Easy baked chicken breast recipes


By Meet Karina

There's been a hint of fall in the air. The deep night sky glitters with stars. Mornings are cool, bordering on chilly. I stand outside the portal's edge, in the sand, sipping a mug of yerba mate, and scan the cottonwoods along the bosque below, looking for the tell-tale tinge of gold.

Soon they will be yellow, a golden trail north that snakes along the Chama River. It will be time for stacking pinon to burn in the kivas. I relish the warmth of the cozy fires to come, the evenings spent wrapped in thick sweaters reading, sipping cognac.

And for the first time in years I am not dreading winter.

Alex's Favorite Baked Chicken Mediterranean


This is my son Alex's favorite baked chicken recipe. It's a family-style recipe that constantly changes yet retains its essential character- that of pure comfort food laced with the best of Mediterranean flavors. It's lovely served over fragrant brown rice or herbed quinoa. Or serve it with sea salt-roasted potato wedges. It's an easy weeknight dish for the chilly days of autumn.

Ingredients:

4 split organic free-range chicken breasts [skinless are fine]
Sea salt and gluten-free Lemon Pepper seasoning, to taste
1 14-oz can Muir Glen fire-roasted tomatoes with juice
3/4 cup of your Muir Glen pasta sauce
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
1/2 cup red wine
6 cloves garlic, chopped
2 cups of thin pepper strips- mixed green, yellow and orange peppers
2 large portobella mushrooms, sliced
10 to 12 grape or cherry tomatoes, halved
1/2 cup chopped black olives
2 heaping tablespoons capers
1/2 cup golden raisins
1 tablespoon dried basil
1 teaspoon dried oregano or marjoram

Instructions:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Lightly oil a 10x13-inch baking pan with olive oil.

Wash the chicken in cold water and pat dry; season with lemon pepper; place in the baking dish.

In a mixing bowl, combine the remaining ingredients and pour over the chicken breasts.

Loosely cover with foil and bake until the chicken is no longer pink inside, anywhere from 30 to 45 minutes depending upon the size of the chicken breasts, etc.

Serve with brown rice, quinoa or mashed potatoes. Offer crumbled feta or goat cheese as a garnish.

Serves 4.
