Chicken Marsala

This is my take on the famous meal Chicken Marsala.  It was wonderful and very easy to put together.

 

 

 

Chicken Marsala

 

To make Chicken Marsala put 2-4 pounds of chicken breast into a Dutch oven.   I topped it with salt, pepper, chopped onion and garlic.  Then put a can of tomatoes with Italian seasoning (with garlic, basil or green chilies), cup of sweet red or white wine, and 1 cup of sliced mushrooms on top of the chicken.  I then sprinkled on top of everything paprika, chili pepper powder and some more Italian seasoning.  You can add any other seasonings you like.

 

Let it cook on 325 degrees for a few hours or until it is 165 degrees internally.   You can add cheese to this wonderful chicken dinner to make it exceptional.  Let cool and serve over rice or noodles.  Chicken Marsala is great reheated the next day.

 

It will be wonderful.  Hope you enjoy it.

 

 

 

 

Chicken Pot Pie

This Chicken Pot pie recipe makes a wonderful comfort food for lazy Sundays. It is loaded with vegetables and it is really great when they can all be from the garden.


Chicken Pot Pie

I started the chicken pot pie by sautéing onion and jalapeno. Then cut up cooked or leftover Chicken into bite size pieces. In a large bowl I mixed chicken, onions, jalapeno, green beans, corn, carrots, peas, and broccoli, muchrooms and any other vegetable you would like to add.

Then add some cream soup of your liking. (I used broccoli potato cheese soup and cream of mushroom). If you use condensed soup do not add any water or milk. A couple of cans should be enough. I will add some shredded cheese whatever flavor you like. Then pour the mixture in a pie plate, sprinkle 2 tbs of four or cornstarch, and I will put a layer shredded cheese on the top of ingredients under the crust. cover with crescent rolls, biscuits, or a pie crust. Slit some holes for steam to escape if you use pie crust.

Bake the chicken pot pie for 40 minutes on 350 degrees or until the crescent rolls, biscuits or pie crust is lightly golden brown and heating through.

Enjoy this great Chicken Pot Pie

Chicken Fried Steak

Chicken Fried Steak is a great Sunday dinner. It is crunchy and has a wonderful flavor. The recipe is easy and I baked it instead of frying it which makes it a little healthier.

Chicken Fried Steak

Pre Heat oven to 350 degrees.

I started by cutting up a sirloin round steak into portions about the size of you palm. I then took a mallet and pounded out the steaks on both sides. I seasoned them and set them aside until I was ready to coat them.

I used one bowl for an egg wash which had in it 2 eggs, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, and hot sauce.

The second bowl had flour, corn flakes, Cajun seasoning, chipotle seasoning, garlic powder, paprika, Italian seasoning, sriracha seasoning, and salt. A few shakes of each will work.

I took the steak and put it into the egg wash then in the flour corn flake mixture until it is coated completely. I sprayed the bottom of a glass bake dish with nonstick spray and put the steaks in the dish along with a few pats of butter around the steaks.

They went into the oven for 35-45 minutes. The inner temperature of the steak should be 140 – 160 degrees.

Gravy

While the chicken fried steaks are cooking I made up some gravy for them. I took some sliced mushrooms, a garlic clove, sliced onions, Worcestershire sauce, steak sauce, and butter. Cooked them on low heat until the onion is translucent.

I then added 2 tsp at a time of Wondra flour and stirred until it absorbed all the butter and juice. I then put in ½ cup of half and half. Stir that until it is smooth. When that comes to a boil I turned down and let cook for a few minutes. After a few minutes it will start to thicken and if not I added another spoonful until it was as thick as I needed. If it is too thick you will need to add some more half and half.

Let the chicken fried steak cool for a few minutes before serving when it comes out of the oven. Top with Gravy and enjoy.

BBQ Shredded Chicken

 This is a very easy recipe that I put in the crockpot before work and it was done when I walked through the door after work.  It is tangy and delicious. 

 

 

BBQ Shredded Chicken

 

 

Put whatever amount of chicken breast in a crockpot you desire. Put on top of it some peppers, onions and a jalapeno. Add to the chicken and vegetables some juice. I used some Tomato and Green Chili juice but you can add chicken bouillon or just water.  You can add whatever seasoning you like.  Some ideas are Italian Seasoning, paprika, sage, tyme, chili powder, chipolte powder, or onion powder.  If you like it hot add some red pepper flakes but not too many or it will be too hot to enjoy.

 

Cook on low in the crockpot for at least 4-8 hours.  The chicken is so tender by cooking it this way.

 Shred it up and add some BBQ sauce of your choice, hot sauce, steak sauce in whatever amounts and combinations you like.




BBQ Sauce Recipe

I made slaw to top them by combining shredded Cabbage and Miracle Whip.  A couple of spoonful’s will work.  Add 1 TBS olive oil, 2 tsp of cerlery salt, 1 tsp pepper, 1 tsp chili powder and 1 tsp salt. 

I used some bagel thins for a bun topped it with BBQ Shredded Chicken, BBQ Sauce, and Cole Slaw on top.  You can omit any of the above ingredients and just have a BBQ Shredded Chicken Sandwich by itself.

Enjoy

 

 

 

 

Crispy Chicken

This crispy chicken is baked in the oven and is so moist yet crunchy on the outside.  I used a rub which was very spicy and it was still there when we ate the chicken.  It is a great alternative to fried chicken.






Crispy Chicken

The rub I created was made of about 4 Tbs of each of the following ingredients except salt for 3-5 pounds of chicken.  Paprika, chili powder, garlic power, oregano, ground rosemary and tyme, Tai chili powder, poultry seasoning, celery salt, black pepper, Chipotle seasoning, and no salt Mexican seasoning.  I put in only 1Tbs of salt.

I rubbed the chicken with all the spice that I mixed up.  I rubbed it well on the both side.

I put the chicken in the oven and baked the chicken.  It is the heat of the oven that makes it crispy chicken so frying is not needed.

Bake on 350 degrees for about 60 minutes until the meat is 170 degrees.  During the last 20 minutes of cooking you can add a sauce of your choice to the chicken.  I added bbq sauce to the crispy chicken and it was out of this world. 

The Crispy chicken recipe was delicious and the skin was crunchy like it was coated but I did not.

Enjoy
