What are some easy chicken recipes?
Now that my bf and I live on our own, we need to come up with dinners each night. We have the basic dinners…i.e. tacos, pizza, steak & potatoes…etc etc.
I also want to know how to make chicken roulade? There are so many recipes on it, but I want a simple one. It’s a chicken “roll”, right? You can put stuffing and apples and grapes in it?

Do you have a crock pot?
I love to throw a whole chicken in the crockpot on low for 8 hours. You just remove the innards, rinse it, throw it in the crock, cover it with a season salt or garlic powder/salt or just salt and pepper, put the lid on, turn it to low. Do not open for 8 hours. Remove it and eat! It’s soooo good and moist. Whole chickens are fairly inexpensive too.

Yes you can stuff what ever you like into the roll.Cheese,vegetables…
Radicchio and Mushroom Chicken Roulade
Ingredients
Serves 2
* 2 boneless, skinless chichen breast halves
* Coarse salt
* 1 small head radicchio, cored, leaves separated
* 3 tablespoon unsalted butter
* 2 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
* 3 shallots, finely chopped
* 8 ounces shiitake mushrooms (half chopped, half cut into 1/2-inch thick slices)
* 1 chicken liver (reserved from Stuffed Noodle Soup), finely chopped
* 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh sage
* Freshly ground pepper
* 1/2 cup Marsala wine
* 1/4 cup freshly shredded mozzarella cheese
* 10 cipollini or pearl onions, peeled
* 1/4 cup chicken stock (reserved from Stuffed Noodle Soup)
Directions
1. Using a chef’s knife and starting on 1 long side, slice open chicken horizontally, stopping about 1/2 inch before reaching opposite side. Open each like a book, and place between 2 pieces of plastic wrap. Pound with the flat side of a meat mallet to 1/4 inch thick. Refrigerate in plastic until ready to use.
2. Prepare an ice-water bath; set aside. Bring a medium pot of water to a boil; add 1 tablespoon salt. Add radicchio, and cook 30 seconds. Using a slotted spoon, transfer to ice-water bath to cool. Transfer radicchio to a plate lined with paper towels, and pat dry. Remove tough core from each leaf. Set radicchio aside.
3. Heat a medium saute pan over high heat. Add 1 tablespoon each butter and oil. Add shallots, and stir. Add chopped mushrooms, chicken liver, sage, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Cook, stirring, until liver is no longer pink, 2 to 3 minutes. Add 1/4 cup Marsala, and cook until liquid has evaporated, about 30 seconds. Set aside to cool.
4. Remove top layer of plastic from chicken. Season with salt and pepper. Spread half the mushroom mixture over one breast, leaving a 1/4-inch border. Place 3 or 4 radicchio leaves over mushroom mixture. Sprinkle with half the cheese. Using plastic wrap to lift and guide chicken, roll up; twist plastic at both ends. Repeat with remaining breast. Refrigerate at least 1 hour (up to 3).
5. Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Unwrap chicken bundles; tie with kitchen twine. Season with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon butter and the remaining tablespoon oil in an 8-inch ovenproof skillet over high heat. Place chicken, seam side up, in skillet. Add cipollini. Cook, turning chicken and stirring cipollini occasionally, until chicken is brown on all sides. Add remaining 1/4 cup Marsala and the stock. Cook, swirling pan occasionally, until slightly reduced, about 30 seconds.
6. Cover, and transfer pan to oven. Bake until chicken has cooked through, about 15 minutes. Transfer chicken and cipollini to a plate. Wipe out pan; place over high heat. Add remaining tablespoon butter. Add sliced mushrooms, and cook, stirring, until golden, 2 to 3 minutes.
7. Remove twine from chicken. Thinly slice chicken crosswise, and serve with cipollini and sauteed mushrooms.

Roasting chicken is great. Here is my favorite recipe. Super easy and you can serve with roasted potatoes and a salad:
Herb Roasted Chicken Breast
2 – 16 to 24 oz bone-in chicken breast
2 tablespoons butter, room temperature
1 teaspoon oregano
1 teaspoon Mrs. Dash garlic & Herb Seasoning
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
Olive Oil
Preheat oven 425 degrees. Remove any excess fat from chicken, set aside.
Mix butter with oregano, Mrs. Dash, Pepper & Salt. Gently lift skin and add 1/4 butter mixture, spread evenly under skin, use another 1/3 of the mixture to coat underside and tender side of chicken breast. Repeat with second breast.
Place chicken in glass baking dish, lightly coat with olive oil. Place in oven cook uncovered 20 minutes.
Lower oven temperature to 350 degrees, cook 15 minutes. Remove from oven, tent with foil, rest 10 minutes.

Chicken Broccoli Alfredo
basic white sauce :i.e., a half cup each of butter flour to make a roux . add 4 cups milk, salt and pepper to taste, stir constantly until milk starts to bubble and thicken add Parmesan cheese I use A LOT like a cup or more but you can add to taste. Remove from heat.
In a large pot boil salted water, add broccoli cook until tender use a slotted spoon and take the broccoli out and place in a strainer. Place a pound of Penne or linguine in the same pot you just cooked broccoli in [to save dishes, and clean up time, and you don’t even have to change the water =.)] follow directions on the box.
Cut your chicken into 1 inch cubes and cook slowly over medium to medium high heat adding pats of butter ( you will see a lot of liquid collect in the bottom of the frying pan it’s okay to drain that in the sink. just add a little more butter after.) When the chicken is cooked, you can add the broccoli on top of the cooked chicken, if you start the chicken right when you put the water on for the first time it should finish up about the same time the pasta needs to be strained. Use the strainer you had the broccoli in and strain your pasta. If you want to save on dishes and only use one pot, leave the pasta in the strainer and make your sauce.
You can serve it layering it pasta on bottom, white sauce, broccoli and chicken on top. But my family likes it if I mix all together if that is the case you can just put the pasta and the chicken and broccoli in the large pot you used to make the white sauce, boil the broccoli and pasta.

Lemon Pepper Chicken with a side of risotto
A roulade doesn’t need to be fancy or difficult the hardest part is butterflying the chicken breast, the only way to get good at that is the practice. If you didn’t want to be bothered by making rice or homemade stuffing you could probably get away with using stove top in all reality, along with some veggies to liven the taste a little, or you could stuff it with ham, and Swiss cheese for a take on chicken cordon bleu.
If you would like any other recipes feel free to ask!

The simplest thing to do with chicken is just grill it with some seasonings like garlic, pepper and salt. However, doing that over and over gets boring.
I’ve done both recipes on this link and they are very tasty and easy to throw together.
