Baked Chicken Sandwiches With Mushroom Sauce Food

BAKED LEMON CHICKEN WITH MUSHROOM SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (205 degrees C).
• Pour olive oil in an 8x8-inch glass baking dish. Place the chicken breasts in the dish, coating each side with oil. Squeeze the juice of 1/2 lemon over each chicken breast. Slice the rest of the lemon and place a lemon slice on top of each chicken piece.
• Bake in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 30 to 40 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
• Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat; add mushrooms. Cook and stir until mushrooms are brown and liquid is evaporated, about 6 minutes. Sprinkle flour over mushrooms and stir until coated. Add chicken broth, stirring to make a medium-thick sauce. Allow sauce to reduce, adjusting with a little more broth to make a creamy sauce. Add fresh parsley at the last minute. Spoon the sauce over the baked chicken breasts.

BAKED CHICKEN WITH CREAMY MUSHROOM SAUCE

Steps:

• Season 1/2 cup flour with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and place in a shallow bowl or on a plate. Season the chicken on both sides with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Dredge the chicken breasts in the flour mixture, and shake to remove any excess. Set aside on a plate.
• In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the oil and 1 tablespoon of the butter and swirl to coat the pan. When the butter begins to foam and sizzle, add the chicken breasts and sear until golden brown on each side (but not all the way cooked through), about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a baking or casserole dish and arrange in a single layer.
• Turn the heat down to medium-low. Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons butter, then add the onions and mushrooms and saute until very fragrant, about 30 seconds. Sprinkle in the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper, and 2 tablespoons flour. Whisk, stirring often, until the flour begins to melt into the mushrooms and onions and turns a light blonde color, about 2 minutes.
• Slowly pour in the warm chicken stock, whisking vigorously, scraping up any brown bits from the bottom, and making sure there aren't any lumps. Simmer, stirring often, until the sauce has slightly reduced and thickened, about 5-8 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and whisk in the heavy cream.
• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Pour the creamy mushroom sauce over the chicken breasts and evenly top with the cheese and crushed crackers. Bake, covered with foil, for 20 minutes.
• Remove cover and continue to bake until the chicken is cooked through, the cheese is melted, and the cracker crumbs are golden brown, about 5-10 more minutes.
• Divide the chicken and sauce among plates and garnish with parsley before serving.

CHICKEN AND MUSHROOM BAKED SHELLS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
• Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the garlic and red pepper flakes and cook, stirring, until the garlic is golden, about 2 minutes. Add both cans of the tomatoes and 1 cup of water. Increase the heat to medium-high and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat slightly and simmer rapidly, uncovered, until thickened, 15 to 20 minutes. Stir in the ricotta and season with salt and pepper.
• While the sauce simmers, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add the mushrooms and 1/4 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer the mushrooms to a large bowl.
• Cook the shells in the salted boiling water until very al dente, about 2 minutes less than the package directions. Drain the pasta and add it to the mixing bowl along with the mushrooms.
• Add the tomato sauce, rotisserie chicken, the mozzarella and half of the parmesan to the bowl and stir well to combine. Transfer the pasta to a 3- to 4-quart baking dish and top with the fontina cheese and the remaining Parmesan. Bake, uncovered, until browned, about 15 minutes. Let the pasta rest for about 10 minutes before serving.

CHICKEN WITH CREAMY MUSHROOM SAUCE

Steps:

• Split breast: Cut each breast in half horizontally to form 4 thin steaks in total.
• Dust with flour: Sprinkle each side with salt and pepper, then sprinkle with flour and use your fingers to spread it all over the surface.
• Cook chicken: Melt 15g butter in a large non-stick frying pan over medium high heat. Add chicken and cook each side for 2 1/2 minutes until golden brown and just cooked through. Remove from pan, cover and keep warm.
• Cook mushrooms: In the same frying pan, add remaining butter and increase heat to high. Add mushrooms and cook for 4 minutes, until starting to turn golden brown on the edges.
• Add garlic later: Then add garlic and a pinch of salt and pepper, and continue cooking for another minute until both garlic and mushrooms are golden.
• Deglaze skillet: Add white wine - it will bubble and be steamy! Cook for 30 seconds, scraping the bottom of the pan, until wine is mostly evaporated and the alcohol smell is gone.
• Make creamy sauce: Add chicken stock, cook vigorously for 1 minute so it mostly evaporates. Then add cream, lower heat to medium and simmer for 2 minutes until it reduces and thickens slightly.
• Add parmesan: Stir in parmesan, taste and add more salt and pepper if needed.
• Finish chicken in sauce: Return chicken to sauce for 30 seconds (to warm through slightly.) Garnish with chives and serve as-is in the pan, for people to help themselves (or transfer to serving platter, if you prefer). Alternatively, serve a portion of chicken onto each plate, spoon sauce over and garnish with more chives.
• Sides: Ideal served with mashed potato or rice - something to soak in that amazing sauce! See Note 5 for suggestions.

BAKED CHICKEN IN MUSHROOM SAUCE

Steps:

• Flatten chicken if needed as you want it to fry quickly.
• Measure flour onto a flat plate and lightly coat chicken. Preserve 1/2 tablespoon of flour and set aside.
• Melt margerine in a large skillet and brown chicken two to three minutes each side and place in a greased baking dish.
• Preheat oven to 375.
• Saute mushrooms in the same skillet (do not wash as you want to preserve the juices) until tender.
• Add chicken broth, salt, and pepper and bring to a boil. Let boil for 3 minutes, add sherry and remaining 1/2 tablespoon of flour. Be sure to gradually add the flour by sprinkling in and mixing while allowing it to dissolve. Adding it too fast will result in clumps of flour in your mushroom sauce. Let the mixture reduce by half of your original liquid.
• Pour mixture over chicken and bake uncovered in oven for 12-15 minutes.
• Remove chicken from oven and layer half of the parmesan cheese, then sprinkle on green onions. Add the remaining parmesan and mozzarella on top and bake for an additional five to six minutes.
• Enjoy :).
