I need a good chicken recipe. Got one?

Question

It's my husband's birthday and I'm making him chicken. I just don't know how I want to fix it. He's not picky, he'll eat almost anything. I don't want a recipe from a website. I want one that you have actually made and know that it tastes good. Anyone have one?

Answer 1

Barbecue Chicken Sandwiches:

1 3 1/2- to 4-pound rotisserie chicken, meat shredded (about 5 cups)
1 to 1 1/2 cups barbecue sauce
1/4 cup pickled jalapeños, roughly chopped (optional)
4 hamburger buns
Potato chips (optional)

In a bowl, combine the chicken, barbecue sauce, and jalapeños (if using). Divide the mixture evenly among the bottoms of the buns and sandwich with the tops. Serve with potato chips (if using).

Yield: Makes 4 servings

Answer 2

Baked Chicken
Just season the meat well with some seasoning salt & garlic or salt, pepper & garlic, put in a baking pan & cover. Cook in oven @ 325 degrees. I always let mine cook for at least 3 hours. After it's cooked for about 2 hours uncover it so the outside can get brown. When it covered the mean gets tender, but it's all white & doesn't look appetizing. Also, turn the meat every hour. Once the chicken is a nice brown & the juices on the bottom of the pan have become sticky & somewhat thick it should be finish. I recommend using a disposible foil pan.

Answer 3

ok you will need

1 medium white onion
2 chorizos
1 bell pepper ( color is not important unless you want to mix and match
4 chicken breasts
1tsp paprika
1tsp chili powder
pico de gallo sauce or salsa like the one from chips. or the mexican green sauce.
pepper and salt to taste or even better adobo

cook the chorizo with the peppers and onions on an ungreased non stick skillet or pan (Med high heat). when the chorizo cooks it will release some fat that will cook the chicken. once the onions and peppers are ready add the lightly seasoned (salt/pepper or adobo) chicken breasts (they will absorb some of the chorizo flavor). add the paprika and the chili powder cook until they are cooked thru, then add the sauce let it simmer for 5 minutes covered in low heat.

the whole prep and cook time should take no less than 30 minutes
I use this recipe as a burrito or fajita filling. it is very good. I made it once for a work thing and people just ate it up

If you need to make a bigger batch multiply amounts by 2

Answer 4

CHICKEN TETRAZZINI

1 lb. pasta, cooked
1/2 pound fresh mushrooms
1 stick butter
2/3 cup flour
1 large onion, sliced
5 cloves garlic, peeled and chopped
4 c. chicken broth
2 c. light cream
1/4 cup dry sherry
4 c. diced chicken, cooked
1 c. grated Parmesan cheese
1/3 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and pepper to taste

Cook and drain pasta according to package directions. Slice the mushrooms 1/8 of an inch thick and sauté in 2-3 tablespoons of the butter, along with sliced onion, and chopped garlic until lightly browned. Combine the remaining butter with flour and add chicken broth, stirring over low heat until thickened. Add the cream, salt, pepper, sherry, and garlic powder.
Divide the sauce in half. And one half of the chicken meat, and half of the mushrooms and cooked pasta. Butter a casserole dish and turn the pasta mixture into the casserole leaving a well in the center of the pasta.

Turn remaining cooked chicken half into the center of the pasta mixture. Top with Parmesan cheese, and bake uncovered at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 20 minutes.

Optional: may also top with butter to breadcrumbs and grated cheddar or American cheese.

Answer 5

Not only is this recipe easy, but it tastes great.
Chicken Carbonara
2 teaspoons olive oil
4 ounces thinly sliced pancetta, chopped (If you don't have it, used smoked (not Maple) bacon)
2 teaspoons minced garlic
2 1/2 cups whipping cream
1 cup freshly grated Parmesan
8 large egg yolks
1/4 cup chopped fresh basil leaves
1/4 cup chopped fresh Italian parsley leaves
Salt
1 pound spaghetti
4 cups coarsely shredded chicken (from 1 roasted chicken)
Freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup chopped walnuts, toasted
1 tablespoon finely grated lemon peel

Heat the oil in a heavy large frying pan over medium heat. Add the pancetta and garlic and saute until it is brown and crisp, about 8 minutes. Cool slightly.
In a large bowl, whisk together the cream, cheese, yolks, basil, and parsley to blend.
Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the spaghetti and cook until it is just tender but still firm to the bite, stirring occasionally, about 10 minutes. Drain.
Add the chicken to the pan with the pancetta and stir to combine. Next, add the spaghetti and the cream mixture and toss over medium-low heat until the chicken is heated through and the sauce coats the spaghetti thickly, about 4 minutes (do not boil or you might end up scrambling the eggs). Season the pasta, to taste, with pepper and salt if needed (the pancetta will likely add all the salt you need). Transfer the pasta to a large wide serving bowl. Sprinkle the walnuts and lemon zest over, and serve.

Answer 10

My favourite is you stuff the chicken with garlic - absolutely full, lots of garlic, can you get any more in? do so.

Then you bake it in a covered dish til its just about falling off the bone. It really is very very nice, moist, tender and it hardly tastes of garlic at all for some reason.

Happy Birthday to him!

Answer 11

Chicken is a crappy birthday dinner.
Make him a New York Strip steak, 12 ounces, BBQ from each side for 6 minutes and season with sea salt and pepper.
Serve with mashed sweet potatoes (add shot of Bourbon, 1 ounce of butter and a dose cinnamon) and perhaps some green asparagus (and poor molten butter over this one).
He'll love that.
