Parmesan chicken tray bake recipe

Don’t reach for those frozen nuggets! This easy crumbed chicken and veg meal can be on the table pronto, and will satisfy everyone, young and old. It’s much healthier, too! How to make this parmesan chicken tray bake: key tips Dredging the chicken tenders in olive oil before coating them in crumbs ensures the chicken stays lovely and moist during cooking. To minimise the oil used in this meal, you could use spray oil on the vegetables rather than rolling them in the leftover oil. It’s important not to crowd the crumbed tenderloins on the baking trays with the vegetables. Leave enough space for the air to circulate around the chicken, ensuring that those crumbs become golden and deliciously crunchy. Key ingredients in this parmesan chicken tray bake recipe Chicken tenderloins are low in fat and a good size for crumbing and cooking quickly. You could also use sliced breast or thigh fillets for this recipe, but adjust your cooking time as they may take longer in the oven. Panko breadcrumbs are lightly baked coarse breadcrumbs, making them super crunchy. You will find them in the Japanese section of the supermarket. Zucchini is packed with fibre, vitamins and minerals, making it a good choice for this tray bake, however you can easily replace it with other vegies, or add to the zucchini (see notes, below). These crumbed chicken and tray bake recipes will have you sorted for dinners for a while. Introduction and additional recipe notes by Natasha Shaw.

Basic Bread Stuffing

Fresh bread crumbs infused with onion and herbs makes the perfect base for a tasty stuffing for a roast chicken or turkey. It will add a layer of taste beyond the poultry itself, taking your roast to the next level. How to make a basic bread stuffing: key tips There isn’t any magic needed to make this basic stuffing. Simply place all the ingredients in a bowl and mix until all the flavours are well combined. You can use your hands to make mixing easier, if you like. This recipe will make about 1½ cups of stuffing. Key ingredients in this basic bread stuffing recipe Make the most of day-old bread by processing it into large fresh breadcrumbs. They’ll soak up the juices from the chicken, plus the flavours in the onion and herbs. Using a large egg will help to bind the stuffing so that it will clump together better, making it easier to remove from the chicken and serve. You can easily use dried sage for this recipe, but I find the flavour that fresh herbs brings to a stuffing is most delightful.
