Baked Chicken With Tomatoes, Basil And Red Chillies

I thought it was something that looks like as it was the very main dish on the table at first glance...

I mean, a kind of special main dish of baked chicken pieces with vegetables in a large pan seems to make you spend more time preparing the meal in the kitchen.

Anyway while it does look like main dish to me, I'm surprised and excited that this yummy looking baked chicken with tomatoes is actually very quick to prepare and easy to make! It just that chicken arranged in the pan with tomatoes, basil and red chillies then just hit the oven.

It's a great oven baked chicken recipe if you think of preparing easy baked chicken that works in any ways whether you want to prepare the meal as the main dish or the other in a dinner with family, in any occasions with family and friends or to be served to guests!

Good thing is just throw everything into the pan in 6 minutes. It still comes out very good although the oven isn't done preheating yet. Simply hit into oven and you'll have easy oven baked chicken for your dinner ready in 45 minutes to an hour.


So, the ingredients that you'll need for the baked chicken recipe are...

3.5 Ibs. skinless bone-in chicken thighs (about 8)
1 pint grape tomatoes
1-2 red chillies, sliced (don't even bother to remove the seeds)
15 large basil leaves (torn up a bit) plus 10-12 smaller ones for garnish
1 Tbsp. olive oil
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. coarse black pepper

Next, here are the things you'll need to know on how to bake chicken...

Preheat oven to 425F.

Arrange chicken pieces in a single layer in a large rimmed pan or baking dish (12" cast iron skillet). Topple in the tomatoes. Skatter everything with the chillie slices and the 15 large basil leaves. Drizzle with the olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.

Bake until chicken is cooked through, about 45 minutes to an hour. The chillies and basil leaves will be blackened. But they taste good, don't worry. Scatter the remaining 10-12 basil leaves over top before serving.

Baked Brie Puffs With Fruit Preserves And Pistachios

To make something simple yet adorable and sweet could be your one perfect choice when you're expecting guests in a short while. So, you have to be quick!

I came to this cute little quick easy mini baked brie recipe which I think is pretty fast to make and saves you lots of times. What I do really love about this mini baked brie is that not only it looks very attractive but also it's so incredibly easy to make!

These baked brie puffs or mini baked brie puffs are perfect and ideal made for one person. So, it's sort of like individual baked brie that is made special for your every single guest or person.

I feel that it would be great if we can serve up our guests with something lovely which is not too heavy for them but just nice to simply to make things more jolly and cheerful. Don't you think?


So initially, you'll need to prepare the ingredients before you can make your first adorable little mini baked brie puff pastry...

1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
2 ounces brie cheese, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
3 tablespoons fruit preserves (such as apricot, fig or marmalade)
3 tablespoons shelled pistachios, chopped

Then, you'll need these few simple easy things to do in order to make your mini baked brie cups of the day!...

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. You'll also need a 24-cup mini muffin tin.

On a lightly floured surface, roll pastry into a 12-by-12 inch square (slightly larger than the initial size of the sheet). Cut into 25 squares. Gently ease each square into a mini muffin cup.

Bake for 10 minutes or until puffed. Press the center of each square down with the round end of a wooden spoon. Bake for 3-5 minutes more or until corners are just starting to brown.

Place a piece of cheese into each cup. Top with 1/4 teaspoon of fruit preserves and a sprinkle of chopped pistachios.

Return to oven and bake until cheese is melted and bubbly and pastry is light golden brown, about 3-5 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes before removing from muffin tin. Serve warm.
