Recipe Introduction
Note: Zia's salad dressing is sold at many local supermarkets.
Chicken base is concentrated broth sold in the soup aisle.
List of Ingredients
4 large skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
1 cup Zia's Italian salad dressing (see note)
About 1 1/4 cups Italian-seasoned dry bread crumbs
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/2 tablespoons chicken base (see note)
2 cups heavy cream
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 teaspoons dry rubbed sage
1/3 cup plus 1/4 cup shredded provel cheese, divided
5 slices bacon, cooked and coarsely chopped
8 small broccoli florets, steamed
1 medium tomato, diced
1/4 cup shredded Cheddar cheeseRecipe
Marinate chicken in salad dressing for 1 hour at room temperature.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Drain chicken; discard marinade. Lightly coat chicken in bread crumbs. Arrange
chicken in a baking dish; bake until cooked through, about 30 minutes.
In a small saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Whisk in flour; cook 3 to 4
minutes to make a roux. Set aside.
In another pan, dissolve chicken base in 2 cups water. Stir in cream, pepper
and sage. Bring to a boil; add roux. Cook, stirring constantly, until mixture
returns to a boil and thickens. Stir in 1/3 cup provel; remove from heat.
Coat the bottom of a medium baking dish with sauce; arrange cooked chicken over
sauce. Top chicken with bacon, broccoli and tomato. Pour remaining sauce over
all. Sprinkle Cheddar and remaining 1/4 cup provel over sauce; return to oven.
Bake until cheese melts and begins to brown, about 8 minutes.
