Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 25

4 chicken breasts
1 large egg
3 tbsp plain (all-purpose flour (replace with gluten free flour blend if needed))
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1/2 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp dried thyme
1/2 tsp paprika
1/4 tsp garlic salt
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp olive oil
1 onion (peeled and sliced)
2 cloves garlic (peeled and minced)
1/2 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp paprika
1 cup (160g) sun dried tomatoes (I like the bright red one from the deli counter)
1 red bell pepper (de-seeded and sliced)
1 tbsp tomato puree ((paste))
1/3 cup (90ml) white wine
1 cup (240ml) chicken stock ((use bouillon for gluten free))
pinch of salt and pepper
1/3 cup (90ml) double (heavy) cream
1/2 packed cup (50g) parmesan cheese (grated)
3 packed cups (90g) fresh baby spinach
1 tbsp chopped parsley

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 160C/320F. Trim the chicken breasts to remove any fatty parts.
  • Whisk the egg lightly in a shallow bowl.
  • In a separate shallow bowl, mix together the flour, salt, pepper, oregano, thyme, paprika and garlic salt.
  • Heat 2 tbsp of the olive oil in a large frying pan (skillet) on a medium-to-high heat.
  • Dip the chicken breasts in the egg, then dredge in the flour mixture.
  • Place the chicken in the pan and fry on both sides until golden.
  • Take the chicken out of the pan and place on a tray in the oven for 10 minutes to finish cooking whilst you make the sauce.
  • Add the oil to the pan and heat on a medium heat.
  • Add the onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until they start to soften.
  • Add the garlic, oregano, paprika, sun dried tomatoes, red pepper and tomato puree. Cook for 2 minutes, moving around the pan with a spatula.
  • Next pour in the wine and allow to bubble for 2 minutes,
  • Now add the chicken stock, salt and pepper. Bring the boil, then simmer for 5 minutes.
  • Add the cream, parmesan and the spinach to the sauce and stir and cook for a couple of minutes until the spinach wilts.
  • Remove the chicken from the oven. Check it's done (insert a knife into the fattest piece of one of the chicken breasts - it should no longer be pink) and place in the pan with the sauce and cook for another couple of minutes.
  • Serve topped with a sprinkling of fresh parsley. Tastes great with pasta, courgetti (zoodles), rice or saute potatoes.

TUSCAN ROASTED CHICKEN AND VEGETABLES



Tuscan Roasted Chicken and Vegetables image

Provided by Ellie Krieger

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h5m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

6 Roma tomatoes (about 1 pound)
3 medium zucchini (about 1/2 pound each)
1 bulb fennel
3 tablespoons oil, divided
3/4 teaspoons salt, divided
4 cloves garlic, finely minced
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1 tablespoon lemon juice
4 chicken breast halves skinless, bone-in (about 2 1/2 pounds)
Freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon fresh chopped rosemary leaves or 1 teaspoon dried

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Cut the tomatoes lengthwise into quarters and remove the seeds. Trim the zucchini and cut it in half crosswise and then cut each piece in half lengthwise once if the piece is thin and twice if it is thicker, so that the pieces are relatively uniform.
  • Remove the outermost layer of the fennel bulb and discard. Cut the bulb in half so that each half retains part of the stem end. Cut each half into 8 thin wedges so each wedge is held together by a little piece of stem.
  • Put the vegetables into a large baking pan. Toss them with 2 tablespoons oil and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Arrange the chicken pieces in the pan with the vegetables.
  • In a small bowl combine 1 tablespoon of oil, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, the garlic, lemon zest and lemon juice. Rub the mixture into the chicken in the pan. Season with a few turns of pepper.
  • Roast in the oven for 30 minutes, then give the vegetables a stir and add the rosemary. Cook for about 20 to 30 minutes more until the chicken is done and the vegetable are tender and beginning to brown.
  • Yield: 4 servings (A serving is one piece of chicken and 1 1/2 cups of vegetables)

BAKED CHICKEN WITH POTATOES, CHERRY TOMATOES AND HERBS



Baked Chicken With Potatoes, Cherry Tomatoes and Herbs image

For this simple bake of chicken, potatoes and tomatoes, Julia Moskin borrowed a technique from the Italian island of Ischia, where rosemary, fennel and other herbs grow wild in the hills. Because the island was formed by volcanic activity (Pompeii is just under 20 miles away), it has natural hot springs, and the sand on some of its beaches is as hot as 350 degrees. When cooking fuel was scarce and expensive, the islanders learned to use the sand as a heat source for cooking. Wrapping the ingredients tightly and subjecting them to steady heat produces a succulent, aromatic dish. If you prefer to brown the ingredients, take the final step of uncovering the pan.

Categories     dinner, lunch, roasts, main course

Time 4h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 (3- to 4-pound) chicken, cut up, or 3 to 4 pounds bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon rosemary leaves (from about 2 sprigs)
Kosher salt and black pepper
2 small dried red chiles, crumbled, or 1/2 teaspoon red-pepper flakes
2 to 3 pounds large Yukon Gold potatoes, quartered
12 ounces cherry or grape tomatoes
1 large yellow onion, quartered and thickly sliced
1/4 cup dry white wine
4 to 6 basil sprigs, plus 2 tablespoons finely shredded leaves, for garnish

Steps:

  • Pull any lumps of fat off the chicken and discard. In a bowl, combine chicken, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1/2 tablespoon rosemary, 2 teaspoons salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper and the chiles. Mix and set aside, at least 30 minutes at room temperature or up to 8 hours in the refrigerator.
  • Heat oven to 450 degrees. In a 9-by-13-inch baking dish or a large ovenproof skillet with a lid, combine the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil and 1/2 tablespoon rosemary, potatoes, tomatoes, onion and a generous sprinkling of salt and pepper. Toss and spread out evenly in the pan. Arrange chicken pieces on top, skin-side up. Add the wine, pouring along the edges of the pan, and place basil sprigs on top. Cover tightly, and bake for 30 minutes.
  • Remove chicken from the oven and turn the oven temperature to 475 degrees. (Use the convection feature if you have it.) Or heat the broiler and arrange oven rack about 8 inches from the heat. Return uncovered pan to oven and cook until chicken skin is browned, cooking liquid is reduced and vegetables are very soft, 10 to 15 minutes more.
  • Discard basil sprigs. Garnish with shredded basil and serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of colorful cherry tomatoes for a visually appealing dish.
  • To easily pop the cherry tomatoes, score an "x" on the bottom of each one before roasting.
  • Don't overcrowd the baking sheet when roasting the tomatoes; give them enough space to blister and caramelize.
  • Use a good quality olive oil for both the tomatoes and the chicken; it will add flavor and richness to the dish.
  • Season the chicken generously with salt and pepper before cooking; this will help develop flavor and prevent it from becoming bland.
  • If you don't have a grill, you can cook the chicken in a grill pan over medium heat.
  • Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing; this will help the juices redistribute and prevent them from running out.
  • Serve the chicken with the roasted tomatoes, a simple green salad, and crusty bread for a complete meal.

Conclusion:

Tuscan chicken with popped cherry tomatoes is a flavorful and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion.
