Chicken brest ideas?

cramernh

My mom has a neurological condition and part of the treatment includes strict diet and boiling is the only methode of cooking allowed. It does work for her and she does feel much better if she sticks to it but how many times can a person it chicken and broccoli/cuccini/squash/etc stew? That's why I asked for your help guys.

Do you have any good recipies for chicken/fish/meat that does not involve baking/frying/roasting ect and only boiling (Boiling – Blanching – Braising – Coddling – steaming - Poaching – Pressure cooking – Simmering -Stewing and so on)

I think had you made it specific in your first post to start the thread, the suggestions would have been better - so please understand its no one's fault for offering ideas that were based off of what they read.

Is your mom under the care of an RD as well? Im surprised they didnt give your mother the necessary information as they usually give tons of recipe ideas. I would highly suggest your mother get in contact with the RD (hopefully there is one assigned to her case) and make him/her give some recipe suggestions.

To be honest, this is extremely easy as any recipe can be modified. Unfortunately, no one here is going to offer any suggestions that will be suitable because everyone's definition of 'spicy' is going to differ.

I would definitely suggest you pull up Google, and research her condition and have the search tie it to recipe suggestions.

I believe I know which neuro-condition you are hinting at (I work in healthcare ), but Im going to be dead honest with you: you are better of modifying recipes on your own where only you know the specifics of what your mother can or cant have.

We would be risking messing with any medications your mother is taking and therefore its a line that has to be drawn... someone could recommend an idea here but it could be a detriment to your mother....



Can you be extremely specific - more than what you have indicated here? Make an easy list of what she CAN have.... it is much easier to mentally handle it that way....

Take care...

I like to put Old Bay seasoning on chicken and either grill or bake it. It comes out juicier if you bake it. It's simple and different and really good.

I poach chicken a lot. I'll use it in salads, soups or stir fries, plain with some starch and a veg.

I don't have recipes, I just make whatever comes to mind.

Just pick a recipe and switch out the fried or baked chicken with poaching.

You can alter almost any recipe to suit your tastes.

I use www.allrecipes.com a lot.

Split breasts, skin removed covered in mixture of soy sauce, water (enough to dilute the saltiness of the soy sauce) , garlic and onion. Cover with foil, and cook in oven on 350-400 degrees for 1-1/2 hrs. So tender and flavorful! Falls off the bone! Or you could cook it for lestt time if you don't want it falling off the bone. Serve juice over rice, if you like.
