Stuffed Potatoes With Chicken And Broccoli Sauce Recipes

STUFFED POTATOES WITH CHICKEN AND BROCCOLI SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 400°.
• Place your potatoes into a large bowl, and prick each potato a few times with a fork; drizzle a little oil over them (about 1 tablespoon worth), plus add a sprinkle of salt and pepper, and place the potatoes directly onto the rack in the oven; bake the potatoes for about 50 to 60 minutes, or until tender when pierced with a paring knife.
• While the potatoes bake, place a medium-size sauce pan over medium heat; add in the butter, and once it begins to melt, add in the garlic, and stir to combine.
• Once all of the butter is melted and the garlic is aromatic, sprinkle in the flour and stir, and cook the roux for about 1 minute to cook out the raw flour taste.
• Next, pour the milk into the roux mixture, whisking the whole time to avoid any lumps from forming; allow the milk mixture to come to a gentle simmer, and then simmer for a few minutes, whisking occasionally, until the mixture thickens and becomes creamy and smooth.
• Turn off the heat and add in 1 teaspoon of salt, 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper, the Italian seasoning, and the grated parmesan, and whisk to combine and blend until smooth.
• Add in the diced chicken breasts and the chopped broccoli florets, and stir to incorporate.
• Once the potatoes are baked, allow them to cool just enough so you can handle them; slice them length-wise to open them up (do not cut all the way through, just enough to reveal the flesh inside, about 3/4 of the way through), and squeeze to bring out some of the potato flesh to the surface; fluff with a fork, and sprinkle in a tiny bit of salt and pepper.
• To serve, ladle or spoon into the cavity of the potato a generous amount of the creamy chicken and broccoli sauce, and top with some of the grated cheese and a sprinkle of the bacon, if desired.

CHICKEN STUFFED WITH SMOKED MOZZARELLA, ROASTED TOMATOES AND BROCCOLI RABE OVER POTATOES WITH MARSALA SAUCE

Steps:

• To roast vegetables, preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Place tomatoes and rapini on a baking sheet and season with salt and pepper and coat with 1/4 cup of the olive oil. Roast the vegetables until tender, then remove and allow to cool.
• Begin the Marsala sauce by heating 1/4 cup of the oil in a saute pan and cooking the shallots or onion gently until translucent. Deglaze the pan with the wine and add the stock and fresh thyme. Allow to reduce by 2/3.
• For the stuffed chicken, preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lay a long piece of plastic wrap over your cutting board and tuck it underneath the sides of the board. The chicken breasts should be placed on the covered cutting board, skin side down, with enough space between them so they can lay flat after you "butterfly" them. To make the butterfly cut, carefully slice open (without slicing the chicken all the way through) and spread the flesh of the chicken out so you will be able to pound it out into a single thin piece on which you will place stuffing and then roll up. Season the breasts with salt and pepper. Then put another length of plastic wrap over the seasoned chicken breasts and flatten with meat mallet to integrate the seasoning into the chicken. (Covering the chicken with the plastic will also keep the mess down when you pound with the meat mallet.) Pound chicken thin and remove plastic. Lay sliced smoked mozzarella on each breast followed by broccoli rabe and roasted tomatoes. Fold in each end and roll tightly, securing with toothpicks as needed, and placing on a baking sheet. Season with salt and pepper and brush with 2 tablespoons olive oil. Place in the oven and roast until fork tender about 45 to 50 minutes.
• Place the potatoes on a baking sheet, season with salt and pepper, and coat with olive oil. Place in the oven and roast potatoes until they are also fork tender.
• Strain Marsala sauce and whisk in butter to finish. Season with salt and pepper, as needed.
• Remove any toothpicks securing the chicken. Slice each chicken roll to reveal the stuffed interior. Place on serving plate with roasted potatoes. Spoon Marsala sauce around chicken. Garnish with chopped chives.

ROASTED CHICKEN BREASTS WITH POTATOES AND BROCCOLI

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
• Mix salt, paprika, onion powder, thyme, white pepper, cayenne, black pepper, and garlic powder together in a bowl. Rub 1/2 of the spice mix liberally all over the chicken breasts, including under the skin. Reserve the remaining mix.
• Melt butter in a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Place the chicken breasts, skin-side down, into the melted butter and and brown, without moving, for 5 minutes.
• In the meantime, toss potatoes with the rest of the spice mix.
• Remove chicken from the pan and add potatoes to the bottom of the skillet in a single layer. Place chicken breasts, skin-side up back on top of the potato wedges and place in the preheated oven.
• Roast in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink in the center and juices run clear, 18 to 20 minutes.
• While the chicken and potatoes are roasting, salt the broccoli florets lightly.
• Remove the chicken, add the broccoli to the skillet, and toss with the chicken drippings and potatoes. Add chopped garlic. Return the skillet to the oven and roast until broccoli is tender, 8 to 10 minutes.

BROCCOLI-STUFFED POTATOES

Steps:

• In a small saucepan, melt butter. Add flour and stir to make a smooth paste. Stir in milk and cook over low heat until thickened. Add mustard, salt and pepper. Stir in cheese and cook until melted. Fold in broccoli and ham. Serve over hot baked potatoes.

PARMESAN AND BROCCOLI STUFFED POTATOES

Steps:

• Wash potatoes and pierce with a fork. Microwave on high for 15 minutes, or until done.
• Place broccoli in a steamer over 1 inch of boiling water, and cover. Cook until tender but still firm, about 2 to 6 minutes. Drain.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Slice the tops off of the potatoes, and scoop the flesh into a large bowl with the broccoli. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir in cheese sauce and mash mixture until desired consistency is reached, adding more sauce if desired. Spoon mixture back into the skins, and place on a baking sheet.
• Bake in preheated oven for 30 minutes.

CHICKEN STUFFED POTATOES WITH ALFREDO SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Set a wire rack on a rimmed baking sheet.
• Rinse and scrub potatoes, then prick with a fork. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Set on the prepared rack.
• Bake potatoes in the preheated oven until the internal temperature is 205 to 212 degrees F (96 to 100 degrees C), about 50 minutes.
• While potatoes are baking, remove meat from rotisserie chicken; discard skin and bones. Pull or cut meat into chunks and keep warm.
• Prepare Alfredo sauce: Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat until sizzling. Add garlic in a single layer; cook until soft and fragrant but not brown, about 1 minute. Reduce heat and pour in half-and-half and cream; whisk to incorporate. Add Parmesan cheese and pepper and continue to whisk, until cheese is melted.
• Place vegetables in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high power until warm, about 3 minutes. Chop vegetables into bite-sized pieces if desired, and mix with chicken.
• When potatoes are finished baking, remove from the oven. Cut a slit into each potato with a fork or a knife, leaving 1/2 inch uncut on edge. Use both hands to press each potato in towards the center so it opens up. This will help let you stuff the potato.
• Top potatoes with chicken mixture and drizzle with Alfredo sauce.
