CHICKEN IN LEMON BUTTER CAPER SAUCE

by Rebecca June 6, 2022
written by Rebecca

Prep Time: 5 mins | Cook Time: 25 mins | Total Time: 30 mins | Yield: 4 people

Whip this restaurant-quality meal in under thirty minutes and enjoy lush chicken in a delicious lemon butter caper sauce over pasta, polenta, cooked pasta, or mashed potatoes. It is a very impressive meal that you can easily and quickly make at any time!

Ingredients

Chicken:

olive oil

4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves (or use cutlets)

⅓ c. flour

2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

8 ounces angel hair pasta, cooked and drained

salt and pepper

Sauce:

2 garlic cloves, minced

12 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into 1⁄2” pieces, divided

⅓ c. Pinot Grigio wine I used Cavit

2 tablespoons finely chopped yellow onion

3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

1/4 c. capers, rinsed

kosher salt

Pepper

HOW TO MAKE CHICKEN IN LEMON BUTTER CAPER SAUCE

Chicken:

Step 1: In halves horizontally, cut the chicken, butterflying them open. Using a meat hammer, pound the pieces of chicken to about 1/4-inch thickness.

Step 2: Combine the flour, salt, pepper, and grated Parmesan until well mixed. In the flour mixture, dredge the chicken cutlets, coating them well.

Step 3: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the chicken to the skillet and sear for about 3 minutes on each side until well browned. To a plate, transfer the chicken when done and tent using aluminum foil to keep them warm.

Sauce:

Step 4: In a medium pan, melt 1 tbsp butter over medium heat. To the melted butter, add the onion and cook for about 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion is translucent. Next, add the garlic and continue to cook for another 30 seconds.

Step 5: Pour in the wine and lemon juice. Bring everything to a boil over high heat. Continue to cook for another 5 minutes until the liquid is reduced to around 2 tbsp.

Step 6: Adjust the heat to very low, then gradually stir in the butter, one piece at a time, allowing the first addition to melting before adding more butter. To taste, season with salt and pepper. Lastly, stir in the capers.

To Serve:

Step 7: On a plate or pasta bowl, place the cooked pasta and top with chicken. Over the chicken and pasta, spoon the sauce. Enjoy!

Notes:

The chicken pairs great with polenta, cooked pasta, or mashed potatoes, too.

You can keep the sauce at room temperature for up to 2 hours. To prevent the sauce from separating, make sure to reheat it over very low heat.

If desired, prep the sauce first before pan-searing the chicken.

This is a very popular dish served in Italian restaurants. Tender and juicy chicken Spiendini with Amogio sauce served over pasta. Whip this up any time for a filling meal that your entire family will surely love!

Ingredients

Chicken Spiedini:

2 tbsp olive oil

2 tbsp butter

2 lbs. chicken breasts, skinless and boneless

1/3 c Parmesan cheese, grated

2 tsp lemon zest

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 c. bread crumbs

1 tbsp fresh Italian parsley

Amogio Sauce:

1/2 c. butter

1 c. olive oil

1 tbsp garlic

1 tbsp parsley

1/2 c. lemon juice

1 tbsp basil, chopped

1/2 tsp red chili pepper flakes

1/2 tsp each salt & pepper

How to make Chicken Spiedini with Amogio Sauce

Chicken Spiedini:

Step 1: Grate the Parmesan cheese and zest of lemon in a Microplane. Then, chop the parsley and chop or press the garlic.

Step 2: In a shallow bowl, place the cheese, lemon zest, bread crumbs, parsley, and garlic. Mix well until combined and set aside.

Step 3: In a gallon plastic bag, place the chicken and gently pound using a meat mallet to about 1/4-1/2-inch thickness. Then, slice the chicken into 1 1/2 width strips to make 12 pieces.

Step 4: Add the olive oil to a shallow bowl. Melt the butter and add to the bowl with olive oil.

Step 5: Dip each chicken strip in the butter/oil mixture, then dredge in breadcrumbs, evenly coating the chicken. Individually roll 3 chicken strips into a ball, then prick with a skewer. Set aside. For the chicken to fit in the baking pan, just cut the excess kabob. For this recipe, I use a rectangular baker.

