Sesame And Herbes De Provence Chicken Tenders Recipes

PARMIGIANO AND HERB CHICKEN BREAST TENDERS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Place a nonstick cookie sheet in oven with a tin foil liner.
• Heat 1/2-inch oil in a large nonstick skillet or frying pan over medium to medium high heat.
• Season chicken tenders with salt and pepper. Wash hands. Place flour in a shallow dish. Beat eggs with water in a second dish along side the flour. In a third dish, combine the breading ingredients. Coat chicken in flour, then egg, then bread and cheese mixture. To keep your hands clean, ask for plastic gloves at the butcher counter. To ease your clean up, try using disposable tin pie tins for the flour, egg and bread crumbs.
• Cook chicken until deeply golden on each side, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to cookie sheet in preheated oven and finish off for another 5 minutes cooking time. Cook chicken 5 or 6 tenders at a time in a single layer, adding additional oil if necessary. If the chicken begins to brown too quickly lower heat slightly. Serve chicken hot or cold with green salad or, complete as a Parmigiano.
• Set water on to boil for pasta and prepare according to package directions for al dente. Before coating chicken, add oil, onions and garlic to a saucepan to cook medium low heat. Stir occasionally for 10 minutes while you are working on the chicken. Add both cans of tomatoes and a cup of chicken broth and bring sauce to a bubble. Reduce heat to a simmer until ready to serve. Stir in torn basil and season sauce with salt, to your taste.
• Place a little of the sauce on the chicken tenders, top with the shredded provolone and Parmigiano. Place in oven or broiler to melt the cheese and then serve. Coat the hot, cooked pasta lightly with sauce then serve.
• Enjoy!

HERBES DE PROVENCE CHICKEN

Steps:

• Combine first six ingredients to create marinade.
• Add chicken breasts and allow to marinade for at least two hours.
• Bake uncovered at 400 degrees for 40 minutes (20-30 minutes for boneless breasts).
• Alternately, grill until cooked thoroughly using marinade to baste frequently.

PARMESAN SESAME CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• In a bowl, mix the bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, and sesame seeds. Place the egg in a separate bowl. Dip the chicken in the egg, then dip into the bread crumb mixture to coat. Place the chicken breasts in a shallow baking dish.
• Bake chicken 20 to 30 minutes in the preheated oven, until juices run clear.

ROASTED CHICKEN WITH HERBES DE PROVENCE

Steps:

• Wash and prep chicken. Place in roaster.
• Peel the garlic clove by whacking it with the flat of a knife (yes, you could just take the peel off, but the smashing/bruising releases the flavor as well as removing the peel).
• Put the garlic into the chicken's cavity.
• Put 1/2 the sherry into the cavity and sprinkle half over the chicken's breast.
• Sprinkle the Herbs de Provence over the chicken.
• Roast, covered, at 350F for 60-90 minutes depending on the size of the chicken then remove the lid and roast uncovered another 15-30 minutes until the skin is crisp and the chicken is fully cooked.
• If you want a sauce either use the pan juices to make gravy or deglaze the pan with a little white wine. Either would be delicious.
