Hot chicken dishes for the holiday table. Category: Chicken Appetizers Chicken Appetizers

If the traditional fried chicken, which decorates the table with or without reason, is already a little boring, you can try to diversify the holiday menu with much more interesting options for hot chicken dishes. This, for example, is the same baked chicken - but according to a completely new recipe, which involves stuffing the bird with buckwheat, mushrooms and fried onions. The filling itself is delicious, but the finished dish turns out so juicy and satisfying that you’ll just lick your fingers! If buying a whole chicken and bothering with cutting the carcass is expensive and too time-consuming, you can use an unusual recipe for “chicken with oranges” - baked chicken drumsticks, legs or thighs with a piquant citrus flavor and a crispy crust look truly festive. And finally, on seasonal holidays, zucchini “medallions” with tender minced chicken can be an excellent addition to the menu.




The ideal ingredient for novice housewives, which allows you not to bother with cutting up chicken and cook very quickly and easily - this is tender chicken fillet, which is almost impossible to spoil under any circumstances. There are a great many recipes for holiday dishes made from chicken fillet: for example, the original “chicken pizza” without dough or marinated in soy sauce, fried chicken fillet with apple sauce, which is prepared from fresh apples, lemon juice and a small amount of white wine. For a children's party or for adult gourmands, a homemade version of the famous “nuggets” is suitable - pieces of chicken fillet, fried in flour breading and sprinkled with sesame seeds.

Holiday Chicken Recipes

A long time ago, chicken roll migrated from Western European cuisine into our kitchen - a dish that is at once tasty, filling, and low-calorie, in a word, ideal for an everyday or holiday menu. There are several dozen recipes for chicken roll - from simple to the most complex. So, for example, you can make a “Marble” roll from chicken fillet, gelatin and various spices - you get a tasty, impressive appetizer for the festive table. A very interesting option is a chicken roll stuffed with omelette, which can replace regular cold cuts (and will turn out to be much more useful). And after spending a little more time, you can prepare chicken roll with egg and green beans - a truly tasty and versatile dish that can be served hot as a main dish, or cold as an appetizer.

Different cuisines around the world also have recipes for chicken roll - and sometimes very unusual ones. So, for example, for a festive table you can prepare a Japanese-style roll - the most delicious, juicy, slightly gelatinous, with a spicy aftertaste of soy sauce. For lovers of European (and, in particular, Italian) cuisine or those who are used to watching their weight - chicken roll with broccoli in Ligurian style, the dish is amazingly tender, almost airy, and low in calories. But for those who can afford not to count calories at the holiday table, we can recommend a delicious (although perhaps a little greasy) chicken roulade with garlic in a ham “coat.”

Cold holiday chicken appetizers

In the summer, when hot dishes for a holiday seem to be something completely optional, you can pamper your guests with a variety of cold chicken appetizers. The simplest option is chicken aspic: it can be prepared in a slow cooker or in the traditional way - from broth, in a mold. However, such aspic cannot be called traditional - thanks to broccoli and other vegetables, the cut produces an original “picture”.

The simplest, but no less tasty cold appetizer is tartlets with chicken and cucumber. If there are no tartlets, you can replace them with “homemade” baskets of thin Armenian lavash, and prepare any filling - for example, chicken fillet with tomatoes and cheese. And experienced chefs can recommend chicken terrine - a simple and budget-friendly dish, but it will look beautiful on a holiday table. The recipe is universal: the vegetables in the composition can be changed depending on your own preferences. And the only condition is to serve the terrine cold so that the dish does not “spread”.




Appetizer "Festive"

Hot chicken appetizers for the holiday table

Hot chicken appetizers for the holiday table must be served almost immediately after preparation - and therefore most of these recipes are extremely simple and require very little time. Spicy snack chicken “sticks” turn out to be very tasty - such an appetizer will always be in great demand, regardless of the occasion. And the “Kamyshi” appetizer made from chicken fillet with cheese and herbs is not only tasty, but also original - really similar to reeds. It will take a little more time to cook miniature chicken “skewers” ​​in bacon in the oven, but the result will be worth it - thanks to the delicate cherry-mint sauce with hints of lime, the finished dish turns out to be deliciously piquant in taste.



Snack "Reeds"

As a kind of “buffet” snack from tender chicken fillet, you can prepare miniature chicken “fingers” - rolls with cheese filling, or original snack “muffins” - they look almost like real muffins, only they are made from minced chicken with vegetables. And one of the least labor-intensive options for a hot appetizer with chicken is stuffed tomatoes baked in the oven (you can stuff them with fried fillet pieces and croutons from a couple of pieces of wheat bread).

How often do we expect friends or relatives to visit? There is often not enough time to prepare, but you want to do everything quickly, tasty and beautiful. In this case, there is a small lifeline - a cheese and chicken appetizer with basil, an excellent option for a tasty and impressive “quickly” appetizer.

Preparing this snack will not take much time and effort, and both adult friends and their little children will be pleased with the result. The appetizer comes out very tender and aromatic, spicy and delicious, with a light crispy crust. And most importantly, to prepare this extraordinary dish you will need simple and accessible ingredients. We will use purchased puff pastry as the basis for the appetizer, which will significantly speed up the entire cooking process.

Ingredients:

  • 500 g yeast-free puff pastry;
  • half a small boiled chicken fillet (100 g);
  • 100 g cheese;
  • 1 egg;
  • 1 large clove of garlic;
  • several sprigs of basil;
  • salt pepper;
  • mayonnaise for dressing.

