Microwave Romano Chicken Recipes

MICROWAVE ROMANO CHICKEN

Steps:

• Butter/grease a microwave-safe baking dish (large enough to hold 4 rolled chicken breasts).
• Season the inside of the chicken breast with salt and black pepper, then place 1 slice of Swiss cheese and 1 slice ham on top of each pounded chicken breast.
• Roll up as tightly as possible and secure with toothpicks (if necessary).
• In a small bowl combine the Parmesan cheese, paprika, garlic powder, tarragon, basil and dry breadcrumbs.
• Roll/coat the rolled chicken breast into the spice/breadcrumb mixture to coat on all sides.
• Place into a baking dish, then drizzle with melted butter.
• Cook on HIGH for about 10 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the juices run clear.

• On top of that add the zucchini, carrot, mushrooms, onion, olives and basil leaves.
• Sit the chicken on top and sprinkle the stock powder on the vegetables and the chicken and season with salt and pepper.
• Cover the dish with a lid (microwave safe) or cling wrap and cook for 40 minutes on 90% power. I use an 1100watt oven but I wouldn't worry about altering the time if yours is less powerful.

Steps:

• Take whole chicken and make diagonal slits in breast and thighs.

• Turn chicken every 10 minutes to ensure even grilling.
