Breast Of Chicken With Winter Vegetables Recipes

BAKED CHICKEN BREASTS AND VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Arrange chicken breasts on a baking sheet; spread carrots, bell peppers, celery, green onion, and parsley around chicken. Drizzle olive oil over chicken and vegetables; season with salt, Italian seasoning, chili powder, lemon pepper, and black pepper.
• Bake chicken breasts in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the center and juices run clear, about 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

BREAST OF CHICKEN WITH WINTER VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Place the breast halves on a flat surface and trim away and discard any peripheral fat. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Trim and scrape the carrots.
• Trim off the tops of the scallions. Cut the scallions crosswise about three inches from the top. Discard the green parts.
• Trim off the ends of each brussels sprout. If the sprouts are small, leave them whole; otherwise cut them lengthwise in half.
• Peel the potato and cut into 3/4-inch cubes. Cover with cold water until ready to use.
• Trim and scrape the parsnip. Cut into small rectangles about an inch long and 1/2 inch wide.
• Put the broth in a kettle or casserole wide enough to hold the chicken pieces in one layer. Add the carrots, brussels sprouts, potato and parsnip. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil. Let simmer about five or six minutes. Add the breast halves in one layer, and the green onions. Cover and cook about seven minutes.
• Sprinkle with parsley and serve hot with horseradish sauce.

WINTER CHICKEN BAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly grease a baking dish.
• Pierce the sweet potato several times with a fork and cut in half. Place in a microwave-safe dish; pour water to about 1/2-inch deep. Cook in microwave 10 minutes.
• Arrange the onion, apple, and carrots into the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Brush the barbecue sauce on both sides of the chicken breasts and lay atop the vegetables. Peel the sweet potato and cut into large chunks; scatter into the baking dish. Sprinkle the cranberries over the dish.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the chicken is tender and no longer pink in the center, 45 to 55 minutes. Allow to cool 5 minutes before serving.

MUSTARD CHICKEN WITH WINTER VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Put the chicken in a large pot. Halve 1 onion, 1 celery stick and 1 carrot. Add to the pot with the herbs, peppercorns and a sprinkling of salt. Add water to come halfway up the chicken, bring to the boil, then cover tightly and simmer for 1½ hrs. Cool slightly, remove the chicken to a dish, then strain the stock into a bowl.
• When the chicken is cool enough to handle, strip the meat from the bones and tear into pieces with your hands.
• Chop the remaining onion, and cut the celery and carrots into thick slices. Heat the butter in the same pot, add the onion and lardons, then gently fry for 5 mins until just starting to brown. Add the remaining veg, then fry for 2 mins. Stir in the flour, then cook for 1 min. Measure 900ml stock (if you don't have enough, make it up with water), then gradually add to the pan, stirring. Cover, then simmer for 20-25 mins until vegetables are tender.
• Return the chicken to the pan with the mustard and crème fraîche, then return to a simmer, stirring gently. Season and sprinkle with parsley.

CHICKEN ROASTED WITH WINTER ROOT VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200C/gas 6/fan 180C. Put the celeriac, swede, sweet potato, parsnips and garlic in a large roasting tin. Sprinkle with the olive oil and cumin, and season with salt and pepper. Toss the vegetables together so they are lightly coated in oil. Put in the oven towards the top and roast for 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, lay a couple of sage leaves on each chicken breast, then wrap each with a slice of prosciutto to enclose.
• Take the roasting pan from the oven and turn the vegetables over. Now lay the chicken on top. Roast for 30- 35 minutes more, until the vegetables are tender and the chicken is done. Serve with steamed broccoli or lightly cooked Savoy cabbage.

• Roast vegetables in the preheated oven for 15 minutes; stir and continue roasting until tender, about 15 minutes more.
• Pound chicken to 1/2-inch thickness on a work surface; season with 1/4 teaspoon salt and ground black pepper to taste.
• Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat; cook chicken until no longer pink in the center, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer chicken to a bowl.
• Pour chicken broth and wine into the same skillet and bring to a boil while scraping the browned bits of food off of the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon, about 2 minutes.
