Does your family love chicken? Mine does, but it's so easy to get sucked into preparing repetitive recipes. I started hunting around for new recipes in an attempt to reignite my family's taste for chicken—and boy did I get lucky! I found some really great recipes, but my family's three favorites have been included in this article. I hope you, too, will take the initiative to try new recipes, especially if it means finding a new family favorite!
Chicken and Broccoli Casserole
5 cups cooked, shredded chicken breast 1/4 cup all-purpose flour 3 tablespoons butter 1 yellow onion, chopped 6 ounces egg noodles 3/4 cup milk 1 1/2 cups chicken broth 1 cup shredded provolone cheese 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese 1 (10 ounce) package chopped frozen broccoli, thawed salt and pepper to taste
Bring a large pan of water to boil, then cook the noodles in the boiling water for about 8 - 10 minutes. Drain the noodles. Grease a 9 x 13 inch dish and preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. In a frying pan, melt the butter over a medium heat and sauté the onion for about 3 minutes, then mix in the flour. Keep stirring while you add the chicken broth and milk. Stir continuously until the sauce thickens. Add salt and pepper. Pour the noodles into the bottom of the dish, then top with chicken. Place the broccoli on top of the chicken, then pour the sauce on top. Mix the cheeses together, then sprinkle half of the mixture over the casserole. Bake for about 20 minutes (or until the cheese has melted). Remove from the oven and sprinkle the rest of the cheese on top. Let it sit for about 5 minutes so the additional cheese has a chance to melt.
Chicken and Noodle Stir Fry
1 pound chicken breasts cut into chunks 1 tablespoon vegetable oil 1 package chicken flavored ramen noodles 1 cup cauliflower florets 1 cup broccoli florets 1 cup coarsely chopped cabbage 1 cup sliced celery 2 carrots, thinly sliced 1/2 cup fresh or canned bean sprouts 1 onion, thinly sliced 1/2 cup teriyaki or soy sauce
Cook the Ramen noodles according to the directions on the package (set the seasoning packet aside). While that's cooking, heat the oil in a skillet or wok, then add the chicken. Stir fry this for about 5 minutes or until fully cooked. Add in the vegetables and stir fry for another 4 minutes or so, then remove from heat. Drain the noodles and add the seasoning to them, stirring well. Add the stir fry to the noodles and pour in the teriyaki or soy sauce. Mix well and serve.
Lemon Chicken Breasts
4 chicken breast halves (skinless and boneless) 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard 1/4 cup olive oil 1/3 cup lemon juice 2 tablespoons finely chopped red bell pepper 2 large cloves garlic, finely chopped 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
In a medium-sized bowl, mix together the Dijon mustard, olive oil, lemon juice, red bell pepper, garlic, salt, and pepper. Scoop out 1/4 cup of this mixture and set aside—this will be used for basting. In the medium bowl, place the chicken breasts in the mixture and refrigerate for 20 minutes or so. Once the chicken has marinated, preheat a grill at a high heat, lightly oiling the grill grate. Drain the remaining marinade and put the chicken on the grill. Cook for about 8 minutes on each side, checking to make sure that it is fully cooked. Baste intermittently with the 1/4 cup reserved marinade.
