What to do with the boobies....

I just saw the topic and had to look. I had a few suggestions, but I"m thinking they would be somehow inappropriate in this instance.

I mostly stir-fry. Fried food using a teaspoon or a teaspoon and a half of oil for two of us. A good wok is my best friend - we've had them my whole life, so it never occurred to me that so many people don't own one. (I didn't find this out until a couple years ago, when we started hanging it above the cooker instead of keeping it in a cupboard, and everyone started walking in the kitchen and pointing and saying, "What's that?")

I stir-fry (small pieces) with peppers (yellow, red, orange or any combination thereof, but you can use green if you like it), onions and Cajun spices. At the moment I cheat and use a storebought spice mix, but when I get back to cooking I'll devise my own blend to cut down on the sodium. Serve on long-grain rice.

Whole breasts in the oven are nice rubbed with olive oil, sea salt, garlic and rosemary. Stick potato chunks drizzled with olive oil in there, strew some fresh rosemary and chopped garlic around (and garlic cloves in their skins - they go all sweet and yummy) and you have a one-pan dinner that takes ten minutes to prepare. Serve with green salad.

Pasta Santa Fe is another nice dish, although it's a bit more expensive. You can do the chicken one of two ways - either grill and then shred or cut into medium pieces and use a cast-iron griddle pan or a George Foreman grill - something that'll give those nice brown grill lines. Put in a big bowl with pasta (I like tagliatelle or fettuccine, but anything works), pesto, fresh baby spinach and whole pine nuts. Mix well, then serve with baby tomatoes on top. I like to make my own pesto, but pine nuts and parmagiano are expensive, so this one's a special meal. If you can afford the calories I sometimes mix pesto and sour cream for the sauce to make it go further.

For what it's worth...
I actually prefer to marinade mine in pickle brine - I used Alton Browns recipe online somewhere to get a decent basic brine made - then I take a big chicken breast and slice it lengthwise in half - giving me two thin breasts. Then I marinade them anywhere from a couple/few hours to a day.

Then I put a dab of Olive Oil in a pan and cook the breasts in the pan. You'll have a really tasty breast that stays moist through cooking and combines VERY well with lemon/butter pasta.

Oven bake the chicken with whatever seasonings you like... just before they are finished add black forest ham..red onions & swiss/mozza cheese. (I cook my ham & onions first then add them on top followed by cheese).

Yummy!

Another slow cooker one... Orange Chicken

Chicken
Tomato ketchup & Orange marmalade - about 5 tbsp each
3 tbsp soy
Garlic clove
piece grated ginger
tbsp rice vinegar
dash sesame oil

Add some chilli sauce if you like some spice or some tabasco and add some sugar if you like it a little sweeter

Put it all in slow cooker 4-5 hours, towards the end add some corn flour mixed with cold water to thicken the sauce if needed

This sounds yummy, but I am allergic to oranges. I wonder how it would work with apricot preserves instead...

Apricot would work just as well, just need something sweet and sugary for it to glaze - lovely!

Olive oil loads of garlic and tarragon and chillis, coat the meat and then halve lots of cherry tomatoes cover with foil and bake for half hour to forty mins DELISH

I was hoping this was going to be about boobies though.......

Im glad I fell for this thread!! lots of chicken ideas

some of things we do are :

chicken, diced tomatoes, balsamic vinegar, spinach, and assortment of peppers, onions and pasta ( I can't eat multigrain yuck )

chicken, diced tomatoes, corn, taco seasoning, and peppers thrown in crockpot with some water and put on tortilla with a little dallop of light sour cram and sprinkle of shredded cheese

Crock pot.. add chicken breasts... one cut up onion.. one jar of salsa with 2 Tbl of curry added, when all done add some non fat yogurt to taste = curried chicken! Serve over rice! My hubby's favorite