Amogio Sauce:

Step 6: Whisk the extra-virgin olive oil, butter, lemon juice, salt, pepper, garlic, fresh chopped parsley and basil, and red pepper, chili flakes in a medium saucier pan over medium heat until the mixture starts to boil. Then, quickly take the pan off the heat.

Step 7: Over the chicken skewers, spoon just enough Amogio sauce to cover the bottom of the baking pan.

Step 8: Bake in a preheated 400 degrees F for about 15 minutes. Flip the chicken and resume baking for additional 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and tip the pan upward very carefully. Spoon some of the Amogio sauce and drizzle it over the chicken. Place in the oven and bake for 15 minutes more.

Step 9: Following the package directions, cook the Angel Hair Pasta. Drain when done and return to the pan. Over the pasta, pour the Amogio sauce and toss well. Transfer the pasta to a serving dish. Serve with the chicken. Enjoy!

TACO QUICHE

by Rebecca June 6, 2022
written by Rebecca

Yield: 4 people

This taco quiche is a very simple dish. It is packed with flavor. A freezer-friendly dish that is loaded with taco meat, salsa, and cheese. For a fun twist, top the quiche with your preferred taco toppings.

Ingredients

3 large eggs

½ pound ground beef

½ c. salsa

2 tablespoons taco seasoning

½ c. shredded cheddar cheese

1 c. milk

1 (9”) deep-dish frozen pie crust

2 tablespoons sour cream

HOW TO MAKE TACO QUICHE

Step 1: Prepare the oven. Preheat it to 350 degrees F.

Step 2: Cook the ground beef in a skillet until browned. Drain any excess grease. Then, add the taco seasoning and salsa. Continue to cook for another 2 to 3 minutes or until most of the liquid has been absorbed.

Step 3: Into the bottom of a pie crust, spoon the ground beef mixture, and top with shredded cheddar cheese.

Step 4: Mix the eggs, milk, and sour cream until well combined, then pour this over the taco mixture.

Step 5: Place in the preheated oven and bake for about an hour. Remove from the oven when done and let the quiche rest for about 5 to 10 minutes.

Step 6: Serve and enjoy!

Notes:

You can swap ground beef with ground turkey.

I make this recipe even without thawing the pie crust.

If desired, use refrigerated or homemade pie crust.

I use a 9-inch deep-dish pie plate.

You are welcome to add onions, green pepper, black beans, or corn to the quiche.

Tent the edges of the pie crust using foil if they begin to get brown quickly.

Feel free to assemble the quiche in advance and keep it in the fridge overnight.

Make this quiche in advance and freeze either unbaked or baked.

To freeze unbaked, assemble the quiche and flash freeze. Then, place in a freezer bag and freeze. Thaw in the fridge and bake as directed.

Let the baked quiche cool fully before wrapping the pie plate in plastic wrap and aluminium foil, then freeze. Thaw in the fridge and reheat in the microwave or oven.

You can omit the pie crust and make a crustless quiche for a low-carb and keto-friendly meal. And simply bake on a baking dish or deep-dish pie plate.

Store the quiche in the fridge, covered, for up to 3 to 4 days.

In an airtight plastic container or Ziplocks, store leftovers and keep them in the fridge.

Step 1: In a pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once the butter has melted, add the onions and cook for about 1 hour or until deep golden, stirring often. As needed, slightly, add water or broth to deglaze the pan.

Step 2: Add the garlic along with the thyme and flour. Continue to cook for a minute more while stirring.

Step 3: Pour in half of the broth. Deglaze the pan and bring everything to a boil. Then, decrease the heat and let the mixture simmer for about 5 minutes.

Step 4: In the meantime, heat the oil in a different pan over medium-high heat. Sprinkle the chicken with salt and pepper. Once the oil is hot, add the chicken to the pan and cook for about 4 to 5 minutes on each side until browned. Set aside when done,

Step 5: To the pan after removing the chicken, pour in the rest of the broth. Deglaze the pan and stir in the balsamic vinegar and mustard. Bring everything to a boil, then decrease the heat. Simmer for about 5 minutes until the mixture has reduced by half.

Step 6: In an oven-safe pan, place the onions and top with the chicken and broth from the pan. Put the lid on or tent with foil and place in a 350 degrees F or 1802 degrees C preheated oven. Bake for about 20 minutes. Remove from the oven after 20 minutes and sprinkle with cheese. Broil for approximately 2 to 4 minutes until the cheese has melted.

