Here are three great chicken recipes I saw on the Rachael Ray show. I tweaked them a bit and added an extra ingredient here and there to suit my own taste. I have a hunch you’ll like them as much as I do! Enjoy!
Chicken BLT:
For this recipe, you’ll want to grill four boneless, skinless chicken breasts (relatively small ones—you may need to pound them down a bit if they are too thick). Toast up some white or sourdough bread, add mayonnaise and mustard then layer your sandwich in this order: grilled chicken breast, cooked bacon strips, lettuce, and tomato. You can also add avocado if you’d like—yum. Your whole family will gobble this one up.
Chicken Caprese:
This is a great twist on a classic tomato, basil and mozzarella caprese salad. Simply grill 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts with a little olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Top each chicken breast as you would prepare a caprese salad: fresh mozzarella, a tomato slice, a basil leaf, fresh mozzarella, a tomato slice, another basil leaf. Sprinkle with a bit of extra virgin olive oil, salt, and pepper.
Chicken Eggplant Parmesean:
I’ve never thought of mixing these two delicious meals into one. But man oh man, this is one I’ll definitely be trying soon. If you’re going low-carb, this is a GREAT meal too.
To make this recipe, grill 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts and 1 large eggplant (to prepare the eggplant you’ll need to slice it into ½ inch rings. Soak the rings in salted water for 30 minutes prior to grilling to remove the bitter flavor. Drain on a paper towel then place on the oiled grill). In a saucepan, add olive oil, onion, garlic, basil, and a 15 ounce can of fire roasted diced tomatoes (can substitute regular diced tomatoes). To assemble: on a sheet pan, place two grilled chicken breasts. Top each breast with 2 slices of eggplant, a healthy sprinkling of grated parmesean cheese, some sauce, another piece of chicken, 2 more eggplant slices, more parmesean cheese, more sauce, and 3 slices of smoked buffalo mozzarella cheese (can substitute regular, fresh mozzarella). Place under the broiler until the cheese is melted.
This makes two GIGANTIC portions. You can cut them in half to feed four if you’re having side dishes. If you’re going low-carb you may want the whole thing, so double the recipe if you’re feeding 4 people.
