Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 17

4 large chicken breasts (lightly pounded to even thickness)
1 teaspoon Italian Seasoning
Salt and pepper
4 tablespoons flour
3 tablespoons parmesan cheese (hand shredded or grated)
2 tablespoons European Style Butter
¼ cup European Style Butter
4 garlic cloves (minced)
8.5 ounces sun-dried tomatoes (drained and rinsed)
1 tablespoon flour
½ cup heavy cream
1 cup low sodium chicken broth
½ cup parmesan cheese (grated or hand shredded)
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
¼ teaspoon black pepper
1 cup baby spinach (chopped)
Fresh parsley for garnish

Steps:

  • Season each side of each pounded chicken breast with Italian Seasoning and salt and pepper.
  • Combine flour and grated parmesan in a shallow bowl. Dredge each chicken breast in the flour mixture, coating both sides.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium high heat. Add the 2 tablespoons butter and stir/melt.
  • Cook the chicken (in batches if necessary) for 4-5 minutes per side or until its fully cooked (165F in the center and no longer pink) and browned on both sides. Remove from the skillet and place on a plate. Cover with foil.
  • Wipe the skillet clean and return the skillet to medium high heat and add the remaining ¼ cup butter. Use a wooden spoon to scrape the bottom of the pan as the butter melts. The brown bits hold a lot of flavor, so no need to remove.
  • Add the garlic and sun-dried tomatoes and cook for 1-2 minutes or until fragrant.
  • Whisk in the flour and allow to thicken for approximately 1 minute.
  • Whisk in the heavy cream, chicken broth, parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, and pepper. Stir to combine.
  • Add the spinach and reduce heat to simmer. Allow to cook until the sauce slightly thickens and the spinach wilts.
  • Add the chicken back into the skillet and turn to coat in the sauce. Allow to continue to simmer until the chicken is heated through, 2-3 minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley.
  • Enjoy!

BAKED CHICKEN WITH CRISPY PARMESAN AND TOMATOES



Baked Chicken With Crispy Parmesan and Tomatoes image

Think of this as an easy version of chicken Parmesan, tender chicken, tangy tomatoes and crispy bits of Parmesan. Here, there's no pounding, breading or frying required. The bath of garlicky tomatoes gently cooks the chicken, keeping it juicy, while the dusting of Parmesan returns some richness lost in choosing boneless and skinless breasts. Seek out chicken breasts on the larger side to give the Parmesan a chance to properly brown and crisp up without overcooking.

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 (28-ounce) can whole peeled tomatoes, drained
4 cloves garlic, crushed
4 sprigs thyme, oregano or rosemary
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
Kosher salt
Freshly ground pepper
4 large boneless, skinless chicken breast halves (6 to 8 ounces each)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 ounce Parmesan, plus about 2 tablespoons for garnish
1/2 cup parsley or basil, coarsely chopped (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 425 degrees. Slice the tomatoes in half crosswise and place in a 9-by-13-inch baking dish along with garlic, thyme and crushed red pepper flakes, if using. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Season chicken with salt and pepper and nestle into baking dish. Drizzle with olive oil and bake until chicken is about halfway cooked through, about 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from oven and grate Parmesan over chicken.
  • Return to oven and continue to bake until chicken is cooked through, tomatoes are starting to caramelize and Parmesan is browned and crisp, about 10 to 12 minutes more.
  • Remove from oven and sprinkle with parsley or basil before serving, if desired, and garnish with shavings of Parmesan.
