Today I'm sharing this fabulous chicken meal. I came across this recipe several years ago from The English Kitchen, and it's so easy to prepare, and oh so delicious! Marie calls this dish Cheesy Chicken Rarebits.
Here is the dish ready for baking in the oven. I had some frozen brussels sprouts from Trader Joe's that required the same temperature and time, and they were perfect with the chicken.
Yield: 4
Cheesy Chicken Breasts
This recipe has such a short list of ingredients, but tastes so incredible! I have made this numerous times and the tomatoes just burst with flavor and the sauce is so very tasty.
Ingredients
- 4 skinless boneless chicken breasts (I used 2 large breasts and butterflied them into 4 thinner pieces)
- 1 and 1/4 sharp cheddar cheese, grated
- 1 heaping teaspoon of grainy mustard ( I use Honeycup Uniquely Sharp Mustard)
- 3 ounces of heavy cream, which is about 1/3 of a cup
- cherry tomatoes
- salt and pepper
Instructions
- If using large breasts, slice by butterflying the them and then cut at the hinge.
- Place the breast in an oiled baking dish and season with salt and pepper.
- Mix the cheese, cream and mustard together, and then spoon on top of chicken in dallops. Place the cherry tomatoes on top.
- Bake for 20-30 minutes in a 400 degree oven until the chicken is no longer pink.
Our temperatures here in Texas have been quite pleasant and I had my dessert on the patio. I made aa boxed angel food cake and sweetened some cut up strawberries for on top. Duncan Hines and Betty Crocker have angel food cake mixes and they are really good. I do have a tube pan, but this time I made the cake into loaf sizes. You also can make the cake into cupcakes. The important thing to remember is to NEVER grease the pans. My gorgeous strawberry tablecloth and napkins were a gift from Bernideen at Bernideen's Teatime, and I just love using them.
My strawberry pitcher and my beloved Mom's Royal Doulton figurine are so pretty on the tablecloth.
The Roy Kirkham Alpine Strawberry teacup is such a favorite!
I always think of my mom and angel food cake together. My mom did not like shortcake, but always either used angel food or a sponge cake with sweetened strawberries, and that's what I do, too.
Thank you for your visit! I will be back in two weeks. xo
I'm sharing with these parties:
I am not a fan of shortcake either and much prefer angel food cake or even pound cake with my strawberries.
ReplyDeleteHappy June Kitty! I love your embroidered strawberry tablecloth with pretty teacup, pitcher and mom’s sweet figurine! 🍓I prefer pound cake or angel food cake to shortcake too. Such an easy and quick chicken dinner! We’re warming and steaming up this week. I’m going to miss having the windows and French doors open to the porch. Wishing you a wonderful week ahead.💗
ReplyDeleteKitty the cheesy chicken sound pretty delish and that angel food cake looks so good. How cute you had strawberry desert plates. Angel food cake and fresh strawberries is one of my fave deserts. Thanks for the tip on not greasing the pan. I did not know that. Have a wonderful week. Hugs. Kris
ReplyDeleteThe chicken sounds very good but I did not see what temperature the oven should be set to.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for seeing that I forgot the temperature! I've corrected it.
DeleteThat meal sounds so good and so EASY - and a lot less mess than browning it first on stovetop, etc. Thank you! I may make that tonight. We have been dining out entirely too much lately and something easy, inexpensive and affordable with little mess is the answer!
ReplyDeleteI love your sweet dessert too. And such wonderful memories that went along with it.
Have a fabulous day, dear friend. I still can't even believe it is June already. Hugs.
Happy June, oh my, the meal looks wonderful, thank you for sharing the recipes. I did not know about NOT greasing the pan!! Thank you for the tip!
ReplyDeleteI love, love the strawberry pitcher.

Beautiful linens! Love your food fare, Kitty. The brussel sprouts with the chicken sounds scrumptious.
ReplyDeleteKitty, the chicken looks delicious and I love strawberries and angel food cake! The strawberry embroidered cloth, teacup, and pitcher are beautiful. Happy June and wishing you a joy-filled week!
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet strawberry tea time.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your 2-week break.
How delicious - a wonderful meal and a very strawberry table indeed! Yes, I remember the sweet strawberry pieces!
