Dilly Beloved Chicken Bake Recipes

LEMON-DILL CHICKEN CAKES

Steps:

• Combine the chicken, panko, mayonnaise, egg, dill, mustard, lemon zest and 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper in a bowl. Gently form into eight 3/4-inch-thick patties, then freeze until firm, about 10 minutes.
• Sprinkle some panko on a plate. Coat the patties on both sides in the panko, pressing gently to adhere.
• Heat the butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the patties and cook until golden, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer to paper towels to drain and season with salt. Serve with lemon wedges.

OLIVE-MOZZARELLA CHICKEN BAKE

Steps:

• Set oven to 350 degrees.
• In a plastic bag, combine flour, salt and pepper and coat the chicken pieces (shake off any excess flour).
• In a frypan heat the olive oil with butter.
• Brown the coated chicken pieces on all sides.
• Place into prepared 2-quart shallow baking dish.
• In the same frypan, saute the onion and garlic in the same drippings until tender.
• Stir in mushrooms, pasta sauce and olives; bring to a simmer for 5-6 minutes, stirring with a wooden spoon occasionally.
• Pour the sauce mixture over the chicken pieces.
• Top with mozza cheese.
• Bake for about 30 minutes, or until chicken is done.

DILLY CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
• Place the chicken pieces into the prepared baking dish. Pour the mushroom soup (undiluted), milk, and sour cream over the chicken. Season with onion soup mix and dill. No need to stir.
• Bake for 1 1/2 hours in the preheated oven, or until the chicken is falling off the bone. The longer you can cook it, the better it will taste.

CRISPY SKIN CHICKEN WITH DILL AND GARLIC SAUCE

Steps:

• Place racks in upper and lower thirds of oven; preheat to 325°F. Pat chicken halves dry with paper towels and season generously all over with salt. Arrange, skin side up, on 2 wire racks set inside 2 baking sheets so that you have 2 chicken halves on each rack. Roast chickens, rotating baking sheets top to bottom and front to back halfway through, until just golden and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the breasts registers 150°F, 45-50 minutes.
• Meanwhile, pulse garlic in a food processor until finely chopped. Heat 1 cup oil in a small saucepan over medium until shimmering. Add garlic and cook, stirring constantly, until softened and slightly darker, about 1 minute. Transfer to a small bowl. Stir in Aleppo-style pepper and 1 1/2 tsp. salt. Set garlic oil aside for serving.
• Fit a large Dutch oven or other heavy pot with deep-fry thermometer. Heat remaining 2 cups vegetable oil over medium-high until thermometer registers 350°F. Fry shallots, stirring often, until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Using a fine-mesh sieve or spider, transfer shallots to paper towels to drain; season with salt. Remove pot from heat if chicken hasn't finished roasting yet.
• As soon as chickens are done, remove from oven and lightly dab with paper towels to remove as much moisture from the underside as possible (this will prevent them from spattering too much when you put them in the hot oil). Reheat shallot oil to 350°F if needed. Working with 1 half at a time and maintaining oil temperature between batches, fry chickens, skin side down, until skin is crisp and deeply browned, 6-8 minutes. Transfer to clean wire racks as you go; season lightly with salt.
• Meanwhile, combine potatoes and 2 Tbsp. salt in another large pot and pour in cold water to cover by 1". Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until potatoes are very tender when pierced with the tip of a paring knife, 10-15 minutes, depending on size of potatoes. Drain and return potatoes to the same pot. Gently press down on potatoes to break up slightly. Add 1/3 cup reserved garlic oil, season with salt, and toss to combine.
• Transfer potatoes to a small platter. Drizzle with some more garlic oil. Cut chicken halves into pieces and arrange on a large platter. Drizzle chicken with some garlic oil, then sprinkle dill and fried shallots over. Serve with any remaining garlic oil alongside.

SOUR CREAM CHICKEN BAKE

Steps:

• Cook chicken to your liking (I usually just boil) and cool.
• Separate or cut chicken into bite size pieces, layering them in an ungreased 8X10 or medium casserole dish.
• Salt light lightly if desired.
• Combine sour cream and undiluted soup in a small bowl, and spread over chicken.
• In a separate bowl microwave or otherwise melt butter and crush crackers into it, stirring to coat.
• Layer buttered crumbs on top of sour cream/soup mixture.

BAKED LEMON-DILL CHICKEN BREASTS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Set chicken breasts into a shallow casserole dish and brush 1 tablespoon honey onto each breast.
• Zest 1 lemon, then cut in half. Slice remaining lemons. Squeeze juice from 1 lemon over the tops of the chicken breasts and sprinkle with lemon zest. Combine dill, oregano, basil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a small bowl and sprinkle spices on top of the chicken. Cover chicken breasts with lemon slices and set 1 tablespoon butter on each piece of chicken breast.
• Bake until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 40 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
