CHICKEN RECIPES

[RUSTYSMOM]

i WOULD APPREICIATE SOME IDEAS FOR INTERSTING CHICKEN DINNER RECIPES USING CHICKEN BREASTS. I HAVE TRIED THE RASBERRY CHICKEN, THE BALSAMIC CHICKEN WITH ALMONDS AND SOME OF THE STUFFED CHICKEN BREASTS RECIPES - WHICH ARE ALL EXCELLENT. ANY OTHER IDEAS?? I AM THINKING MAYBE A MARSALA OR SOMETHING WIHT ARTICHOLE HEARTS AND OR MUSHROOMS?? i AM OPEN.

Smothered Chicken is one of our family favorites! We use mushrooms, onions, and finish it off covered in cheese! It is wonderful and good during fall and winter!

Hi Ginny,

I wouldn't substitute the cream. I've made this dish a couple of times and its very good. I don't recall what the article said on why you shouldn't use half & half or milk - but there was a whole article (and several recipes) on using cream. The recipe is still low-fat even with using the cream, because you use it in moderation. I don't think it was so much taste as consistency or perhaps if its not cream it'll curdle when you cook it???? (can't recall exactly, sorry).

I keep to a fairly strict low-fat diet and don't have a problem working this dish into my menu. My only concern is using the left-over cream. The second time I made the fricasse dish I scheduled the next week the Parmesan-crusted chicken with Apples and Leeks which was also from the cream article - another very good chicken recipe and great for Fall.

I just made the parmesan crusted chicken with apples and leeks. Very, very tasty. Other than my four year old not being thrilled with the texture of the leeks--it was a hit. I know the "sticking to the pan" issue came up before and I think I will just add the parmesan to the sauce next time and saute the chicken "naked".

On another note--a couple weeks ago I made the reader recipe from (August??) of Chicken Bruschetta. I found it quite delicious as did my family. I used the leftover sauce as an actual bruschetta topping the next night and it was super.

I found the recipe for the much admired "Chicken Fricassee with Orzo" only to realize it's made with whipping cream. Since I'm trying to cook "low fat",do you think it would change the recipe's taste too much to substitute something for the heavy cream - - possibly evaporated skim milk - ?
