CHICKEN DIVAN CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and place a rack in the top third of the oven. Grease a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with some olive oil and set aside.
• In a medium bowl add the breadcrumbs and the olive oil. Season with salt and pepper and set aside.
• Place the chicken in a large pot and cover with water. Add 4 teaspoons salt and bring to a boil, then immediately reduce to a low simmer. Cook the chicken until the internal temperature on an instant read thermometer reads 160 degrees F, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Remove and cool slightly, then slice the chicken into thin strips or shred, and place in the bottom of the prepared dish. Add the broccoli and sprinkle the Parmesan over the top.
• Melt the butter in a medium saucepan set over medium heat. Add the flour and use a wooden spoon or whisk to stir until smooth and cooked, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the nutmeg, and cayenne. Slowly whisk in the milk, Cheddar, stock and wine. Bring to a boil, whisking often. Reduce to a simmer and cook until thickened and smooth, 5 to 8 minutes.
• Pour the sauce over the broccoli and chicken and then top with the breadcrumb mixture and sprinkle the paprika over the top. Cover the dish with foil and bake 15 minutes. Remove the foil and bake until the top is golden and the casserole is bubbling, 15 minutes.
• Cool for about 5 minutes and then serve.

DIANA'S CHICKEN CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Put the chicken breasts in a 9x13 inch glass baking dish.
• Put a slice of Lorraine cheese on each piece of chicken.
• Mix the soup, water and stuffing together (I add only as much stuffing as I think it needs- I don't always add the whole bag as I',m afraid it will be dry. Usually I add about 3/4 of the bag.) Pour the stuffing mixture over the chicken.
• Melt the stick of butter and drizzle over the top.
• Bake, uncovered, for 1 hour at 375 degrees F.
• I like the onion and sage stuffing myself and this is what i used.

DIANE'S CHICKEN DISH

Steps:

• Whisk together the vinegar, olive oil, water, and Italian dressing mix in a bowl. Stir in the chicken; allow chicken to marinate while preparing the remaining ingredients.
• Heat the butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Stir in the onion and bell pepper; cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Remove the the chicken from the marinade using a slotted spoon, and transfer to the skillet; reserve the remaining marinade. Cook and stir the chicken until no longer pink in the center, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Stir in the mushrooms; cook and stir until they begin to soften, about 2 minutes. Add tomato and reserved marinade, then sprinkle cheese on top. Do not stir. Cover and simmer on low heat until cheese is melted and chicken is tender, about 20 minutes. Allow the dish to rest for a few minutes before serving.

DIANA'S FRIED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Steam the chicken until done-this keeps the chicken very juicy and you have a great stock base to freeze for later use (2 meals in one-cant beat that).
• In a large heavy fry pan (I use cast iron), heat 2 1/2-3 inches veg oil over medium high heat.
• Set up three bowls.
• In the first bowl add 1 cup flour and all the salt.
• Mix well in the second bowl add eggs and milk and whisk well.
• In the third bowl add remaining flour, pepper and spike.
• Mix well Now dip in salted flour, dip in egg milk mixture, dip into spiced flour and into the hot oil it goes for around 5 minutes total-just to golden brown on all sides.
• Drain on a rack-not paper or paper towels and you've got some great chicken-juicy, crunchy and very tasty.
