Tuscan Braised Chicken Breasts Recipes

CREAMY TUSCAN CHICKEN

Steps:

• In a skillet over medium heat, heat oil. Add chicken and season with salt, pepper, and oregano. Cook until golden and no longer pink, 8 minutes per side. Remove from skillet and set aside.
• In the same skillet over medium heat, melt butter. Stir in garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add cherry tomatoes and season with salt and pepper. Cook until tomatoes are beginning to burst then add spinach and cook until spinach is beginning to wilt.
• Stir in heavy cream and parmesan and bring mixture to a simmer. Reduce heat to low and simmer until sauce is slightly reduced, about 3 minutes. Return chicken to skillet and cook until heated through, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Serve with lemon wedges.

BRAISED CHICKEN BREASTS IN TASTY MIREPOIX RAGOUT

Steps:

• Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then dredge in flour until completely coated. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a Dutch oven and fry breasts until lightly browned, about 5 minutes on each side. Remove chicken from pan and set aside.
• Add remaining tablespoon of oil to the pan and saute the onions for 2 minutes. Stir in the celery and carrots and cook for about one more minute. Season with garlic, bay leaves, thyme and salt and pepper to taste. Cook for another minute.
• Deglaze the pot with white wine, stirring until nothing is stuck to the pan, then pour in the chicken broth. Simmer for 90 minutes.
• Return the chicken breasts to the pan and simmer for an additional 30 minutes. The mixture should reduce considerably by this time so check frequently to see that the chicken is covered. Spoon baste if necessary. The ragout should have a stew like consistency when finished.

NO YOLKS® TUSCAN BRAISED CHICKEN WITH NOODLES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C). Heat the oil in a nonstick skillet set over medium-high heat. Season the chicken with the salt and pepper; add to the skillet in batches and brown all over.
• Transfer the chicken to a 10 cup (2.5 L) casserole dish. Scatter the mushrooms, carrot and onion over top. Stir the sauce with the wine and drizzle over the casserole. (Casserole can be prepared up to this point and reserved, tightly covered in the refrigerator, for up to 1 day.)
• Bake, covered, for 30 minutes; uncover and bake for 30 minutes or until chicken is tender and vegetables are cooked through. Meanwhile, prepare the noodles according to package directions. Arrange the noodles in a large serving bowl and spoon over the chicken, vegetables and sauce. Garnish with parsley and Parmesan (if using).
