Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 400F.
  2. Rinse and pat dry chicken breast.
  3. Pour olive oil in 9" x 9" square baking pan. With brush, spread on bottom of pan, coat both sides of the chicken breast, and one side of a sheet of parchment paper. Sprinkle salt and pepper (and/or any other herbs/spices/seasonings you would like) over both side of chicken. Place chicken in baking pan, then covr with the parchment paper, oiled side down.
  4. Bake for 30-40 minutes - 30 is perfect in my oven - or until internal temperature is done. Sorry, gotta look that one up.
  5. Let sit at least 10 minutes before slicing, etc.
Recipe Notes

Can make ahead and keep in the refrigerator for up to one week.

Works great for cutlets, too!  Just reduce cooking time to 20 minutes.

Recipe Notes

UPDATED: After receiving lots of mixed reader feedback, I've went back into the kitchen and reworked this recipe. I think you will be wonderfully surprised with the results! This recipe is inspired from a recipe in Gooseberry Patch’s Slow-Cooker Christmas Favorites. When I say stir it well during the cooking process, I mean stir it all around. Top to bottom, bottom to top...all around. Toward the end of cooking (the last hour or so), you will want to watch it very closely. I wasn't sure how long exactly this would take with reworking the recipe, it took right at 3 and a half hours for mine. If I would have left it for another 30 minutes, I am sure it would have been mush instead of perfection. So, I cannot stress enough, watch it closely. As with any of our recipes, calorie counts and nutritional information varies greatly depending on which products you choose to use when cooking this dish. All slow cookers cook differently, so cooking times are always a basic guideline and should always be tested first in your own slow cooker and time adjusted as needed. crock pot recipe https://www.recipesthatcrock.com/crock-pot-creamy-chicken-and-rice/

  1. PREHEAT OVEN TO 400 DEGREES.
  2. Line baking sheet with parchment paper. Place chicken thighs skin side down on the baking sheet. Roast for 25 minutes. Remove from oven briefly, brush sauce all over the thighs, then use a spatula to flip them over to the other side, being careful not to tear the skin. Brush the tops with more sauce and return to the oven for 7 minutes. Remove from oven, brush on more sauce, and return to the oven for another 7 minutes. Remove from oven, brush on sauce, and turn up the temperature to 425 degrees.
  3. Continue roasting for another 7 minutes, or until the sauce is starting to brown around the edges and the thighs are totally cooked through. Remove from the oven and let sit for at least 10 minutes before serving.

Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 425°. Place potatoes in a large saucepan; add water to cover. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cook, covered, 5 minutes; add carrots and cook another 8 minutes or until crisp-tender; drain. Stir in chicken, corn, and peas. Cover and set aside.
  2. While gravy is cooking, prepare egg noodles per package directions, drain. Add a little butter, about 1/2 Tbsp, to coat noodles to prevent drying out or sticking together. Cover and set aside.
  3. In a large skillet, heat butter over medium-high heat. Add onion; cook and stir until tender. Stir in flour and seasonings until blended. Gradually stir in broth and milk. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly; cook and stir 2 minutes or until thickened. Stir in chicken, corn peas, carrots, and potato mixture; remove from heat.
  4. Stir in cooked noodles until you have enough for an even mix between noodles and chicken gravy mix; you may not need all the noodles you've cooked.

Instructions
  1. Mix flour, garlic & onion powder, salt, red & black pepper in a shallow container for dredging.
  2. Put the beaten egg in one shallow dish, and milk in another shallow dish.
  3. Combine 1 Tbsp each butter and olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat until melted and oil and butter are shimmering but not smoking.
  4. Coat pork chops, one at a time, in milk, then dredge in flour mix, then coat with beaten egg, and finally dredge again in flour mix, trying to keep the pork chop completely covered with the coating. Place carefully in skillet.
  5. Cook for ~3-5 minutes, depending on the thickness, until the coating in light golden brown and slightly crispy, and you can see where it is starting to cook up the sides of the chops. Turn carefully to keep breading intact, and turn away from you to avoid grease spatter and burns. Cook another 3-5 minutes as needed, then remove from the skillet and cover with foil for a few minutes before eating. If at any time the skillet is without any butter/oil, or starts sticking, add more butter & oil as needed. Serve hot.
  6. OPTIONAL: If you have any burnt crunchy bit on the bottom of the skillet, you can stir in a few herbs or onions; deglaze with chicken or beef stock, water, or wine; mix in a Tbsp or two or flour, and cook at medium-low heat until thickened and ready to use as a pan sauce.

Instructions
  1. Place the peeled and quartered potatoes in medium sized pot. Cover with at least an inch of cold water. Add a teaspoon of salt. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, and cook until tender (about 20 minutes).
  2. While the potatoes are cooking, melt 4 tablespoons of the butter in a large sauté pan on medium heat. Add the chopped onions and cook until tender, about 6 to 10 minutes.
  3. If you are including vegetables, add them according to their cooking time. Carrots should be cooked with the onions, because they take as long to cook as the onions do.
  4. If you are including peas or corn, add them toward the end of the cooking of the onions, or after the meat starts to cook, as they take very little cooking time.
  5. Add ground lamb to the pan with the onions and vegetables. Season with salt and pepper. Cook until no longer pink.
  6. Whisk broth with packages of gravy mix and Worcestershire sauce. Add to the meat and vegetable mix.
  7. Bring the broth to a simmer and reduce heat to low. Cook uncovered for 10 minutes, adding more beef broth if necessary to keep the meat from drying out.
  8. When the potatoes are done cooking (a fork can easily pierce), remove them from the pot and place them in a bowl with the remaining 4 Tbsp of butter. Mash with a fork or potato masher, and season with salt and pepper to taste. ***Kind of thick, might want to add a little milk. Could make morte taters, too.***
  9. Preheat oven to 400°F. Spread the beef, onions, and vegetables (if using) in an even layer in a large baking dish (8x13 casserole).
  10. Spread the mashed potatoes over the top of the lamb & vegetable mixture. Rough up the surface of the mashed potatoes with a fork so there are peaks that will get well browned. You can even use a fork to make creative designs in the mashed potatoes.
  11. Place in a 400°F oven and cook until browned and bubbling, about 30 minutes. If necessary, broil for the last few minutes to help the surface of the mashed potatoes brown.