Option:

To easily make this a one-pan meal, add 8 ounces of pasta and 2 1/4 c broth or water to the sauce in step 6. Or add 1 c. rice and 2 c broth/water instead.

Ingredients

Homemade Condensed Cream of Chicken Soup, an equivalent amount

1 c. Sour Cream

2 1/2 to 3 pounds Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts (I use 4 large breasts)

1 can Cream of Chicken Soup (10 3/4 oz., condensed) – or make

8 ounces can Mushroom drained (stems and pieces – or use fresh) – optional

1 can Cream of Mushroom Soup (10 3/4 oz., condensed ) – or make Homemade Condensed Cream Of Mushroom Soup, using an equivalent amount

1/2 tsp Onion Powder

1/2 c. Water

1 tsp chives (chopped)

Salt and Pepper to taste

Few dashes of Paprika

HOW TO MAKE CREAMY CHICKEN BAKE

Step 1: Prepare the oven. Preheat it to 350 degrees F. Using non-stick cooking spray, grease a 9 x 13-inch dish (or similar size dish).

Step 2: In the prepared baking dish, place the chicken breasts in a single layer and lightly season with salt and pepper.

Step 3: Place the soups, sour cream, onion powder, mushrooms, chives, and water in a medium-sized bowl. Mix well until combined. Over the chicken, evenly pour the mixture and lightly sprinkle with paprika. Bake on the middle rack of the preheated oven for about 1 hour, uncovered, until the chicken breast is completely cooked and the internal temperature reaches 165 to 170 degrees F. Note that the cooking time of the chicken varies depending on the size.

Step 4: Remove from the oven when done and serve the creamy chicken bake immediately alongside your preferred veggies (such as broccoli or green beans) and rice or noodles. Do not forget to spoon the creamy sauce over the rice/noodles. Enjoy!

TIPS:

If desired, sprinkle with extra chives before serving.

For this recipe, you can also use leftover cooked turkey/chicken and rotisserie chicken. Simply reduce the cooking time.

IMPOSSIBLE QUICHE (CRUSTLESS HAM AND CHEESE QUICHE)

by Rebecca June 4, 2022
written by Rebecca

Prep time: 10 mins | Cook time: 40 mins | Total time: 50 mins | Yield: 8

This quiche is a delicious dish that you can serve for breakfast, lunch, or even dinner. Very light, delightful, and loved by everyone. If you have leftover ham, this recipe is perfect to use them up.

INGREDIENTS

4 eggs

100 grams / 3.5 ounces Ham, diced

½ c. Parmesan Cheese, grated

1 ¼ c. Cheddar Cheese, grated

1 Brown Onion, diced

1 ½ c. Milk

⅓ c Self-Raising Flour

Salt & Pepper, to taste

HOW TO MAKE IMPOSSIBLE QUICHE (CRUSTLESS HAM AND CHEESE QUICHE)

Step 1: Prepare the oven. Preheat it to 200 degrees C or 390 degrees F. Ready a 9 x 12-inches or 22.5 x 3.1 cm pie tray. Grease and set aside.

Step 2: In a small frying pan, heat the oil. Then, add the onion and cook until translucent.

Step 3: In a bowl, place 1 c shredded cheddar cheese, Parmesan cheese, ham, onion, flour, salt, and pepper. Mix well until blended, then pour this into the prepared pie dish.

Step 4: In another bowl, whisk the eggs and milk. Pour this over the pie dish and sprinkle it with the rest of the shredded cheddar cheese. Place inside the preheated oven and bake for about 40 minutes or until golden and completely cooked.

Step 5: Remove from the oven when done and serve the quiche warm or cold. Enjoy!

NOTES:

FLOUR:

You can sub the self-raising flour with a mixture of plain/all-purpose flour and baking powder. 1 c flour is equivalent to 2 tsp baking powder. I use only 1/3 c plain/all-purpose and 1 tsp baking powder for this recipe.

TIPS:

Frying the onion brings out more flavor. But you can add the onion into the mixture without frying it.

You can add veggies to the quiche, such as finely diced capsicum/bell peppers or grated zucchini.

Use bacon in place of ham. Before adding to the rest of the ingredients, fry the onion and bacon first.
