Coat both sides of fish with the mixture and refrigerate for up to an hour. While the fish marinates prepare the Pineapple Salsa. Heat the remaining oil in a medium skillet. Add the yellow pepper and onion and sauté until soft about 4 minutes.

Aloha Chicken2 (M, TNT)
Source: "Quick & Healthy," Volume II by Brenda J. Ponichtera
Serves: 4
1 small can (8 oz) unsweetened pineapple slices, packed in juice
1 tsp. chopped garlic
1 tsp. cornstarch
1 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp. Dijon mustard
1/2 tsp. dried thyme
4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts (about 1 lb.)
Preheat oven to 400°F.
Drain pineapple, reserving the juice. Combine juice with garlic, cornstarch, Worcestershire, mustard and thyme.
Arrange chicken in an 8" x 8" pan that has been sprayed with non-stick cooking spray. Pour juice mixture over chicken and bake for 20 minutes. Spoon juices from pan over chicken.
Add a pineapple slice to each chicken piece and return to the oven for 5 minutes.
Poster's Note: I usually serve this with white rice and a vegetable on the side. It comes out perfect every time. I usually use a bigger can of pineapple because I like more juice in the sauce. I have also used different kinds of mustard, and sometimes substitute garlic powder for the real thing. It still turns out good.

Chicken Breasts w/Sun-Dried Tomatoes and Peas (M, TNT)

Serves: 6
6 boneless, skinless chicken half breasts
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/3 cup flour
6 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup chopped white onion
6 cloves garlic, thickly sliced
1-1/4 cups coarsely chopped sun-dried tomatoes packed in olive oil, drained before chopping
1/2 cup full-bodied red wine
1 cup tomato sauce
1 cup chicken stock
1-1/2 cups fresh or frozen peas
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoons chopped fresh Italian parsley
To prepare the chicken, remove the tenderloin from each half breast; you may freeze for later use. Cut the half breasts across the grain (widthwise) into three slices. Hold your knife at a 20° to 30° angle to the cutting board so that you slice on the bias and end up with oval scaloppine. You should get three scaloppine from each half breast. Pound them lightly between pieces of waxed paper or plastic wrap to a thickness of 1/4".
Sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Dust lightly with the flour, and shake off any excess. In a large saucepan, heat the olive oil over high heat, and quickly brown the chicken on both sides, 2 to 3 minutes per side. You will have to do this in batches. Remove from heat to a platter, and cover with foil to keep warm.
Add the onion, garlic, and sun-dried tomatoes to the oil in the pan. Sauté over medium-high heat until the onion is translucent and the garlic starts to brown, about 4 to 6 minutes. Add the wine, and sauté for 2 to 3 minutes, deglazing the pan to dislodge any browned bits from the bottom. Add the tomato sauce and stock, and bring to a boil. Add the peas, and simmer until the sauce is reduced by half, about 10 to 12 minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Return the chicken to the sauce until heated through, 2 to 3 minutes, sprinkle with the parsley, and serve.

CHICKEN THIGHS PORTABELLO AND SMASHED POTATOES
4 large starchy potatoes
Salt
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons margarine
6 cloves garlic, chopped, divided
1 red onion chopped
2 tablespoons vinegar, eyeball it
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, eyeball it
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, 1/3 palm full
3 tablespoons fresh rosemary, 4 to 5 sprigs, stripped and leaves chopped
4 large portabella mushroom caps, wiped clean with damp towel
1 1/2 pounds, 6 pieces or 1 package, boneless, skinless chicken thighs
Coarse black pepper
2 cubanelle (Italian light green peppers), seeded and thinly sliced
2 medium red onion, thinly sliced
1 (28-ounce) can or 2 (14-ounce) cans fire roasted diced tomatoes, lightly drained
Generous handful flat-leaf parsley, chopped

