Bonnies Baked Chicken Breasts With Wine Food

BONNIE'S BAKED CHICKEN BREASTS WITH WINE

Steps:

• 1. Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.
• 2. I use a seasoned cast iron skillet, the size that will just hold 4 breasts. I like the way it browns. (You can also use a casserole dish.) Grease the skillet. Place breasts in skillet. .
• 3. Add the cheese slices to cover all of the chicken breasts.
• 4. Mix one can of cream of mushroom soup with wine and sour cream, stir, then pour soup mixture over the cheese.
• 5. I take a rolling pin and run it over the seasoned stuffing in the bag before I open it. I make it just a little less coarse than it is. (Don't roll it into fine crumbs.) Mix the 3 cups of stuffing with the melted butter and spoon on top of the chicken. Spread it out to make a crust.
• 6. Bake in 350 degree oven for 45 minutes COVERED with foil, uncover and bake 15 minutes or until brown and chicken is done. Let stand 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!

• Pour mixture over the chicken and cover the dish.

• Uncover the dish for the last 15 minutes.

BAKED CHICKEN AND WINE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F.
• Melt the butter.
• Mix bread crumbs with grated cheese.
• Dip the chicken in the melted butter then in the bread crumb mixture.
• Place chicken in oven covered, for approximately 20-25 minutes (This depends on the thickness of your chicken breasts).
• Mix the remaining butter with the wine, oregano, and chopped onions.
• When the chicken has about five minutes left until it is done, pour the butter/wine mixture over the chicken.
• The chicken should not be covered for the last 5 minutes.

BONNIE'S GRILLED CHICKEN

Steps:

• 1. Prepare the chicken. Trim the fat and remove skin and bones.
• 2. I used disposable Saran cutting sheets, because it doesn't cut the top layer of breast meat and makes for a nicer final presentation.
• 3. Flatten the chicken breasts with a mallet between two disposable cutting sheets.
• 4. Pat the chicken breasts dry and sprinkle on some cracked black pepper to taste. Place the peppered chicken in the ziploc bag. Do NOT add salt.
• 5. Mix the marinade ingredients in a small bowl.
• 6. Pour the marinade over the chicken, close the bag securely and gently knead the chicken to make sure all the pieces are covered with the marinade. Place the bag on a flat plate and refrigerate about 6 hours. Turn the bag over every two hours.
• 7. Grease the grill so the chicken doesn't stick to it. Place the marinated chicken on the grill over medium heat.
• 8. Grill chicken about 7 to 8 minutes until nicely browned, then turn the breast over and grill the other side about 7 minutes until the juices run clear. Do not overcook the chicken. Chicken should be juicy but not dry.
• 9. Here is a closeup shot.
• 10. Place the chicken on a platter, tent it and let it rest for about 5 minutes before serving. (Chicken continues to cook while resting) Enjoy!

BONNIE'S CHICKEN PROSCIUTTO WITH MUSHROOM SAUCE

Steps:

• 1. PREPARE THE CHICKEN: Remove any fat from the chicken breasts, and cut them in half, then cut them across to make 6 servings. Place each serving of chicken between plastic wrap and pound to 1/4 inch thickness. Set aside.
• 2. BROWN THE CHICKEN: Place the 2 tablespoons of butter in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat, and fry the chicken on both sides until light golden brown on each side. No longer or you will make it tough. Set aside.
• 3. MAKE THE SAUCE: Add the remaining 3 tablespoons of butter to the skillet, add the onion and cook until just tender. Remove the pan from the heat, and add the flour and the mustard. Stir and then add chicken broth, half-and-half and the wine. Cook and stir over low heat until nice and thick, then add the drained mushrooms and 1/2 cup of Swiss cheese, stir until the cheese melts. Turn off heat.
• 4. LAYER THE DISH: Grease a 3 quart pyrex dish. Layer the broccoli evenly in the bottom of the greased dish. Using a ladle, add half of the sauce and drizzle it over the broccoli--this is about 3 ladles. Add the prosciutto on top of the sauce, then add the chicken. Hide any prosciutto under the chicken. Now ladle the rest of the sauce evenly over the chicken.
• 5. BAKE IT: Pre-heat the oven to 400 degrees and bake the dish for 20 to 30 minutes, remove from oven, add the remaining cheese and sprinkle the paprika on top and return to the oven for 2 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the paprika makes streaks like my photo.
• 6. TO SERVE: Let dish stand five minutes before serving. Cut into 6 servings and carefully lift each serving out of the dish with a spatula. Using a large spoon drizzle mushroom cream sauce over each serving. Enjoy!

HEARTY CHICKEN STEW WITH RED WINE & CREAM

Steps:

• In a large stove-top casserole pot, place the chicken breasts (diced into chunky bite-sized pieces) along with the sliced carrots, parsnips, onion and mushroom. Add the chopped garlic cloves and pour over the boiling water with the stock cubes.
• Turn the heat on medium-high and mix thoroughly to dissolve the stock cubes and to ensure the meat and veg are mixed evenly.
• Simmer for approx 20 mins and then add the glass of wine along with the herbs and salt, to taste.
• Cook over a low-medium heat until the meat has cooked through and the vegetables are well-cooked (approx 1 hour).
• Add the cream and stir gently. To thicken, you can either add a thickening agent such as cornflour mixed with milk or a packet of soup or you can remove some of the vegetables, puree them and then return to the pot and mix through.
• Best served hot with crusty bread.
