Baked Chicken With Grilled Feta And Caramelized Onions Recipes

CHICKEN BREASTS WITH TOMATOES, CARAMELIZED ONIONS, AND FETA CHEESE

Steps:

• Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add onions then saute, stirring often, until golden brown and caramelized - about 15-20 minutes. Season with sea salt, to taste
• In a large grill pan, heat the other tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat and season the chicken breasts with sea salt, freshly cracked pepper, and garlic powder, to taste. Make sure the pan is nice and hot before adding the chicken. Cook for 5-6 minutes before turning over. Cook for additional 3-4 minutes to the desired degree of doneness. Remove from heat to a serving platter. Make sure to let the chicken rest for 3-5 minutes before slicing so it stays nice and juicy. Slice into thin strips at an angle once it has rested.
• In the same skillet as the onions, add the grape tomatoes then season with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the tomatoes are soft. Add the caramelized onions and minced garlic, stirring frequently for 60 seconds. Pour the tomatoes and onions on top of the sliced chicken, drizzle with balsamic vinegar. Top with feta cheese and fresh basil. Enjoy!

BAKED CHICKEN WITH GRILLED FETA AND CARAMELIZED ONIONS

Steps:

• Wash chicken breast fillets and pat dry, cut in half.
• In a small pan heat butter and oil till liquid, set aside.
• Take a large, heavy based, frying pan, heat and add 2 tbsp fat.
• Fry chicken on a high heat until it has turned from its original rosy colour to white on both sides, remove from pan immediately, conserve the fat.
• With a mortar and pestle take the rosemary, the salt, both types of peppercorns and the flour and crush everything together so you have a fine powder with a few sprigs of rosemary remaining, set aside.
• Take the hot water and add the stock cube (use stock if you have any left from another day), add Tabasco, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, vinager and sugar set aside.
• Heat oven to 350°F and place the remaining fat in an earthenware dish in the oven on a high shelf.
• Re-heat the fat in the frying pan and when hot fry the onions on a medium heat until they "relax".
• Turn the heat up to high and add 1/4 of the liquid, reduce until there is no liquid left, add another 1/4 of the liquid and repeat the process, finally add the remaining liquid and reduce again until all the liquid has evaporated, leave on a low heat for another 5 minutes, cover and set aside.
• Take fried chicken and sprinkle with the flour mixture on one side.
• Take the earthenware dish out of the oven and place the dusted side down in the fat, sprinkle the remaining mixture over the chicken.
• Bake for 15 minutes (turn halfway).
• Take crumbled feta cheese and crumble over the chicken.
• Grill until the feta cheese has "set", so that its dry and slightly golden (feta does NOT melt, so don't sit around waiting for it to melt 'cus you'll get a very dry chicken).
• To serve: re-heat the onions that have been steeping in their juices, and set up 3 pieces of chicken each with a"dollop" of onions in the centre.
• Garnish with a sprig of rosemary (if you must garnish things).