1/2c soymilk, eyeball it

Heat a grill pan or outdoor grill to high heat.
Peel up the taters and cut them into small chunks. Place potatoes in a pot and cover with cold water. Cover the pot and bring up to a boil over high heat. Uncover, add salt to season up the potatoes and cook until tender, about 15 minutes.
In a small pot over medium low heat and add vegetable oil, about 1 tablespoon – just eyeball it. Add 2 tablespoons margarine in small pieces. When margarine melts into oil, add 4 cloves of chopped garlic. Saute1 onion ,1 to 2 minutes, then add the garlic and cook 1 more minute, remove pan from heat and reserve.
Heat a medium nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
In a large bowl, combine vinegar, Worcestershire, crushed red pepper flakes, rosemary then whisk in about 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil, eyeball it. Turn portabella caps in marinade and transfer to a plate to reserve. Add chicken thighs to remaining marinade and coat evenly. Season 1 side of the chicken thighs, as well as the reserved mushroom caps with salt and pepper then transfer just the thighs to hot grill, seasoned side down. Season the opposite side of the chicken thighs and grill for 6 minutes on each side then transfer to a plate to rest. Add raw marinated mushroom caps to grill and top with a heavy skillet to press down on them as they grill. Cook 3 to 4 minutes on each side until, dark, tender and well-marked.
While chicken thighs and mushrooms cook, add a tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, a turn of the pan, to hot skillet. Add remaining 2 cloves of garlic, peppers and onions to the skillet season with salt and pepper and cook, tossing frequently, 7 to 8 minutes. Add tomatoes and parsley to the pan and toss to heat through, about 1 minute then remove from heat.
Thinly slice rested chicken thigh meat and grilled mushrooms.

Drain potatoes then return them to the hot pot to evaporate some of the water content. Add the reserved garlic and scallion mixture to the potatoes along with cup soymilk and smash away to combine potatoes(add any leftover virgin olive oil or margarine for flavor and texture as well as mayo .) Season the super-mashers with salt and pepper.
Pile up 1/4 of the potatoes on each plate. Top each pile with 1/4 of chicken, mushrooms and sauce and serve immediately. Garnish with fresh parsley on entire plate for nice effect.


The idea is the boneless chicken thighs should look like grilled steaks. See where the Rabbis got the idea that chicken meat looks like cow meat! This one even should taste like it!

CHICKEN MARSALA BY TYLER FLORENCE

4 skinless, boneless, chicken breasts (about 1 1/2 pounds)
All-purpose flour, for dredging
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
8 ounces crimini or porcini mushrooms, stemmed and halved
1/2 cup sweet Marsala wine(Red Wine)
1/2 cup chicken stock
2 tablespoon Margarine
1/4 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley
Put the chicken breasts side by side on a cutting board and lay a piece of plastic wrap over them; pound with a flat meat mallet, until they are about 1/4-inch thick. Put some flour in a shallow platter and season with a fair amount of salt and pepper; mix with a fork to distribute evenly.
Heat the oil over medium-high flame in a large skillet. When the oil is nice and hot, dredge both sides of the chicken cutlets in the seasoned flour, shaking off the excess, leaving a fine coat. Slip the cutlets into the pan and fry for 5 minutes on each side until golden, turning once – do this in batches if the pieces don't fit comfortably in the pan. Remove the chicken to a large platter in a single layer to keep warm.
Lower the heat to medium. Now, add the mushrooms and saute until they are nicely browned and their moisture has evaporated, about 5 minutes; season with salt and pepper. Pour the Marsala in the pan and boil down(should catch on fire) for a few seconds to cook out the alcohol. Add the chicken stock and simmer for a minute to reduce the sauce slightly. Stir in the margarine and return the chicken to the pan; simmer gently for 1 minute to heat the chicken through. Season with salt and pepper and garnish with chopped parsley before serving.

