Chicken Blt Recipes

GRILLED CHICKEN BLT WRAPS

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate. Season chicken with salt and pepper.
• Cook chicken and corn on the preheated grill until chicken is no longer pink in the center and juices run clear and corn is tender, 5 to 7 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the chicken breasts should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove from heat and allow to cool enough to handle, about 5 minutes. Cut corn kernels from the cobs. Slice chicken into 1/2-inch pieces.
• Combine chicken, corn, lettuce, bacon, avocado, tomatoes, and onion in a mixing bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Add ranch dressing and mix well.
• To assemble, place 2/3 cup of the mixture on the bottom 1/3 of a tortilla. Fold in the sides and roll tight. Continue with remaining tortillas.

BLT CHICKEN SALAD

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine the first 5 ingredients; mix well. Cover and refrigerate until serving. Place salad greens in a large bowl. Sprinkle with tomatoes, chicken and bacon; garnish with eggs. Drizzle with dressing.

CHICKEN BLT SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Heat oil in 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken in oil 15 to 20 minutes, turning once, until juice is no longer pink when centers of thickest pieces are cut.
• Spread dressing on cut sides of buns. Layer chicken, lettuce, tomato and bacon on bottoms of buns. Top with tops of buns.

FRIED CHICKEN BLT MELT

Steps:

• For the honey mustard sauce: Mix together the mustard, honey and mayonnaise in a small bowl and refrigerate until ready to use.
• For the fried chicken BLT melt: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with foil.
• Remove the poached chicken from the refrigerator and let come to room temperature.
• Lay the bacon slices on the prepared baking sheet and bake until crisp, about 20 minutes. Drain on a paper-towel-lined plate.
• Add 1 1/2 inches of oil to a high-sided cast-iron skillet (making sure you are below halfway) and heat until a deep-fry thermometer inserted in the oil registers 375 degrees F. While waiting for the oil to heat, toast the buns in the still-warm oven.
• Whisk together the flour, salt, garlic powder, paprika and black pepper in a baking dish. In a separate baking dish, whisk together the buttermilk and hot sauce. Slice each chicken breast in half horizontally. Dredge the chicken through the buttermilk, letting any excess drip off, then through the flour. Carefully place in the hot oil and fry until golden and crisp, 1 to 2 minutes on each side. Remove to a paper-towel-lined plate to drain. Cover the chicken pieces immediately with the cheese slices so they can begin to melt.
• Spread the cut sides of the buns with the honey mustard sauce. Add 2 pieces of fried chicken to each bottom bun, and top with 2 pieces of bacon, a piece of lettuce, a slice of tomato and more sauce if desired. Sandwich the buns together and enjoy.

CHICKEN BLT WRAPS WITH AIOLI

Steps:

• In small bowl, beat aioli ingredients with wire whisk. Spread on each tortilla, leaving 2-inch border at bottom of each.
• Arrange 2 lettuce leaves on each tortilla, leaving 2-inch border at bottom. Evenly top each with chicken, tomatoes and bacon bits.
• Fold bottom edge of each tortilla up, and roll tightly. Secure, if desired, with toothpick, foil or waxed paper.

• Spread mayonnaise on one side of the 4 slices of bread. Layer chicken slices, Swiss cheese, lettuce, tomato, and bacon, in that order, over 2 slices of bread. Place the remaining 2 bread slices on the top, mayonnaise side down.
• Heat a panini press over medium-high heat and coat with cooking spray. Place sandwiches inside. Cook until heated through and the cheese starts to melt, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Cut panini in half and serve immediately.

BLT CHICKEN SOUP

Steps:

• Place the chicken, wine, lemon peel, onion and 1 bay leaf in a small pot. Add about 1 quart of water or enough to cover the top of the chicken meat, bring to a low boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer and gently poach until cooked through, about 15 minutes. Cool the chicken until it is easy to handle, then dice or shred. Strain and reserve about 5 cups of the poaching liquid.
• Trim the leeks and halve lengthwise, then cut into 1-inch half-moons, wash in the sink or large bowl filled with cold water. Dry the leeks on a clean kitchen towel and reserve.
• Heat about 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, 2 turns of the pan, over medium-high heat. Add the bacon and cook until crisp at the edges, 3 minutes, drain off fat. Cook's Note: If there's more than a couple of tablespoons in the pot, then add 1 bay leaf, carrots, celery, leeks, tomatoes, salt, pepper, and thyme. Cook 12 to 15 minutes covered, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are tender and tomatoes burst. Add the cooked chicken, stock and reserved poaching liquid to the soup, heat through then cool completely and cover, store for make-ahead meal.
• To reheat the soup: Place the soup in a saucepan and bring to a boil, then add the pasta and cook to al dente, stir in the fresh herb of your choice and serve. If the soup is too thick, add a little water.
