PECAN CRUSTED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Place a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
• Lightly beat the eggs in a wide, shallow bowl or pie plate and set aside.
• In a food processor, pulse the pecans until they form fine crumbs (but don't over-process or they will turn into pecan butter). Place the mixture in a large, sturdy ziptop bag.
• To the bag, add the breadcrumbs, basil, salt, and pepper. Seal the top and shake to combine.
• Place the chicken on a cutting board and cover it with a large sheet of plastic wrap. With a meat tenderizer, rolling pin, or your fist, pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness. They need not be super thin-just flatten the middle so that the chicken is relatively flat and will bake more evenly.
• Working one chicken breast at a time, dip the chicken in the egg wash, then place in the ziptop bag and shake to coat with the pecan mixture. Gently press the pecan mixture so that it sticks to the chicken, then lay the chicken on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with remaining chicken breasts.
• Drizzle the olive oil over the top of the chicken. Bake until the chicken reaches 160 to 165 degrees F on an instant read thermometer, about 15 to 20 minutes. Remove to a plate and let rest 5 minutes. Chicken is considered cooked at 165 degrees F, but I like to remove mine several degrees early and let the carryover cooking to finish the rest (this ensures the chicken breast is juicy and does not overcook).
• While the chicken bakes, prepare the sauce: In a small bowl, stir together the Greek yogurt, both mustards, honey, salt, and cayenne. Taste and adjust the seasoning as desired.
• Enjoy the pecan crusted chicken hot, with the dipping sauce.

STRAWBERRY BASIL CHICKEN

Steps:

• Begin by heating a large skillet to medium heat.
• Prepare your chicken breasts: you may need to pound the breast to make them a bit thinner, mine were approximately 1 inch. While the skillet is heating up, marinate the chicken with garlic and balsamic vinegar.
• Add oil to the pan. Cook for 3-5 minutes per side (until golden brown, but cooked through). Set aside.
• Meanwhile, prepare the topping. Toss together strawberries and basil. Top each chicken breast with strawberry mixture, and salt and pepper to taste. Add additional balsamic vinegar or balsamic glaze* if desired. Serve immediately.

STRAWBERRY BALSAMIC CHICKEN

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, stir together the yogurt, 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar, sugar, pepper, cinnamon and salt. Place chicken breast halves in a shallow baking dish, and pour the sauce over them. Refrigerate for 1 hour, turning chicken over half way through.
• Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Scrape the marinade off of the chicken breasts, and place them into the hot oil. Quickly brown the chicken on both sides, then reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and cook until chicken is no longer pink and juices run clear, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat, and let rest for 3 minutes.
• While the chicken is cooking, transfer the marinade to a saucepan. Bring to a low simmer over medium heat. Remove stems from strawberries, and slice thinly so they will fan nicely. Set aside.
• Slice chicken breasts on the diagonal into 1/2 inch thick slices. Place on serving plates, and sprinkle with lemon juice. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the marinade over each chicken breast, and fan one sliced strawberry over the top. Garnish with a sprinkle of fresh mint and parsley. If you really love balsamic vinegar, finish the dish off with an artful drizzle.

ALMOND CRUSTED CHICKEN WITH A STRAWBERRY BALSAMIC SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat the over to 350. In a food processor, process almonds for 1-2 minutes to a chunky bread crumb consistency. Set aside.
• Lightly pound chicken breast into 1/2" - 1" pieces. The easiest way to do this is to cover the chicken breast with saran wrap using the smooth side of a kitchen mallet.
• Dip chicken into a bowl containing the egg white, followed by dipping the chicken into the almond mixture. Coat each chicken breast with almond crumbs on each side. Place is a glass baking dish. Bake chicken for 30-35 minutes.
• For the strawberry sauce, combine the strawberries, sugar, and balsamic in a food processor. Place strawberry mixture in a stove top pan and add chicken broth, cornstarch and rosemary. Bring to a low boil and then reduce heat. Simmer for 5 minutes.
• Top tender chicken breasts with the strawberry balsamic sauce and garnish with extra fresh rosemary. Bon Appetit!

CHICKEN WITH STRAWBERRY SAUCE

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• 2. Prepare the chicken breasts for baking, using a non-stick cooking spray on a baking pan. Pat the meat dry.
• 3. Lightly sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper.
• 4. Bake chicken for 20 minutes on one side.
• 5. While chicken bakes, mix cornstarch, sugar, nutmeg, pepper with 1/2 cup of water. Mix well.
• 6. Add strawberries and wine to sauce. Bring to a boil.
• 7. Once sauce is boiling, reduce heat, simmer about 5 minutes then add the mint.
• 8. When the chicken had baked for 20 minutes, turn it over and sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper and continue to bake for 15 - 20 more minutes, until internal temperature reads 165 degrees F.
• 9. When chicken is 165 degrees F, brush with SOME of the sauce (I use 1/4 or less) and continue to bake for 5 - 7 more minutes.
• 10. Spoon more of the sauce over and serve. (I think white rice or wild rice is perfect under this!)
• 11. Any left over sauce (we always have some) can be served over ice cream (hey, it's no weirder than over chicken!). We are also going to try it over baked brie.
