Chicken Recipes

Lemon Chicken
Jana Freed

5 or 6 chicken breasts
2 lemons or 1/2 cup lemon juice
2 cups chicken broth
2 tbsp. butter
1 tsp. cornstarch

Melt butter and cook chicken in skillet on medium heat. Remove chicken and deglaze pan with lemon and broth. Add a teaspoon cornstarch to thicken, but sauce will still be thin. Then add:

1/2 tsp. garlic powder
parsley
1 pkg. of fresh, sliced mushrooms
1 cup heavy cream

Add chicken again, and serve over angel hair pasta and top with fresh grated Parmesan cheese.

Chicken Scampi
Jana Freed

1/2 cup butter
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup finely chopped green onions
1 tbsp. minced garlic
juice of 1 lemon
2 lbs chicken breasts (boned, skinned, and cut into 1/2 inch pieces)
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. ground pepper
1/4 cup minced parsley
1 tomato, chopped

In skillet, heat together butter and olive oil and saute green onions and garlic. Add lemon juice, chicken, salt and pepper, and parsley. Continue cooking, stirring constatnly, for 5 to 8 minutes or until chicken is done. Add tomatoes and heat through. Serve over buttered noodles. (We like it with fettuccinn)

Sweet n' Sour Almond Chicken
Jana Freed

4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts or 8 tenderloins
garlic salt
1 beaten egg
cornstarch
sliced almonds
sesame seeds

Sauce:

1/4 cup chicken broth or water (I generally just use water)
1/2 cup vinegar
3/4 cup sugar
1 tbsp. soy sauce
4 tbsp. ketchup

If using chicken breassts, cut them into large strips (the size of a tenderloin). Sprinkle chicken with garlic salt. Dip in beaten egg and then cornstarch. Fry in oil until browned. Place in casserole dish. Mix sauce together. Pour over chicken. Make sure sauce covers most of the chicken, so don't use too big of a casserole dish. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and sliced almonds on top. Bake, covered, for 1 hour at 325 degrees. Serve over rice.

Chicken Zucchini Casserole
Jana Freed

2 chicken breasts, cooked and cubed
1 can cream of chicken soup
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cube butter
1 pkg. Stove Top Stuffing Mix (chicken flavor)

Salt lightly and parboil for 10 minutes:

3 cups sliced zucchini
1/4 cup chopped onion
1 cup coarse grated or sliced carrots
1 cup sliced celery

Drain vegetables and stir together with cream of chicken soup and sour cream. Set aside. In a separate bowl, melt butter. Add 1 cup hot water and pour in stuffing mix. Put half of stuffing mix on bottom of a casserole dish. Next spread vegetables on stuffing. Then layer cooked chicken on vegetables. Finish by putting the rest of the stuffing on top. Bake 30 minutes at 350 degrees. (*You can use 2 boxes of stuffing if you want that layer thicker. Be sure to double the hot water and butter if your do.)

or make our own chicken strips, then use this sauce. As good as Chili's!

Mix:
1/2 cup mayo
2 tbs. dijon mustard
2 tbs. honey

to use cut up in salads or pasta.

2 tbs. minced garlic
2 tbs. mustard powder
2 tbs. ground ginger

Combine all ingredients and then let your pork, chicken, or beef marinade until ready to grill.
