Chicken breast recipe in red sauce?

Chicken breast recipe in red sauce





I鈥檓 looking for a really easy way to just open a jar of good sauce and throw in uncooked chicken and put it in the oven. Can this be done and if so on what temp and for how long?





I know it鈥檚 a copout but I like chicken and need recipes that just tell you to add a few ingredients and put raw chicken in the oven and you get a decent tasting meal.





Any info and input would be greatly appreciated.Chicken breast recipe in red sauce?

Categories : Poultry Entree Grilling





Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method


-------- ------------ --------------------------------


2 red bell peppers


2 small eggplant


(Italian or Chinese)


2 tablespoons olive oil -- (2 to 4)


4 skinless boneless chicken breasts halves


1 onion -- sliced


1 garlic clove -- chopped


1/4 cup red wine vinegar -- or white


fresh herbs -- as noted





HERBS: 1 to 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh herbs, such as thyme or- parsley. To Roast Peppers: Place the peppers on the grill or under the broiler, turning them, until charred all over, nearly black. Remove and place in a plastic bag to steam off skin. When cool enough to handle, remove charred skin and seed them.





Preheat the grill or broiler. Halve the eggplant, score in 2 or 3 places, and brush with some of the oil. Place on the grill, cut side towards the heat. Turn after 5 minutes. Cook until almost soft. Add the chicken breasts and cook 3 minutes on each side, until done. Remove to a plate. Heat the remaining oil in a large frying pan until singing. Add the onion and garlic, and cook until soft. Puree the peppers and vinegar in a food processor or blender until smooth. Add the puree, eggplants, and chicken to the frying pan, and heat together, about 5 minutes. Place the chicken mixture on a platter surrounded by the eggplant and sauce. Sprinkle with the herbs.

HOME MADE PASTA SAUCE with chicken breasts


(do not use that awful jar sauce)


do this once and you'll have sauce with chicken breasts for a lot of meals.





In a hot stock pot put,


:


3 tbsp oil


*oregano,


a few shakes of hot crushed pepper flakes ,


*lots of garlic,


*basil,


2 chopped onions,


3 bay leaves,


6 links hot Italian sausage sliced into rounds, brown the sausage,with all the seasonings, maybe 20 minutes or so!





* = all to your taste, but at least start off with 1/8th of cup ( half of a 1/4 cup measuring spoon)





1 package of sliced mushrooms (10 ozs.)


Add 4 large cans of crushed tomatoes, 4 large cans of tomato sauce, 1 large can of tomato paste,


sliced mushrooms


add 4 to 6 boneless or bone-in skinless chicken breasts and 4 to 6 thick pork cutlets


Simmer the sauce for about 3 to 4 hours





put into containers and freeze.up to one year.


pour over pasta
You can do Chicken Cacciatore but you have to brown the chicken first... same with a healthy Chicken Parm. You can do a number of casseroles (chicken and rice, cheesy chicken, etc) and you should be ok.





Your chicken will look kind of gnarly if it's left to just boil in the sauce, but it definitely can be done. I would put it in the oven covered at 375 for an hour. Chicken cooked in liquid is very forgiving so you can even leave it in for a little longer if you want. Definitely add vegetables (onions, garlic, whatever you have that will go) or your chicken will taste terrible.





Be sure to add a little water to the sauce!
You can cook slice up the chicken and saute it with some vegetable or olive oil and then add it to the sauce.





OR you can put the sauce in a baking dish and top it with the chicken. Bake it at 350* for about 35 minutes.
I would COOK the chicken separately first and then add it to the sauce.
