No Fuss Sun Oven Chicken Masala Food

THE BEST CHICKEN MARSALA

Steps:

• Set a wire rack inside a rimmed baking sheet. Cut two 12-inch sheets of plastic wrap.
• Cut the chicken breasts in half lengthwise, making 6 roughly equal pieces; they should look like large chicken tenders. Place one sheet of plastic on a clean cutting board. Put a chicken piece in the center of the plastic and top with the other sheet of plastic. Pound the chicken with the flat side of a meat mallet, starting in the center and working your way to the edges, until the chicken is 1/4 inch thick and 6 to 8 inches long. Transfer to the wire rack. Repeat with the remaining chicken pieces. Liberally sprinkle the chicken with salt and pepper.
• Mix the flour with 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and a generous amount of pepper in a shallow bowl or plate. Dredge the cutlets in the seasoned flour, shaking off any excess. Heat 3 tablespoons of the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until very hot, about 1 minute. Sear 3 cutlets until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer the cutlets to a plate. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil to the pan and sear the remaining 3 cutlets until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. It's ok if the chicken is not completely cooked through; it will finish cooking in the sauce.
• Add the mushrooms and 1/2 teaspoon salt to the same pan and cook, stirring and scraping up any browned bits, until the mushrooms are slightly softened and just beginning to release some liquid, 3 to 4 minutes. (The mushrooms will soak up the oil quickly and dry up the pan; that's ok, more liquid will release as they cook longer.) Add the shallots and cook, stirring and scraping up any browned bits, until starting to soften, 3 to 4 minutes.
• Remove the pan from the heat. Pour in the wine and 1/2 cup water. Return the pan to high heat and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer until the liquid reduces by a third and starts to thicken, 6 to 7 minutes. Whisk in the butter and continue whisking until it is melted and the sauce has thickened, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Add the cutlets and any accumulated juices to the pan and cook, flipping halfway through, until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened, about 2 minutes.
• Remove the chicken to a platter and stir the parsley into the sauce. Pour the sauce over the chicken and garnish with more parsley.

NO-FUSS CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°. In a bowl, combine dressing, preserves and soup mix. Place chicken in two ungreased 13x9-in. baking dishes; top with dressing mixture. Cover and bake 20 minutes; baste. Bake, uncovered, 20 minutes longer or until chicken juices run clear. Serve over rice.

CHICKEN MARSALA (WITHOUT THE MUSHROOMS)

Steps:

• Cut chicken breasts in to small strips. Put chicken strips in a large bowl to coat with the flour, salt, pepper and garlic. I tend to add extra salt, pepper and garlic to give it a little more flavor.
• Melt butter in skillet. (Sometimes I add less butter just to make it a little healthier.) Add chicken until cooked and then add the shallots and saute until brown. Add wine, chicken broth, diced tomatoes, lemon juice and let simmer for approx 15 minutes. Add the cream and cook till heated through do not boil. Serve with Penne Pasta.

NO FUSS SUN OVEN CHICKEN MASALA

Steps:

• Mix yogurt, cilantro, olive oil, garam masala, salt, and garlic in a glass baking dish. Add chicken to marinade, 1 piece at a time, coating all sides. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 2 hours or overnight. Set Global Sun Oven out to preheat. Scatter onions in a large roasting pan. Set chicken pieces on top of onions (chicken will still be coated with marinade). Discard any remaining marinade. Cover and roast in Sun Oven until chicken is cooked through, 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Serve with pan juices over rice
