Good baked chicken recipe anyone???

Moms View Message Board: General Discussion Archive: Archive March 2005: Good baked chicken recipe anyone???
By Luvn29 on Tuesday, March 1, 2005 - 12:29 pm:

I have four thawed out chicken breasts (with bone) in my refrigerator and was wondering if anyone has a really good, not too complicated, baked chicken breast recipe? With or without skin.

I would have put this on the recipe page, but will have to make it soon.

Thanks!

Swiss cheese, breadcrumbs, cream of mushroom soup, butter, white wine.
Combine wine and soup- pour over chicken, lay cheese on top, sprinkle with bread crumbs and drizzle with melted butter.

Bake covered at 350 for about one hour.

Yummy, easy, and looks nice too!

That sounds sooo good Heather ,I will have to try it !
here`s another one I use often.

1 C cornflake crumbs
1 tsp.salt and pepper
1/2 C melted butter.

leave skin on chicken (I think it taste`s better)
Dip chicken in melted butter
then mix salt and pepper with cornflake crumbs
(I put it in a gallon ziplock bag).
Shake to coat chicken pieces.
Lay on a sheet pan and drizzle remaining butter over chicken pieces.
Bake uncovered for 1 hour at 350 preheated oven.

Insert goat's cheese and fresh basil under the skin and cook on a baking sheet for about an hour at 350. Olive oil, salt and pepper on the skin.

Ooh, Holly's recipe is so good! I haven't made that in a while and the last time it came out so nicely!

Baked Chicken with Orange Juice (From Joy of Cooking)

Rub the skin of each chicken breast with about a tsp. of dijon mustard and place skin side down in a roasting pan. Sprinkle some salt, pepper, a medium chopped onion and 2 Tbls. of butter (cut into small pieces) on top of the chicken and pour 1 1/2 cups of orange juice around the chicken. Bake for 30 minutes at 375 and then turn the chicken breasts over, sprinkle with 1/4 cup of brown sugar and bake another 20 minutes until done. Put the juices from the roasting pan into a small saucepan and reduce over med to high heat until it is syrupy.

Another very simple idea-crush or chop up some garlic and mix with either fresh chopped up herbs or dry herbs and some olive oil, salt and pepper. You can also add some lemon zest. spread the herb mixture under the skin of the chicken breasts and bake.

I always just use shake and bake.
You all are making me hungry.

By My2cuties on Tuesday, March 1, 2005 - 02:18 pm:

no kidding.. I may have to start dinner NOW! Sometimes when I make baked chicken I just throw things together and it always turns out so yummy and juicy. I put some Italian dressing all over my chicken breasts (or thighs) and a little a water salt and pepper, and it is so good and full of flavor. (It doesn't smell all that wonderful while cooking, but i sure tastes delicious):) Hope you find a good recipe, and...

Heather, how much of your ingredients do you use, I may have to try that recipe. sounds good.

I just had chicken for lunch! (leftover boneless skinless breasts) I cut it up, warmed it, cooked some broccoli, mixed it together and added some alfredo sauce and shredded parmesan, romano and asiago cheese (from Kraft in a canister like grate parmesan), then heated the whole thing (micro for about a minute). Yummy!!! Of course, the daycare kids thought it was gross! lol

By Hlgmom on Tuesday, March 1, 2005 - 09:58 pm:

I never really measure ...but about 1/4 cup wine- to whole can of soup. You want it to thin out but still be somewhat thick- (think coating the back of a spoon.) I use swiss slices and just cover- Breadcrumbs..just cover whole dish. Butter about 2 Tablespoons.

By Rayanne on Tuesday, March 1, 2005 - 10:17 pm:

So....what did you decide?

By Feona on Wednesday, March 2, 2005 - 07:48 am:

I just bread them with bread crumbs and egg. Fry in olive oil. Can make chiken strips this way by cutting chicken breast into strips.

Mmmmmm... lots of yummy recipes! Now if I can only get out today(snow!) I can get necessary ingredients!!!

Question: I am not a wine drinker, so I have no wine knowledge at all... With Heather's recipe which sounds delicious, is there any specific wine to use? Is it a taste that my non-wine drinking family would like? If not, are there substitutes I could use?

Also, the parmesan chicken and the others sound good as well. I've copied the recipes, as I am sure I'll end up using each one because we eat chicken all the time.

When I was smaller, my mother made the italian dressing chicken and I loved it! But I had forgotten about it so I am excited about trying it again!

Thanks so much everyone!!

Rayannne LOL I cook almost always from scratch and have tons of recipes I use all the time but you know what I STILL USE SHAKE N BAKE! LOL I k now its crazy cheap and boxed but I love the stuff!

By Pixie on Wednesday, March 2, 2005 - 03:36 pm:

just a cheap white chardonnay would be fine or even a pinot grigio - I always use what I have nothing seems to ever turn out bad!

By Fraggle on Wednesday, March 2, 2005 - 04:23 pm:

Wine does add flavor to the recipe, but you can definitely leave it out if you are not sure-just substitute with an equal amount of chicken stock-or even water. I cook with wine all the time, but I don't like to drink it-go figure.:)

By Jann on Wednesday, March 2, 2005 - 04:32 pm:

If you are cooking with wine be sure it's one you like the taste of cause cooking wine intensifies the flavor.

By Hlgmom on Wednesday, March 2, 2005 - 08:13 pm:

If you are a non wine drinker I would suggest a Pinot Grigio or a Sauvignon Blanc- both a little lighter. In terms of the flavor of the dish- I think you would still enjoy it! It does not have a "winey" taste. You could substitute broth but try it I think you will like it! If you don't want to drink whats left in a regular size bottle. Buy one of the mini ones or even a bottle of white cooking wine- usually on the vinegar aisle.

By Luvn29 on Wednesday, March 2, 2005 - 08:40 pm:

Thanks so much for all the info. Actually, this has got another topic in my head about wine. I'll post it seperately...

I made my chicken today, but had to make do with on-hand items since we were snowed in.

I crushed cornflakes, mixed in my favorite spices-garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper, rolled the chicken in butter, rolled it in the mixture, placed it in a pan and drizzled melted butter on it.

It turned out great!

Thanks so much guys!
