Saucy Seasoned Chicken Recipes

GARLIC CREAM SAUCE OVER CHICKEN BREASTS

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Season chicken breasts with oregano, basil, salt, and black pepper.
• Cook the chicken breasts on preheated grill until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 5 to 6 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
• Melt butter with vegetable oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook and stir garlic in the butter mixture until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Stir flour through the butter mixture; cook and stir until flour is incorporated, about 1 minute more. Pour heavy cream and chicken broth into the saucepan; stir. Continue cooking until the mixture thickens, 3 to 5 minutes. Add Parmesan cheese and cream cheese to the saucepan; cook, stirring occasionally, until the cheese is melted into the sauce, about 5 minutes.
• Plate the chicken breasts. Spoon sauce over the chicken. Serve extra sauce on the side.

CHICKEN SOUVLAKI WITH TZATZIKI SAUCE

Steps:

• Combine 1/4 cup olive oil, lemon juice, 2 cloves minced garlic, oregano, and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a large resealable bag. Add chicken, coat with the marinade, squeeze out excess air, and seal the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for 2 hours.
• Mix yogurt, cucumber, 1 tablespoon olive oil, vinegar, 1 clove minced garlic, and 1 pinch salt together in a bowl. Refrigerate tzatziki sauce for flavors to blend, 1 to 2 hours.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate. Soak wooden skewers in a bowl of water for about 15 minutes.
• Remove chicken from marinade and thread onto the soaked skewers. Discard unused marinade.
• Cook the skewers on the preheated grill, turning frequently until nicely browned on all sides and chicken is no longer pink in the center, about 8 minutes per side. Serve with tzatziki sauce.

GRILLED CHICKEN WINGS WITH SEASONED BUFFALO SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat the grill to medium-high. Season the wings with salt and pepper.
• Using grill tongs, dip a wad of paper towels in oil, then carefully rub the grill grate until glossy and coated. Grill the wings, covered, flipping occasionally, until they are golden brown, crispy and completely cooked through, about 20 minutes. Keep a close eye on the grill: if there are flare-ups or the wings begin to burn, move the wings to a cooler part of the grill or reduce the heat. You don't want grill marks on the wings; just a nice and even golden-brown color.
• While the wings are cooking, make the sauce. Combine the butter and garlic in a microwave-safe bowl. Cook for about one minute in the microwave until the butter is melted. Stir in the hot sauce, salt, onion powder, chili powder and sugar. Set aside.
• Dip the cooked wings in the sauce and serve immediately. Alternatively, serve the wings plain with the sauce on the side.

BAKED CHICKEN BREAST

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F/220°C. Line a large baking sheet with foil and/or baking paper for easy clean up. Set aside.
• Mix together the spices in a small bowl.
• Place the chicken breasts between two pieces of plastic cling wrap or aluminium foil and pound them down to make them even in thickness. You can use a rolling pin if you don't own a meat mallet. This will help the chicken cook faster, more even and make for more tender chicken.
• Place the chicken on the lined baking sheet - make sure not to overlap the chicken.
• Drizzle and rub olive oil all over the chicken. Sprinkle the seasoning blend and rub all over the surface of the chicken. Try to cover as much surface area as you can with spice blend.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until cooked through. The internal temperature of the chicken breast should be at least 165°F. Cover will a piece of foil or a bowl and let rest 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!

CHICKEN DIJON

Steps:

• Pat chicken dry and season on all sides with salt and pepper.
• In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Stir in butter.
• When the butter is foamy, add the chicken cutlets to the pan. Cook until the chicken is browned on both sides and the meat reaches an internal temperature of 165° F, about 3-4 minutes per side. Do not overcrowd the pan, so brown the chicken in batches if necessary.
• Remove the chicken to a plate and set aside while you make the sauce.
• Add the sliced onion to the skillet and cook over medium-high heat until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic, parsley, thyme and rosemary and cook, stirring constantly, for 30 seconds.
• Add the chicken broth to the skillet; use a wooden spoon to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Simmer for 3-4 minutes, so that the liquid reduces by about half.
• Reduce heat to low, whisk in the cream, Dijon and honey. Cook for a few more minutes to let the sauce thicken. Taste and season with salt and pepper.
• Return chicken to the skillet; garnish with additional fresh herbs. Serve immediately.