Appetizer recipe with cheese, chicken and basil

1. Sprinkle the work surface with flour. Roll out the puff pastry in one direction so that it rises during baking and turns out tender and airy. We try not to disturb its rectangular shape. Roll out a little so that you don’t get very thin molds. I use store-bought yeast-free puff pastry, but you can also use homemade puff pastry.

2. When you have rolled out the dough, you need to cut out the blanks for our snack. You can use anything you find in your kitchen. I took a baby juice box. It is small and fits perfectly.

3. It is advisable to cut an even number of blanks. We will divide them into two parts. One of which will be the bottom of the snack, and the second will become the walls for the edible basket. To do this, leave one half untouched, and cut out the middle of the second, as in the photo.

4. There is one trick in preparing this kind of snack from puff pastry. We first moisten the edges and joints of the workpieces with water. And then, so that the dough does not move during baking, we press along the edge of the snack with our fingers, slightly molding our halves.

5. Cover the baking sheet with baking paper. We put our puff pastry baskets on it. If there are any extra pieces of dough left, we can prepare them along with the baskets so that the good stuff doesn’t go to waste.

6. Pierce the bottoms with a fork. Break one egg, separate the white from the yolk. We don't need protein. Lightly beat the yolk and brush the top of the baskets with it. Thanks to this, the base of the puff pastry will become a beautiful golden color after baking.

7. Take a few sprigs of green basil. Wash under running water and chop finely.

8. Lightly sprinkle the baskets with basil. It will give baked goods a delicious smell and spicy taste. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees, place our molds in the lower part of the oven and bake for 20 minutes. The time may vary depending on the size and type of dough you use to make your baked goods. So take this point into account.

9. Grate a small piece of cheese on a fine grater.

10. Cut the pre-boiled chicken breast into small cubes.

11. Now mix all the ingredients in a deep bowl. Grated cheese, boiled chicken breast, mayonnaise and chopped basil. Don’t forget to add salt and pepper, and squeeze one clove of garlic here.

12. At this point, the puff pastry pieces have already browned in the oven. Let them cool.

13. Place the filling in the middle of the workpiece and form a small mound.

14. Decorate our appetizer with fresh basil leaves.

15. A delicious cheese and chicken appetizer is ready. Bon appetit!

Brisket basturma

Ingredients:

  • coarse or sea salt
  • ground garlic
  • sweet ground paprika
  • dried parsley
  • pepper mixture
  • chaman (fenugreek)

Preparation:

Chicken appetizer for the holiday table

You will need:

  • chicken fillet – 500 g;
  • salt – 3 tbsp. spoons;
  • sugar – 3 tbsp. spoons;
  • savory – 2 tbsp. spoons;
  • coriander – 2 teaspoons;
  • ground paprika – 1 tbsp. spoon;
  • red pepper - to taste.

How to cook Chicken Basturma:

  1. Basturma from chicken breasts is prepared simply: we wash the pieces of chicken fillet, remove films and fat, and then dry them with a paper towel.
  2. In a small bowl, start mixing the mixture for salting: salt and sugar (preferably brown), rub the fillet with the resulting mixture and put it in the refrigerator under a press, salt for 3 days. Once the time has passed, when you remove the meat from the refrigerator, you should feel its texture thicken.
  3. We clean the salted fillet from excess spices, wrap it tightly in three-layer gauze and again place it under pressure for a day.
  4. Now, all that remains is to knead the remaining spices: to do this, they need to be mixed and diluted with water to a paste-like consistency. At this stage, it is very important to guess the consistency of the spicy coating; it should resemble low-fat sour cream, but at the same time envelop the meat well.
  5. We rewind the future basturma with thread or thread a thread through the fillet, and hang it in a cool place to dry for 3 days, after which we wrap the meat again in gauze and dry it for another 2 weeks. After a long wait, the dish can be cut and served.

Chicken breast basturma at home with vodka

Recipe for dried chicken breast basturma at home. A mixture of khmeli-suneli is used here, but you can use other seasonings. The recipe is for 2 fillets from a medium chicken.

Ingredients:

  • 600 g fillet;
  • 2.5 tbsp. l. salt;
  • 40 ml vodka;
  • 2 tbsp. l. khmeli-suneli;
  • black pepper, coriander.

Preparation:

  1. Rinse the fillet and wipe dry with napkins. Do not forget to remove all films and veins so that the spices penetrate easily and the moisture leaves the chicken without obstacles.
  2. Sprinkle the fillets with coarse salt and place in a small container. It is important that the pieces lie tightly in it and are soaked in the salt that melts from the moisture released.
  3. Close the container and place it in the refrigerator for 10-12 hours. You can turn the breast periodically.
  4. Now take paper napkins, wipe the pieces dry, then pour vodka over them.
  5. Pour aromatic spices into a bowl, roll the fillet, rub it with your hands, and wrap it in gauze. Place the pieces in a clean container, put pressure on them and keep them in the refrigerator for another 12-18 hours.
  6. We take out the fillet, which will be flattened. We unfold each piece, pierce it with a large needle and thread, make a loop, and hang it in a ventilated room or under a hood.
  7. Let the basturma stand for 2-3 days and check when it is ready. You can always pierce the chicken and cut off a piece. The longer the meat hangs, the tougher it will become and the more it will dry out, but you shouldn’t eat it raw either.
