Chicken Caprese


Makes: 4 servings Prep: 15 minutes
Cook: 10 minutes

* 3 large ripe plum tomatoes (about 3/4 pound), cored, seeds squeezed out, and diced
* 6 ounces fresh mozzarella, cut into small cubes
* 5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
* 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
* 1/2 teaspoon salt
* 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
* 3 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
* 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
* 2 eggs
* 1/2 cup bread crumbs
* 4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves (about 1-1/2 pounds total)
* Additional basil for garnish, optional

Directions

1. In a medium-size bowl, mix tomatoes, mozzarella, 2 tablespoons of the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, 1/4 teaspoon of the salt, 1/8 teaspoon of the pepper and chopped basil for the Caprese salad. Cover with plastic wrap and reserve.

2. Place flour on a large plate. Lightly beat eggs in a shallow bowl. Spread the bread crumbs on another plate.

3. Dip chicken first in the flour, then in the egg and finally into the bread crumbs, pressing to adhere. Sprinkle both sides with the remaining salt and pepper. Place on a large plate.

4. Heat remaining 3 tablespoons oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high. Add chicken and cook about 5 minutes per side or until internal temperature reads 160°F on an instant-read thermometer. Turn a few times, if necessary, to avoid burning.

5. To serve, spoon an equal amount of Caprese salad over each piece of chicken. Garnish with additional basil and serve with garlic bread, if desired.

CLASSIC CHICKEN DIVAN

1/4 c. butter
6 tbsp. all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp. salt
Dash of pepper
2 c. chicken broth
1/2 c. heavy cream
3 tbsp. dry white wine
1 bunch broccoli, cooked and drained
3 chicken breasts, cooked, boned
1/4 c. Parmesan cheese, grated

Melt butter; blend in flour, salt and pepper. Add chicken broth. Cook, stirring until mixture thickens and bubbles. Add cream and wine.
Place broccoli crosswise in a 12x7 1/2-inch baking dish. Place chicken over broccoli. Top with sauce. Sprinkle cheese on top. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes.

If you want, you can just replace the first seven ingredients with three cups of cream of chicken soup... it certainly cuts down the prep time!

Here's another quick one you could pull off on a work night:

CHICKEN, CARROT, CELERY, ONION
ONE-DISH MEAL

1 whole chicken (cut-up fryer size)
1/2 c. flour
3/4 c. vegetable oil
2 c. diced carrots
2 c. diced celery
1 c. diced onion
2 bouillon cubes (or 3 tbsp. vegetable mix for broth for no-salt diets)
2 c. water
Pepper and salt to taste

Heat oil in large frying pan. Mix flour, pepper, salt in plastic bag and drop in washed chicken, shake until coated with flour. Place chicken parts in heated oil and brown. Remove chicken and place it in the pan your plan to use for baking in - 9 x 13 inches works well.
Add all vegetables to the oil and saute until the onion is clear. Add the water with bouillon cubes (or broth mix) to the vegetables. Turn all the vegetables and mix into the pan with the chicken. Cover pan with foil. Place in 350 degree oven for 45 minutes. Serve with baked potatoes or rice.
