Rescue chicken....Well one night we had a chicken dish that just was not working. The next night we dressed it up with this pesto-like recipe. Success!
Rescue Chicken
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 cup packed fresh basil leaves
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- salt / pepper to taste
- 1 1/2 Tbs vegetable oil
- 6 boneless chicken breasts
Directions:
- In food processor blend: sun-dried tomatoes, garlic, and basil
- add Parmesan cheese, salt / pepper to taste and blend
- preheat oven to 350
- heat oil in skillet over medium heat
- season chicken with pepper
- brown chicken on both sides (can skip this step if prefer to just bake)
- transfer chicken to greased casserole dish
- place half the blended mix on the chicken
- cook in oven for 15 minutes (time depends on how long chicken was browned)
- add remaining mix to chicken and cook 5 more minutes until done
*I like to save some of the blended mix and and top the chicken before serving
** You can use any chicken you desire: Bone in, bone out, skin on, skin off....
