Can anyone tell me of a good Italian chicken recipe??

Question

I'm having a party and am planning to serve Italian chicken and would like any ideas on how to make it special.

Answer 1

Chicken parmesan is always a favorite with most people. Roll boneless, skinless chicken breasts in flour, then egg and finally italian breadcrumbs (I usually just use egg and breadcrumbs). Season more if you want.

Fry a minute or two on each side in olive oil or butter, medium high heat, until the outside has browned well but hasn't burned.

Pour some tomato sauce or pasta sauce on the bottom of a baking dish that will fit all of your chix breasts. Layer the breasts on top of the sauce (not too much, only use about a cup, just enough to cover the bottom). Add more tomato sauce on top and bake at 350 for about 25-35 minutes (it depends on how long you browned the chicken for.)
About ten minutes before the chicken is done, cover the breasts with mozzarella cheese (pepper jack is good) and add some parmesan also if you have it.

I usually end up baking my chicken for about forty minutes (some people prefer to do it all on the stovetop or cook it almost completely on the stovetop and then bake it just a little while to melt the cheese). I like my chicken well done.

But this is just a variation...check the web for different recipes if you would like something more specific. The messy part is the prep of the chicken, after that you can let it bake. Serve with a salad or antipasto, spaghetti, and maybe garlic bread. Also, chicken marsala is really good if you want a wine and mushroom recipe. Allrecipes and about.com have plenty of ideas.

My husband experimented and came up with this and it is the best!! We use a seasoning that we get from italy but I'm sure that any italian seasoning would work great.

heat olive oil in a skillit season chicken breast w/ italian seasoning saute basically browning it, your not cooking it all the way through. then in a casserole dish put a can of italian stewed and a can of italian diced tomatos how much depends on how many ppl your serving. bake at 350 until chicken is done. We sprinkle Italian style cheese on top before serving and have some on the table incase ppl want extra. Serve over lingunie.

Answer 3

This seasoning method comes from Puerto Rico but because of the garlic it has a very Italian flare & it's...
MY FAVORITE!!!!

Take 6(change the amounts depending on how much chicken you have... this would work for one pound) cloves of garlic & mash them (you can use a food processor or a mortar & pestle)
add salt, oregano, & a little bit of olive oil..make into a paste

If you have all purpose seasoning sprinkle some all over the chicken then rub the paste all over the chicken breasts (you may want to cut some slits in the chicken to get seasoning inside)

Put in a pan with a little bit of butter to saute (you can also add half a cup of white wine & a tablesppon of lemon juice, this part is optional... I just love how juicey & tasty it comes out)



Serve on top of plain pasta or on the side of rice pilaf

Good Luck! Enjoy! ;-)
