One Recipe Two Meals Crispy Baked Chicken Food

EASY CRISPY BAKED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Grease a baking dish.
• Mix cracker crumbs, seasoned salt, and garlic powder in a shallow bowl. Dip chicken breasts into melted margarine and press into cracker mixture until coated. Arrange chicken in prepared baking dish.
• Bake in preheated oven until chicken breasts are no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 45 to 60 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (75 degrees C).

ONE RECIPE, TWO MEALS: PASTA PRIMAVERA

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the rotini and cook until al dente, according to the box directions. Save a cup of the pasta water and drain the rest.
• At this point, scoop out two cups of the cooked pasta and place it back in the pot. Add 1/4 cup chicken stock and 1 tablespoon butter. If needed, add a little bit of the reserved pasta water to create a thin sauce. Add 1/4 cup Parmesan and stir to combine.
• Serve to your kids as is, or with 1/4 cup warmed peas, with extra grated Parmesan on top.
• Place the remaining cooked pasta back in the pot.
• In the meantime, heat the oil in a large saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the broccoli florets and asparagus pieces to the pan. Add 1/4 cup water and cover to steam, about 3 minutes.
• To the pan, add the cherry tomatoes, white wine, garlic, thyme leaves, 2 tablespoons butter and the remaining 1/2 cup chicken stock. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Let saute for a few more minutes until the colors pop. Finally, add the peas and toss. Off the heat, add the last tablespoon of butter and another 1/3 cup Parmesan. If needed, stir in a little of the reserved pasta water to create a sauce. Toss to combine.
• Serve the adult-friendly pasta primavera with fresh parsley and more Parmesan-and that extra white wine, for Pete's sake!

ONE RECIPE, TWO MEALS: CHICKEN STIR-FRY

Steps:

• Heat 2 tablespoons of the sesame oil in a large saute pan. Add the chicken to the pan, and sprinkle with salt and pepper; sear on one side for 3 minutes. Flip and sear until you see nice browning all over, another minute or two. Remove the chicken and set aside.
• Add the thawed veggies to the pan to simply warm through.
• In the meantime, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the rice noodles and boil for about 1 minute. Remove from the heat and let stand for about 5 minutes. Drain the noodles.
• At this point you're ready to serve the kids! Using tongs, grab a small mound of noodles and plate them. Top with the warm veggies and a few slices of chicken. If your kids can dig a little scallion, by all means, garnish away! Sesame seeds are fun, too.
• Now let's continue on for our adult mouth holes.
• Back in the saute pan, bring another tablespoon or two of sesame oil to a medium-high heat. Add the garlic, ginger and lemongrass. Let bloom and saute for about 30 seconds, then add the red bell pepper and snow peas. Sprinkle with a small pinch of salt and pepper. Toss and saute a couple of minutes, until the veggies slightly soften and pop in color.
• Add the chicken to the pan, along with as many noodles as you can fit. Add the soy sauce, lime juice and maybe 1 more tablespoon of sesame oil. Toss everything together to coat.
• Serve on a huge platter (or individual plates) garnished with scallions and sesame seeds!

CRISPY CHICKEN 2 WAYS

Steps:

• Using a pair of metal kitchen tongs or a fork, hold the pepper over the flame of a gas burner until well charred, turning occasionally. Alternatively, char the pepper under your broiler set to high, turning occasionally until charred. Transfer to a small bowl and cover with plastic or a plate to seal in the steam and set aside.
• Tear the bread into small pieces and roughly chop the garlic. Add both to the bowl of a food processor fitted with a steel blade and pulse until the mixture is finely ground into breadcrumbs. Add the olive oil, season with salt and pepper and pulse to combine.
• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the breadcrumb mixture. Toast, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and crisp, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a shallow dish and spread into a thin layer to cool completely.
• Meanwhile, peel the charred skin off of the pepper, finely dice and add it to a small bowl along with the crumbled feta. Mix well to combine and set aside.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) and set out two baking sheets.
• Prepare the chicken by removing the tender from each and slicing two of the breasts into four or five long pieces that are about the same size as the tenders. Slice a pocket into the side of the two remaining chicken breasts and stuff each with the pepper and feta mixture.
• Scatter the flour into a shallow dish. Season with salt. Beat the mayonnaise and eggs together in a separate shallow dish. Set up a breading station with the flour, egg mixture and toasted breadcrumbs. Dredge the tenders by coating in flour, dipping in the egg and finally pressing into the breadcrumbs to coat. Continue with the rest of the tenders, placing the coated pieces onto one of the baking sheets, leaving space between each. Coat the stuffed chicken breasts as you did the tenders, being careful not to let any of the stuffing fall out, and place onto the second baking sheet.
• Place both the tenders and the stuffed chicken breasts into the oven, placing the stuffed breasts onto the lower shelf if needed for space. Bake until cooked through to 165 degrees F (75 degrees C), 20 to 25 minutes for the tenders and 25 to 30 minutes for the stuffed breasts. Allow the chicken to rest for 3 to 5 minutes.

ONE RECIPE, TWO MEALS CHICKEN LO MEIN

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the lo mein noodles until al dente, about 3 minutes. Drain, and drizzle with a little bit of sesame or olive oil, to keep the noodles from sticking. Set aside.
• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and brown, breaking it up with a wooden spoon. Add the Chinese 5-spice powder and a small pinch of salt. Continue to cook until the seasoning coats the chicken, about 30 seconds.
• At this point, set aside about 3/4 cup of the noodles with 1/2 cup of the chicken. Divide that between two small plates, and drizzle a tablespoon of orange juice over both plates. Garnish with a few mandarin orange wedges and a tiny bit of scallions, if your kids dig it! Serve it to your littles.
• Now, for you. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, brown sugar, fish sauce, lime juice, olive oil, and the remaining 2 tablespoons orange juice. Pour the mix over the remaining ground chicken in your skillet, and bring the heat back up (if you've turned it down, to tend to the kids). Add the bean sprouts and bell pepper and cook, stirring, 3 more minutes, so the flavors have time to marry. Add the remaining noodles to the pan and toss to combine.
• Serve with fresh lime wedges and the remaining scallions! Good grief, almighty. Eat!
