Chicken Ratatouille Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven for 375˚F (190˚C).
• Slice the eggplant, tomatoes, squash, and zucchini into approximately ¹⁄₁₆-inch (1-mm) rounds, then set aside.
• Make the sauce: Heat the olive oil in a 12-inch (30-cm) oven-safe pan over medium-high heat. Sauté the onion, garlic, and bell peppers until soft, about 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, then add the crushed tomatoes. Stir until the ingredients are fully incorporated. Remove from heat, then add the basil. Stir once more, then smooth the surface of the sauce with a spatula.
• Arrange the sliced veggies in alternating patterns, (for example, eggplant, tomato, squash, zucchini) on top of the sauce from the outer edge to the middle of the pan. Season with salt and pepper.
• Make the herb seasoning: In a small bowl, mix together the basil, garlic, parsley, thyme, salt, pepper, and olive oil. Spoon the herb seasoning over the vegetables.
• Cover the pan with foil and bake for 40 minutes. Uncover, then bake for another 20 minutes, until the vegetables are softened.
• Serve while hot as a main dish or side. The ratatouille is also excellent the next day--cover with foil and reheat in a 350˚F (180˚C) oven for 15 minutes, or simply microwave to desired temperature.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. In a large roasting tin, toss together the aubergine, courgettes and peppers with half the chopped rosemary, half the garlic, 2 tbsp oil and some seasoning. Spread out the vegetables in an even layer, then roast in the oven for 20 mins.
• Meanwhile, mix remaining rosemary, garlic and oil together. Slash each of the chicken breasts 4-5 times with a sharp knife, brush over the flavoured oil, season and chill for 15 mins.
• After veg have cooked for 20 mins, stir in the tomatoes. Make spaces in the roasting tin and nestle the chicken breasts amongst the vegetables. Place a rosemary sprig on top of each chicken breast. Return the tin to the oven for 18-20 mins, until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are lightly caramelised. Serve with some new potatoes, if you like.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees with rack in upper third. In a large straight-sided ovenproof skillet, heat 1/4 cup oil over medium-high. Add eggplant and cook, stirring frequently, until just beginning to brown, about 4 minutes. Add zucchini, garlic, and remaining 1 tablespoon oil. Cook, stirring, until garlic is fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in tomatoes and thyme; season with salt and pepper.
• Season chicken on both sides with salt and pepper and rub with oil. Add to skillet, skin-side up, and roast in oven until chicken is cooked through, 25 to 30 minutes. Turn oven to broil and continue to cook until skin is golden brown and juices are bubbly, 1 to 2 minutes more. Let rest 10 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Lay all the vegetables and the tomatoes in a shallow roasting tin. Pour over the olive oil and give everything a good mix round until well coated (hands are easiest for this).
• Put the chicken breasts, skin side up, on top of the vegetables and tuck in some rosemary sprigs, if using. Season everything with salt and black pepper and drizzle a little oil over the chicken. Roast for about 35 mins until the vegetables are soft and the chicken is golden. Drizzle with oil before serving.

Steps:

• Wash and dry chicken breasts. Sprinkle with pepper.
• Heat oil in skillet and saute chicken over medium heat until breasts are browned on both sides.
• Spread half of the ratatouille on the bottom of two shallow baking dishes; top with chicken breasts. Top breasts with remaining ratatouille, covering well. Sprinkle with cheese.
• Wrap dishes well with double thickness of aluminum foil and freeze or refrigerate.
• To serve, defrost if frozen. If serving 4, transfer ratatouille and chicken to one shallow baking dish and cook, covered, on top of the stove over medium-low heat for 20 to 25 minutes. (If only 2 servings are desired, cook in original baking dish.) If desired, run dish under broiler to brown cheese.
• While chicken is cooking, cook macaroni according to package directions.
