KICKIN' CHICKEN BAKE



Kickin' Chicken Bake image

This delicious twist on the chicken & broccoli crescent ring was a contest winner submitted on one of Emeril's Cooking with Kids specials. A little boy named Noah came up with this version, which I tried immediately and loved. I added jalapenos and more garlic to mine. I use leftover rotisserie chicken, skinned and boned or freshly poached chicken breast meat in this. Also NOTE: The original version called for only 1 can of crecsent rolls and made 1 wreath. However, I found there was a lot of filling, enough for 2 wreaths. I made 1 wreath and saved the extra filling to bake as a separate casserole (bake for the same amount of time and serve with crusty rolls on the side).

Provided by HeatherFeather

Categories     Chicken

Time 40m

Yield 2 wreaths, 16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

This is a tasty way to put together some great-tasting chicken tenders. And since they're baked, you're saving all those nasty calories. Although if you want to deep-fry them... have at it.

Categories     Poultry Appetizers

Time 3h15m

Number Of Ingredients 18

THE TENDERS
1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast, or the equivalent weight in chicken tenders
1 c panko breadcrumbs
1 c all-purpose flour
2 medium eggs lightly beaten
1 Tbsp toasted sesame seeds
1 tsp chinese five spice powder
1 tsp salt, kosher variety

black pepper, freshly ground, to taste
1 Tbsp flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped
THE BBQ SAUCE
1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1/2 medium onion, chopped
1 c ketchup, homemade, if possible.
1 tsp sugar, granulated variety
3 tsp cider vinegar
1 tsp worcestershire sauce

Steps:

  • 1. Optional: Brine the chicken breasts for about three hours.
  • 2. MAKING THE BBQ SAUCE
  • 3. Chef's Note: When I talk about using ketchup in this recipe, I would really hope you choose a homemade variety. Otherwise you are making a condiment out of a condiment. Besides, store-bought ketchup has things in it, other than ketchup. Go homemade... if you can. https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/sauce-spread/other-sauce-spread/versatile-homemade-ketchup.html?r=1
  • 4. Chef's Note: If you are not making the BBQ sauce, then skip down to step 11.
  • 5. Gather all your ingredients
  • 6. Rough chop the onion.
  • 7. Heat the olive oil in a saucepan, add the onions, and cook over medium heat until softened, about 8 to 10 minutes.
  • 8. Add the ketchup, vinegar, Worcestershire, and sugar, to the onions, and allow the mixture to simmer, covered, over low heat for about 30 minutes.
  • 9. Remove from saucepan and place into a food processor fitted with an S-blade, or a blender.
  • 10. Blend until smooth, return to saucepan, and keep warm.
  • 11. MAKING THE CHICKEN TENDERS
  • 12. Slice the chicken breasts into 1-inch planks.
  • 13. Chef's Note: After slicing, if some of the planks are too long... cut them in half.
  • 14. Coat the chicken planks with the flour, and allow them to rest for 5 minutes.
  • 15. While the chicken is resting, beat the eggs and place them in a shallow pan.
  • 16. Combine the breadcrumbs, sesame seeds, five-spice powder, salt, cumin, pepper, and parsley and place in a shallow pan.
  • 17. Dreg one of the floured chicken planks in the egg mixture.
  • 18. Place in the breadcrumbs and thoroughly coat.
  • 19. Place on a wire rack, or parchment-lined baking sheet, and repeat until all the planks (tenders) are ready, and allow to rest while the oven is preheating.
  • 20. Place a rack in the middle position, and preheat the oven to 450f (230c).

KICKIN' BBQ CHICKEN QUESADILLA



Kickin' BBQ Chicken Quesadilla image

Most people use 6-inch tortillas for tacos, but we apply healthy new math and use them for quesadillas. Upsizing to an 8-inch tortilla nearly doubles the surface area, meaning twice as much cheesy filling. Suddenly, your sensible meal becomes an 800-calorie heavyweight. Start with a 6-incher, and pile on the lean meats, veggies, and cheese. Crisp in a hot skillet with cooking spray instead of butter to save 7g sat fat.
