The chicken challenge

Motherhood

Ready for a challenge?
I’m looking for more recipes, as it’s getting boring to do the same kinds over and over again. It’s always grilled with different spices or breaded with different crumbs.

I’m looking for recipes that are NOT sweet (no soy sauce, no ketchup, not even tomato sauce)
Also, we prefer chicken cutlets instead of chicken bottoms

Bonus: A recipe that’s not cutlets OR bottoms, but something like pulled chicken/meat sandwich

Start sauteing some onions cut up how you like, chunked carrots, celery, parsnip if you like, potatoes and/or sweet potatoes. Add in chunks of raw chicken, sprinkle in some dill and garlic, and then pour chicken broth over and let it cook for about an hour until it's all soft. The broth should provide a little liquid but not so much that you serve it as a soup. You can serve with egg noodles. We call it chicken soup without the soup...

Heat up a bit of sesame oil in a large pan. Add cubed raw chicken and stir fry until cooked through, adding a bit of salt and pepper to taste. Remove from pan. Add 2-3 crushed garlic. When it starts to brown, add a package of cleaned fresh snap peas. Stir until peas are bright green, then add chicken back in. Drizzle with hoisen sauce and serve over rice.

All in one chicken noodle soup:
Dice an onion very finely and sauté in a pot until soft. Add a stalk of finely diced celery, and a crushed garlic. Add a carrot or two chopped into thin rounds. When veggies are soft, add raw chicken that was sliced into thin strips (I use chicken scissors). When cooked through, add about 5 cups of water. When it comes to a boil, add a packet of Noodleman’s chicken soup mix with noodles inside. Continue cooking about a half hour.

Sautee onions or leek, and celery and mushrooms (I leave out celery). Set aside. Lightly coat cutlets in flour. Brown quickly on each side (I skip this part). Lay cutlets in pan. Pour over sautéed mixture. Cover in dry white wine (I a wine like pink Rashi). Bake at 350 for half hour. Bonus you an make this Pesachdik with potato flour.

Yes but in a 9x13 with a single layer of cutlets should be between 1-2 cups. I got this recipe from my sister in law and then gave it to my friend who is a caterer and she incorporated into her menu.

In bowl or ziplock bag: toss chicken cutlets with oil and rice crispies.

Bake on 350 for 10 min.

Drizzle honey over cutlets.

Continue baking for however long needed, depending on thickness of the cutlets .

*can be done with breadcrumbs or rice crispness as well.

This is an absolutely delicious recipe, quick, and easy.

this works well with dark chicken cutlets/baby chicken, or regular chicken cutlets/breast

preheat Mix about half cup mayo, 2-3 T cup soy sauce, 2 T onion soup mix. Add chicken cutlets. Bake at 425. chicken breast needs about 12-15 min, dark cutlets 20-25.
I like preheating the oven when I remember. It bakes faster and keeps more moist.

My ultra picky eaters love this, even better than fried shnitzel. They used to call it "the chicken that we ask for more and more, but have to leave some for Totty" LOL

Anon bec so many friends know what we call this!

Chicken tacos are really delicious. https://smittenkitchen.com/200.....hirt/

You can use this chicken for tacos, nachos, burritos.

My kids love make your own taco bowls for dinner.

I make bbq shredded chicken sandwiches regularly. Its a favorite dinner but you said no ketchup so is BBQ sauce ok? A different way to use shredded chicken is eggrolls. If you want an asian flavor without soy sauce you can use coconut aminos or just use nothing.

This is more or less just some spices, but its good enough to post anyway.

CHICKEN MARSALA

Sautee a chopped onion in olive oil. Coat chicken cutlets in starch -- I use potato starch, but you can use corn starch, flour, or even nothing at all. Brown the cutlets on one side, 5 minutes or so. Flip over, and add sliced mushrooms (I use a LOT and I use shitake or portabella), 1/2 cup marsala wine, 1/4 cup sherry. Cover and cook another 10 to 15 minutes.

CHICKEN WITH ARTICHOKES

Coat chicken in starch -- see above -- and brown on both sides in a large frying pan. Remove from pan and place in baking pan. Add artichoke hearts (lazy me found that Amazon sells them quartered, with a hecksher, canned -- I use 2 cans to about 7 or 8 cutlets) and some garlic (we use a LOT, but that's us). After about a minute, add 1/2 cup white wine, cook 2 to 3 minutes, add 1/4 cup chicken stock. Pour over chicken, and bake at 350 for about 20 minutes.

6-8 sun-dried tomatoes
Juice of 2 limes, or about 4 Tbsp
2 Tbsp olive oil
3-4 cloves garlic
Salt and pepper

Instructions
Rub chicken with salt and pepper.
Blend all ingredients in food processor. Pour over chicken and bake.
