OATMEAL CHICKEN

Oatmeal Chicken image

This recipe was given to me by a friend many years ago. Her favorite is bone-in chicken, while mine is boneless, skinless breast. Try it both ways and see which you prefer. My family, friends, relatives...well everyone I know tries to wrest an invitation to dinner when they know this chicken is on the menu. It smells wonderful...

Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

8 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (5-6oz each)
1 c old fashioned oats
1/2 c parmesan cheese (in shaker jar)
1 tsp dried thyme
1 stick salted butter
1 tsp freshly minced garlic

Steps:

1. Melt butter over low heat; add garlic and stir.
2. In a pie plate, mix oatmeal, Parmesan and thyme. When mixture runs out, mix more as needed; doubling the ingredients does not seem to work as well.
3. Rinse and dry chicken breasts; trim any visible fat.
4. Dip chicken in butter to coat; then press into the oatmeal mixture until coated. Repeat with remaining breasts.
5. Place coated breasts in a prepared casserole dish or baking pan; allow to rest for 10 minutes.
6. Drizzle remaining butter evenly over the breasts and bake at 350F for 20-25 minutes.
7. Serve hot, with spinach mashed potatoes and steamed vegetable medley or orange-glazed carrots.

Tips:

Choose the right oatmeal. Steel-cut oats are the best choice for this recipe because they have a chewy texture and hold their shape well. If you don't have steel-cut oats, you can use rolled oats, but they will cook more quickly so you may need to adjust the cooking time.
Use a large pot. This recipe makes a lot of oatmeal, so be sure to use a large pot that can hold at least 8 cups of liquid.
Don't overcook the oatmeal. Oatmeal is best when it is cooked until it is just tender, but not mushy. Overcooked oatmeal will be gummy and unpleasant to eat.
Season the oatmeal to taste. You can add salt, pepper, and other spices to the oatmeal to taste. You can also add sweet ingredients like sugar, honey, or maple syrup.
Serve the oatmeal with your favorite toppings. Oatmeal is a versatile dish that can be served with a variety of toppings. Some popular toppings include milk, yogurt, fruit, nuts, and seeds.

Conclusion:

Oatmeal chicken is a hearty and flavorful dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy meal, give oatmeal chicken a try!
