Garlic Chicken Breasts with Speedy Fluffy Dinner Rolls

 Super easy chicken.  Yeast rolls in close to an hour?  Yes!  These dinner rolls come together so quickly--the recipe says you can make them in 1 hour and 10 minutes.  I think I let mine rise a bit longer than the recipe recommended, but they turned out so fluffy and delicious--my family devoured them.  I will definitely make them again! 

Garlic Chicken Breasts

1/4 cup flour
1 Tbsp Garlic Seasoning (I used Johnny's Garlic Spread and Seasoning, from Costco)
2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
olive oil (depends on the size of your skillet and how much chicken. . . try 3 Tbsp and add more if needed--you just need it to keep your chicken from sticking and help brown it)

Combine flour and seasoning.
Heat oil in skillet over medium high heat.
Slice chicken breasts in half thickness or pound to even thickness throughout.  Moisten lightly with water (I usually thaw mine right before I use them, so they are wet already) and dip in flour mixture until coated lightly.
Cook chicken in oil on skillet until browned on one side; flip and brown other side and cook through.  Sprinkle with parsley.  Serve over or alongside rice pilaf.


Fluffy Dinner Rolls
I got and tinkered with this recipe from Mommy's Kitchen.  


3/4 cup milk
4 Tbsp butter
3/4 cup hot water
4 Tbsp sugar
1 tsp salt
1 cup whole white wheat flour
about 3 cups white bread flour
1 heaping Tbsp yeast

Combine milk and butter in microwave safe container, and microwave 1 1/2 minutes.

Preheat oven to 170 degrees.

Put milk, butter, and HOT tap water into mixer (Bosch, Kitchen aid, etc.)  Add sugar and salt and 1 cup wheat flour and 1 cup white bread flour.  Mix for one minutes.  Add one more cup of flour and the yeast.

Mix, adding more flour 1/2 cup at a time until dough cleans sides of bowl.  Mix 5 minutes to knead.  Cover with plastic wrap (to hold in heat) and rest 5 minutes.

Spray or butter the inside of a 9x13 pan.

Spray your counter with cooking spray and turn dough out onto the counter.

Cut dough into 12 equal portions, and gently form into round balls, placing in 9x13 buttered pan.

Put the pan in your warm oven and rise 20 minutes or until they have risen about 1 inch above the rim of the pan.  Leave the pan in your oven and turn the heat up to 350.

Bake about 15 minutes, until golden brown.

Brush with butter and serve warm.
