Good recipe for chicken? (no onions)?!
Answers: I love to cook, and I am always wanting new ways to cook regular everyday foods. Any ideas for chicken?
Here are some of my favorites:
This is to die for chicken pot pie. I got it from one of my answers friends...obviously, take out the onions but I always add the spices:
Chicken Pot Pie
1 cup chopped onions
1 cup chopped celery
1 1/2 cups diced potatoes
1 (16 ounce) bag frozen mixed vegetables, thawed
1/2 cup margarine or butter
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 cups chicken broth
1 cup half-and-half
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
4 cups chopped cooked chicken
2 (15 ounce) packages refrigerated pie crusts
Saute potato in margarine for 5 minutes in a dutch oven. Add onion, celery and thawed frozen vegetables. Saute for another 10 minutes. Add flour gradually to the sauteed mixture, stirring constantly for one minute.
Allow refrigerated pie crust to come to room temperature. Meanwhile, combine half and half and chicken broth. Gradually stir into the vegetable mixture. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until thickened and bubbly. Stir in salt and pepper. Add chopped chicken, stirring well. Add additional salt and pepper to taste.
Preheat oven to 400°.
Spray nonstick spray into a 9 X 12 casserole. Place pie crust on the bottom of the pan to cover, cutting to fit. Pour chicken/vegetable mixture over the pie crust, then top with the remaining pie crust. Cut vents into the top crust.
Bake for 40 minutes or until crust is golden brown. Enjoy!

? cup water
Sprinkle chicken with salt, pepper, and paprika. Place in crockpot. Mix soup, water, mushrooms, and sour cream. Pour on chicken breasts. Sprinkle with paprika. Cover and cook low for 6-8 hours. Serve over rice or noodles.
I love pasta. Here is a great pasta recipe with chicken:
Chicken Scampi
1/2 cup butter
1/4 cup olive oil
1 tsp dried parsley
1 tsp dried basil
1/4 tsp dried oregano
3 cloves garlic, minced
3/4 tsp salt
1 Tbsp lemon juice
4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves, sliced lengthwise into thirds
In a skillet heat the butter and olive oil on medium high heat until butter is melted. Add parsley, basil, oregano, garlic and salt and mix together. Stir in lemon juice.
Then add chicken pieces and saute for 3 minutes or until white. Lower the heat and cook for about 10-15 mintues or until chicken is cooked through. More butter can be added if needed. Serve chicken over hot angel hair, or other pasta and pour some of the sauce over it all.
A great side for any of the above:
Caesar Coleslaw
1 pkg pre-made coleslaw
1/4-1/2 cup shredded parmesean cheese
1/2 pkg caesar croutons
1 bottle creamy caesar dressing
Toss first three ingredients together. Add enough dressing to coat. It's even good the next day!
I hope you find something that looks good!
you can fried ie with green peppers, mushrooms and carrots, with some soy sauce and olive oil, like a stir fry
INGREDIENTS
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
6 slices Swiss cheese
4 slices cooked ham
1/2 cup seasoned bread crumbs
DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Coat a 7x11 inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
Pound chicken breasts to 1/4 inch thickness.
Sprinkle each piece of chicken on both sides with salt and pepper. Place 1 cheese slice and 1 ham slice on top of each breast. Roll up each breast, and secure with a toothpick. Place in baking dish, and sprinkle chicken evenly with bread crumbs.
Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until chicken is no longer pink. Remove from oven, and place 1/2 cheese slice on top of each breast. Return to oven for 3 to 5 minutes, or until cheese has melted. Remove toothpicks, and serve immediately.
OVEN FRIED CHICKEN
1 tbsp. butter
2/3 c. Bisquick
1 1/2 tsp. paprika
1 1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
1 cut up frying chicken
Melt butter in rectangular pan 13 x 9 x 2, in oven. Mix Bisquick, paprika, salt and pepper. Coat chicken. Place skin sides down in pan. Bake 35 minutes. Turn chicken, bake about 15 minutes or until done.
If you can bone it out...seasoning it and frying it in a grill pan (no oil) for 20 minutes on each side without touching it will make an incredible chicken!
A good and easy recipe for chicken (with no onions) is Brown Sugar Chicken. It is kind of like a teriyaki style and is super easy to make.

Method

This is my favourite chicken, and is so quick and simple:
500g chicken breast, sliced
2 cloves garlic
1 cup mushrooms, chopped
1 cup semi-dried tomatoes, chopped
1/2 cup red or green capsicum/pepper, chopped
1 tub light cream
cooked fettucine
Brown chicken breast in pan, add garlic, mushrooms, tomatoes, peppers and cook until soft. stir through cream and simmer for 2 mins, then serve with fettucine.
Obviously you can add or take whatever vegetables you like, but the semi-dried tomatoes give the sauce the lovely flavour
Chx Breast
Spreadable flavored cheese (garlic/herb really good) or can use cream cheese
tomatoe, thinly sliced
basil and/or spinach leaves
2 tblsp. olive oil
-pound out chx breast starting in the center and moving outwards, so not to break up the chx. Easier clean up if put in between 2 sheets of plastic wrap. Once chicken is about .5 to .75 thin, spread cheese over whole breast then a layer of tomatoes and basil/spinach leaves. Tightly roll up chx. In a pre-heated skillet pan, pour olive oil and put the seem side of the chx roll down. Brown all four sides put make sure seal the seem first. Finish chx in pre-heated 375 degree oven. Usually, takes appx. 8-10 minutes for chx to cook all the way through, cheese to melt, and tomatoes to warm.
Can also bread the raw chx roll with italian bread crumbs before pan frying to get even more texture. Dip raw roll into a pan of flour, then dip in a pan of egg batter, and roll in italian bread crumbs. Pan fry, finish in the oven, and enjoy.
