Lisas Easy Chicken Recipes

LISA'S EASY CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• In a medium bowl, mix the olive oil, garlic salt, parsley, chives, pepper, Old Bay Seasoning, and seasoning salt. Rub the chicken breasts with 1/2 the mixture, and place the breasts in a medium baking dish.
• Toss the green bell peppers, tomatoes, and red onion with the remaining olive oil mixture. Arrange over the chicken.
• Bake 1 hour in the preheated oven, stirring the vegetables once, until the vegetables are tender, the chicken is no longer pink, and its juices run clear.

EASY SALSA CHICKEN

Steps:

• In a large baking dish, pour a small amount of salsa on the bottom of the dish and sprinkle some corn.
• 2 . Trim off any excess fat off chicken breasts and place on top of the salsa/corn mixture in the dish.
• Pour the remaining salsa and corn over the chicken and cover with foil.
• Bake at 350 for 45 minutes
• When done, sprinkle the cheese over the chicken and place the oven on Broil and cook, uncovered, until the cheese is melted and slightly browned.

LISA'S JERK CHICKEN

Steps:

• Pour orange juice, vinegar, olive oil, soy sauce, and lime juice into a blender; add onions, Scotch bonnet chiles, garlic, sugar, thyme, allspice, salt, black pepper, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger. Pulse several times to mix ingredients, then blend until jerk marinade is pureed.
• Set 1/2 cup marinade aside in a small bowl and refrigerate. Place chicken breasts into a large nonreactive bowl and pour remaining jerk sauce over chicken; stir to coat. Refrigerate chicken in marinade 8 hours to overnight.
• Preheat grill for medium-low heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Remove chicken from marinade, discarding used marinade. Cook chicken on the preheated grill until meat is no longer pink inside, the skin is browned, and an instant-read meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of a breast, not touching bone, reads at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C), about 30 minutes. Baste chicken with reserved 1/2 cup of marinade as it cooks, turning chicken occasionally.

ULTIMATE CHICKEN SALAD RECIPE

Steps:

• Place the chicken breasts in a wide pot or pan and cover by about an inch with cold water. Season the water with salt. Optionally, you can add aromatics of your choice. Read my poached chicken recipe for more details.
• Turn the heat to medium until it reaches a gentle simmer. Then reduce the heat back to low and cover the pan. Let the chicken simmer for 8-12 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160-165 degrees Fahrenheit. Remove the chicken and let it rest for a couple of minutes. Then chill in the fridge.
• Transfer the cooled chicken to a cutting board and dice it into 1/2-inch pieces.
• Slice and dice the celery, green onion, grapes, parsley and tarragon. Add those ingredients to a mixing bowl along with the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper.
• Mix everything together until it's well combined. Let it chill in the fridge until you're ready to serve.
