Oven Chicken Cacciatore

Chicken cacciatore with carrots, potatoes and

sausage makes this a great one-pot complete

dinner. It's a family favorite pot luck recipe

from my nieces. It's so easy to put everything

together and just pop it in the oven.

I love dinners like this.

Everything is prepped ahead of time and it makes

your whole house smell wonderful.

You can use any chicken pieces you want,
or use a whole cut-up chicken and increase

the other ingredients depending on how many
people you are feeding.

No need to measure the seasonings,
just be generous.

Add the cut-up vegetables.

Combine the tomato sauce and water.

Pour the sauce over.

Cover tightly with foil and bake for
1 hour at 350 then 1 hour at 275.

The chicken and sausage stewing in the

tomato sauce gives it lots of flavor.

Here it is using a whole cut-up chicken.
This is how I usually make it. Plenty of
leftovers for us. A great fall
and winter dinner

Oven Chicken Cacciatore

2 large chicken breast halves
or cut-up pieces, skinned

4 Italian sausage links, cut in half

4 carrots, peeled

4 potatoes, scrubbed not peeled

1 L yellow, red, or orange pepper

1 t Italian seasoning

1 t salt

1/2 t pepper

1 L can (16-oz) tomato sauce

1 can water

Lay the chicken in a 9x13 casserole. Sprinkle with

about half of the seasonings. No need to measure.

Add the sausage. Cut the vegetables into large

chunks; add to the casserole. Sprinkle with the

remaining seasonings. Combine the tomato sauce

and water; pour over all and cover tightly with

foil. Bake for 1 hour at 350 then reduce to 275

and bake another 1 hour. To make serving easier;

remove the bone from the chicken breast and

cut in half. Serve 1/2 chicken breast with

sausage, vegetables, and plenty of sauce.

....4 servings....

Enjoy!

Parmesan Crusted Chicken

This is a quick and easy chicken recipe.

It's another one of my 'Chicken for Dummies'.

When my grandson calls at the last minute and

wants to know what he can do with a couple of

chicken breasts and just a few other ingredients,

I need to be ready!

Lay the chicken breasts in a shallow pan.

(Do not crowd the chicken like the above photo.)

Give it some room and season as desired.
These were large breasts that I cut in half.

Combine the mayonnaise and grated parmesan
cheese in a small bowl.

Spread on the mayo-parm mixture; then sprinkle
a little breadcrumbs on top.

Now to make a complete dinner super easy

you can roast some cut-up potatoes and fresh

vegetables along with the chicken. Just toss them

in olive oil with a little seasonings.

Dinner is in the oven!

Bake at 350 for about 30 minutes; (or
(or at 375 for 25 minutes)
until cooked through and browned.

How easy is that?!

You can adjust the recipe to make 1 or 12.
This works on fish too; just bake
for about 10 minutes @425.

The chicken stays moist and juicy.

Parmesan Crusted Chicken

Mustard Chicken

Chicken breasts coated in mustard and french-fried
onions is about as simple as can be.

It's very tasty, yet you can't quite identify

the ingredients if you didn't know what they were.

Just two ingredients with your chicken.
(I used two breasts and cut the recipe in half
for just the two of us.)
I flattened the chicken breast slightly
and cut them in half.

Season with House Seasoning and
spread both sides with mustard.

Coat the chicken on both sides with the crushed
onions, pressing on until well coated.

Put into a sprayed shallow casserole.
You can refrigerate here for 30 or more minutes.

Bake at 400 for about 20-25 minutes.

Serve!

Mustard Chicken
4 skinless chicken breasts
1 C mustard
6 oz can French-fried onions
House Seasoning
Flatten chicken slightly to get them even.
Season and spread both sides with mustard.
Dredge both side in crushed onions, pressing in.
Put in a sprayed shallow casserole.
Bake @400 for 20-25 minutes.
Enjoy!
