Bravo Italian Chicken For Two Recipes

BRAVO BALSAMIC CHICKEN WITH ROASTED GREEN BEANS & HERBY POTATOES

Steps:

• • Adjust rack to top position (top and middle positions for 4 servings) and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Wash and dry produce. • Cut potatoes into ½-inch-thick wedges. Peel and mince or grate garlic. Trim green beans if necessary. Pick rosemary leaves from stems; mince leaves until you have 1 tsp (2 tsp for 4).
• • Toss potatoes on one side of a baking sheet with a drizzle of oil, half the garlic, half the Italian Seasoning (you'll use the rest later), salt, and pepper. (For 4 servings, spread potatoes out across entire sheet.) • Roast on top rack for 10 minutes (you'll add more to the sheet then).
• • Once potatoes have roasted 10 minutes, remove sheet from oven. Carefully toss green beans on empty side with a drizzle of oil, salt, and pepper. (For 4 servings, leave potatoes roasting and toss green beans on a second sheet; roast on middle rack.) • Return to top rack until browned and tender, 12-15 minutes.
• • Meanwhile, pat chicken* dry with paper towels and season all over with remaining Italian Seasoning, salt, and pepper. • Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, 3-5 minutes per side. • Turn off heat; transfer chicken to a cutting board to rest.
• • Heat a drizzle of oil in pan used for chicken over medium heat. Add minced rosemary and remaining garlic. Cook, stirring, until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. • Stir in vinegar; simmer until syrupy, 30 seconds. • Stir in stock concentrates, ¼ cup water, and ½ tsp sugar. (For 4 servings, use 1⁄3 cup water and 1 tsp sugar.) Simmer until thickened, 3-5 minutes. • Remove from heat and stir in 1 TBSP butter until melted. Season with salt and pepper.
• • Thinly slice chicken crosswise. • Divide chicken, green beans, and potatoes between plates. Drizzle chicken with sauce and serve.

SIMPLE ITALIAN CHICKEN

Steps:

• In a shallow bowl, combine Parmesan cheese, oregano, parsley, garlic salt and pepper. Dip chicken breasts in melted butter, then coat with Parmesan mixture. Place in a greased 9-in. square baking dish. Drizzle with any remaining butter. Bake, uncovered, at 425° for 15-20 minutes or until the chicken juices run clear. Serve with brussels sprouts if desired.

EASY ITALIAN CHICKEN II

Steps:

• To Marinate: Pour salad dressing into a large, resealable plastic bag. Add chicken breasts, seal bag and shake to coat. Place in refrigerator for at least 1 hour or overnight (the longer you marinate, the more taste the chicken will absorb).
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Remove chicken from bag, discarding remaining marinade. Place chicken in a lightly greased 9x13 inch baking dish and bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 1 hour, or until chicken is cooked through and juices run clear. Note: Turn chicken occasionally while baking.

CHICKEN SCALLOPINI

Steps:

• In a small bowl, stir together the garlic and butter until well combined. Set aside. Place a chicken breast half on a work surface with the thick side facing to the right (if you're right-handed), and place your left hand down on the chicken breast. Using a very sharp knife, carefully cut the chicken breast from the thick side to about 1/2 inch from the edge of the thin side, in a horizontal cut. Open the cut chicken breast and spread it out like an open book. Using a meat mallet, gently pound the butterflied chicken breast out until it's an even thickness.
• Place the flour into a shallow dish, and dredge each chicken breast on both sides with flour. Melt the garlic butter in a large skillet over medium heat until it stops foaming, and cook each chicken breast until golden brown on both sides, 6 to 8 minutes per side. Sprinkle each breast with salt and pepper. Remove the chicken breasts to a platter, and keep warm.
• Cook and stir the mushrooms in the same skillet as the chicken until the mushrooms have absorbed the remaining butter in the skillet and have begun to turn brown at the edges. Stir in capers, lemon juice, white wine, and chicken demi-glace, and stir to combine. Reduce to a simmer. Adjust salt and pepper again, and stir the parsley into the sauce.
• Remove the chicken breasts to plates, and serve the sauce over the chicken. Garnish each serving with a lemon slice.
