I've made this chicken a couple of ways, one of which was in a toaster oven. That's right, you heard me, a toaster oven. What can I say? When your gas company stands you up and your oven hasn't been operational since you've moved in, a person's gotta improvise. Don't judge.
The basics of this chicken dish are these: butter, bite-sized pieces of boneless skinless chicken breast, seasonings, and vegetables. The best part of this recipe is that you can do it on the stove top in a frying pan, or in the oven. Or toaster oven, if you're in to Jerry-Rigging things like me.
Ingredients
-butter, enough to cover the bottom of the pan or dish
-boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
-seasonings of your choosing
suggestions: salt and pepper, adobo, rosemary, basil
-vegetables, chopped
suggestions: onions, tomatoes, peppers
Directions
Stovetop
Turn the heat up to medium high. Add seasonings to chicken. A good way to do this is the "shake n' bake" method: put the dry ingredients and cut up chicken together in a plastic bag, and shake. Add butter to the pan, and let it melt. Add the seasoned chicken and veggies to the pan. Let the chicken and veggies cook together, stirring occasionally. Serve warm, and enjoy!
Oven
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Let the pan sit in the oven for a minute or two, to heat it up a bit. Season chicken as described above. Take the pan out of the oven, and put butter in it, letting the butter melt in the warm pan. Add the seasoned chicken and any veggies you want. Let the chicken bake for about 10 minutes, checking occasionally to make sure it's fully cooked. Serve warm, and enjoy!
This chicken recipe is so easy I made it up by accident. And it's super quick to make a serving for one or two people in the toaster oven. Hey, maybe you could make it and serve it with the delicious savory puff pastry that you've already mastered from the first post! Sounds tasty, doesn't it?
Happy cooking!