1 quart chicken broth or stock
3 or 4 fresh thyme sprigs
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Sauce:
1/2 bunch watercress
3 tablespoons margarine

1 yellow bell pepper
1 red bell pepper
2 bunches scallions, ends trimmed
1 tablespoon olive oil
3 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
4 tablespoons wine or sherry
4 tablespoons (2 ounces) margarine at room temperature
flour if necessary

1. Flatten the chicken breasts with a meat hammer or rolling pin and season them with salt and pepper.

2. Char the red and yellow pepper over a gas flame or under a hot broiler until the skin is completely burned. Wipe off the skin. Cut each pepper in half and remove the seeds, then cut into quarters.

3. In a saucepan, blanch the green part of 4 of the scallions.

4. Place 1 blanched scallion on the inside of chicken breast, then add a piece of the yellow pepper and a piece of the red pepper. Roll up the breast to enclose the peppers and secure with string. Season the outside with salt and pepper. Repeat with the remaining breasts.

5. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

6. Heat a large, heavy ovenproof skillet. Add the chicken breasts and brown them on all sides. Place the skillet in the hot oven and cook the breasts for 15 minutes, until cooked through. Remove from oven and keep the chicken warm on a plate.

Basil Garlic Chicken Breasts With Peaches


1 cup balsamic vinegar
1/4 cup molasses
2 tablespoons freshly cracked black pepper
1/2 cup basil -- roughly chopped
3 tablespoons garlic -- minced
1/4 cup olive oil
4 whole boneless chicken breasts**
salt and freshly cracked black pepper -- to taste
4 peaches -- halved and pitted

NOTE: ** 10 to 12 ounces each. If you can't find boneless chicken breasts with the two halves still attached, substitute 8 halves.

INSTRUCTIONS: In a small saucepan over medium-high heat, bring the vinegar to a boil and cook until it is reduced by half, 20 to 25 minutes. Stir in the molasses and black pepper, remove from the heat and set aside.

Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the basil, garlic and olive oil, and mix well. Rub the chicken breasts with this mixture, sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper, and grill over a medium fire, skin side down, until the skin is crispy, 8 to 10 minutes. Turn the breasts over and grill for another 6 minutes. To check for doneness, nick one of the breasts at the fattest point; the meat should be fully opaque with no traces of pink.

As the chicken breasts are finishing up, place the peaches on the fire, cut side down, and grill until they are nicely browned, about 2 minutes. Flip them over, brush the cut side with the balsamic glaze, and continue to cook for another 2 minutes. Remove the peaches from the grill, give them another coat of glaze, and serve whole or sliced with the chicken breasts.

Perfect Roast Chicken @ 500F
Make a natural roasting rack of vegetables:
3 carrots, peeled and cut into thirds
3 ribs celery, peeled and cut into thirds
3 onions, peeled and cut into quarters
1 (3 1/2 to 4 pound) chicken, rinsed and patted dry
1 1/2 tablespoons kosher salt
2 teaspoons pepper
1 lemon, halved
2 fresh bay leaves
6 cloves garlic, roughly chopped
4 sprigs rosemary, roughly chopped, plus 1 tablespoon for gravy
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons margarine, at room temperature
1 cup chicken stock
2 tablespoons roasted garlic
1 cup dry white wine
Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F.
In a 9 by 13-inch roasting pan, add the carrots, celery and onions. Season the chicken both inside and out with the kosher salt and white pepper. Squeeze the lemon halves over the chicken and place the rinds(empty halves) inside the cavity. Place the bay leaves inside the cavity. In a small bowl, combine the garlic, rosemary, olive oil and margarine. Rub the chicken both inside and out with the garlic rosemary blend and place in the roasting pan.
Place the pan in the oven and roast the chicken for 40 to 50 minutes, or until the juices run clear. Remove the chicken from the oven and allow to cool for 10 to 15 minutes (actually cooks)before carving.
Pour off excess fat from pan and return to heat. Whisk in chicken stock, roasted garlic, white wine and chopped rosemary, scraping up the bits on the bottom of pan. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Reduce gravy by half, until thickened. Plate vegetables and chicken, pour gravy over it.
