Needing New Chicken Ideas?

Okay, so this first recipe is so good you should really do it. Stew loves it, mom Ras really liked it when she was hear...it is really really good. The ones after are recipes we will do again but not as a weekly event. However they are good, fun to try, and a good way to mix things up a bit.

Parmesan-Dijon Chicken

I like Dijon but I am not a huge fan but this recipe was prefect so if you aren't a mustard fan you still might like this one.

3/4 cup dry bread crumb ( I used Italian ones and I added a little extra salt to it)
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese ( I didn't bother using the expensive freshly grated kind)
1/4 cup margarine, butter, or spread ( I have made it with all of the above and the butter was the best but was the highest in calorie)
2 TB Dion mustard
6 skinless boneless chicken breast halves (about 1 and 1/2 pound)

1.) Heat Oven to 375

2.) mix bread crumbs and cheese in large plastic bag. Combine margarine and mustard. Dip the chicken in the mustard mixture . Shake chicken in the bag to coat with crumb mixture.

3.) Bake uncovered 20 to 30 minutes, turning once (I never remembered to turn them and they were fine), until cooked through.

Alfredo Chicken and Veggie Dinner

This is really unhealthy but a easy way to have a complete meal in one dish. If you don't like these veggies then you can do whatever variety you like.

2 TB butter
4 skinless boneless chicken breast halves lightly salted and peppered
1 small onion, finely chopped (1/4 cup)
1 minced garlic clove
1 cup chopped squash
1/2 canned mushrooms
1/4 tsp chicken bullion or salt
1/2 tsp basil
1 cup whipping cream
1/4 to 1/2 grated Parmesan

1.) Melt butter in 10-ich skillet over medium high heat. Cook chicken in butter until cooked through and browned on both sides. Remove chicken and set in slightly warmed though off oven to keep warm.

2.) add onion and saute until soft. add garlic, and veggies. Season to taste with basil, slat and/or bullion. Cook until they start to get tender.

3.) Add the cream and Parmesan. Cook over medium heat 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Add chicken and then pour over cooked pasta or rice. I am a pasta person myself. :o)
