PAN-SAUTEED CHICKEN WITH VEGETABLES AND HERBS

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 350 degrees F. Stir the black pepper, paprika and flour on a plate. Coat the chicken with the flour mixture.
• Heat the oil in a 12-inch oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until it's well browned on all sides. Remove the chicken from the skillet.
• Add the onions and potatoes to the skillet and cook for 5 minutes. Add the carrots, stock, lemon juice and oregano and heat to a boil. Return the chicken to the skillet. Cover the skillet.
• Bake for 20 minutes. Uncover the skillet and bake for 15 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender. Sprinkle with the thyme, if desired.
• Serving Suggestion: Serve with corn muffins and steamed broccoli flowerets. For dessert serve red grapes.
• To use 4 skinless boneless chicken breast halves instead of the bone-in chicken: Reduce the oil to 1 tablespoon. Proceed as directed above but do not cover the skillet. Bake, uncovered, for 25 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through. Sprinkle with the thyme, if desired.

BASIC SAUTEED CHICKEN BREAST

Steps:

• Begin by trimming the chicken breasts if they need trimming. I use my beloved kitchen scissors and snip off any shaggy bits of fat or gristle.
• Pat them dry with paper towels (to helps them brown) and sprinkle them with some kosher salt.
• Heat a very large pan over medium-high heat and add the butter, which should melt and foam, and the olive oil, which should stop the butter from burning. When the fat is all very hot but not turning black (recipes say "when the foam subsides"), add the chicken breasts in one layer. Now leave them alone for 5 or so minutes while the bottom gets nice and crusty and brown.
• Use tongs or a spatula to flip them over as they brown, and then cook another 4 or so minutes until the bottom is very brown and the chicken is cooked through. You may want to cut a piece open to check, but pressing a cooked breast with your fingertip will give you a feel for its doneness, which will develop over time into the skill of knowing when it's done without cutting it.
• Pile the chicken on a heat-proof plate and pop it into a 200ºF heated oven while you "deglaze" the pan. Add the garlic, onion and mushrooms until tender. Pour half the broth in and scrape with a spatula to dissolve all the yummy browned bits while the broth bubbles and boils furiously in the hot pan.
• When the wine has cooked down about halfway, add the broth & juice, turn the heat to high, and cook until the sauce seems syrupy and delicious. Taste it for salt, then drizzle it over the chicken, sprinkle with parsley, and serve. Sometimes, if the chicken has browned but doesn't seem quite cooked through, I leave it in the pan while I make the sauce so that it can simmer in there a bit longer.

SAUTEED CHICKEN BREASTS WITH FRESH HERBS AND GINGER

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, and place them skin side down in the pan. Cook, turning once, until firm to the touch, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer the chicken breasts to a plate.
• Add the lime juice to the skillet, and scrape up any browned bits that cling to the pan with a wooden spoon. Add the chicken broth and ginger, and bring to a boil. Off the heat, add the basil and mint to the pan and swirl the pan to combine.
• Divide the chicken between the 2 plates and spoon the herb sauce over the chicken. Serve.

BASIC SAUTEED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Season chicken pieces with salt and pepper.
• Melt 2 tablespoons butter (or combination butter and olive oil) in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chicken pieces, skin side down. Cook about 10 to 15 minutes until chicken is golden brown.
• Turn chicken pieces and cook another 10 to 15 minutes. Continue cooking and turning over occasionally and cook an additional 10 to 15 minutes, for a total of 30 to 40 minutes. Remove chicken and keep warm.
• Pour off any fat in the skillet, then add shallots or onion (any type you prefer), cook briefly. Add wine, scraping skillet bottom to remove loose chunks, until wine is reduce by about half.
• Add chicken broth and simmer, stirring, about a minute, or until you have about 1/2 cup sauce. Add salt and pepper to taste. Swirl in one tablespoon of butter. Pour sauce over chicken and serve.

SIMPLE ITALIAN CHICKEN SAUTE

Steps:

• To prepare chicken breasts, season both sides with Italian seasoning, salt and pepper. Then lightly dust with flour on each side.
