced garlic, sugar, remaining 1/4 teaspoon pepper, cayenne, remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and water.
  • Arrange the stuffed tomatoes on top of the sauce and put in oven about 1 hour, until tender and cooked through. Serve immediately, or set aside and serve later at room temperature.

This is summer at it's best. Boneless skinless chicken on the grill, stuffed with fresh summer tomatoes and herbs, crusty bread and fresh mozzarella cheese. Simple flavors and so easy to put together. Grill some asparagus and maybe a grilled romaine or radicchio salad means NO clean up. Perfect summertime cooking.

Provided by SarasotaCook

Categories     Chicken Breast

Time 30m

Yield 4-6 chicken breasts, 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

4 -6 large chicken breasts, boneless skinless (pocket cut for the stuffing)
4 slices fresh mozzarella cheese (if you don't want to use fresh mozzarella, you could use provolone or even swiss)
1 1/2 cups Italian dressing (1 cup to marinade, 1/2 cup to brush on during grilling)
salt
pepper
2 1/2 cups fresh breadcrumbs (I used day old baguettes, rough chopped in the food processor, don't grind them too fine)
1 1/4 cups cherry tomatoes, cut in half (grape tomatoes are a good substitution)
1/2 small onion, diced fine
1 teaspoon garlic, minced
2 scallions, green and white, fine diced
1/2 cup parmesan cheese, grated
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, minced
1 tablespoon fresh basil, minced
1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, minced
1 teaspoon olive oil
salt
pepper

Steps:

  • Chicken -- Now, my butcher at my grocery store will cut the pockets for me, but they aren't hard. Just make the pocket as big as possible so you can get the most stuffing inches I said 4-6 chicken breasts because depending on the size of the breast, you may have enough stuffing for 6.
  • Marinate -- Add the Italian dressing and chicken to a large baggie / ziplog bag, seal and toss well to coat all the chicken. I prefer to marinate the chicken all day if I have the time, but even just a hour or so will give the chicken a nice flavor. When you are ready to make the chicken, remove from the refrigerator to take the chill off.
  • Stuffing -- In a medium size sauce pan, add the olive oil and bring to medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, scallions and saute 2-3 minutes until the onions become tender, then add in the tomatoes, salt and pepper and cook until they JUST begin to get soft, 2-3 minutes if that. Remove from the heat.
  • In a medium size bowl, add the bread crumbs, herbs, parmesan cheese, salt and pepper. Slowly spoon in the tomato, onion and garlic mixture. You want some of the juice, but maybe not all of it. Just toss the vegetables and bread together until the bread is moistened but not "soggy.".
  • Chicken -- Stuff the chicken with as much stuffing as possible and secure with a toothpick if necessary. Season well with salt and pepper.
  • Grill -- On a medium heat grill, add the chicken and grill on both sides until you get good grill marks. Brush each side a couple of times with the remaining Italian dressing. If the chicken gets too brown before it is finished cooking, just add a piece of foil on the grill and place the chicken on that.
  • Cheese -- The last few minutes, top each breast with a slice of the mozzarella cheese and grill until it is melted and "gooey.".
  • Serve -- Just enjoy a great summertime recipe. Serve with some grilled asparagus and maybe a nice salad.
  • Prep Time does NOT include marinating time.
