Chicken recipes

try boneless skinless chicken thighs in the crockpot- they are amazing. You have to be careful with chicken breast because if they overcook they lose all their flavor. of course the resulting broth will be great but the meat will be tasteless shreds.

My favorite way to make boneless/skinless chicken breast is a recipe I found on Taste of Home.

It's listed as "cooking for 2" but it's easily adaptable to feed however many you need, or to your taste..

Basically you flatten the chicken breast a bit, then brown it in a little olive oil or butter, and season with pepper, garlic, and ground cayenne (to taste, or you can skip it if you don't like spicy)... once the chicken is cooked through, top with 1tbsp honey mixed with 2tbsp chopped pecans.

It's a little sweet, and a little spicy, and it's a good mix of textures. Love it.

thanks! what can i substitute agave nectar with? equal?

Barbeque sauce would be awesome!

honey would make a good substitute, it won't be the exact same but probably as close as you can find. If you have pure maple syrup already in your house you could play around with that. Agave Nectar is not going to taste the exact same as honey or maple syrup but if you're not up for buying a bottle I think honey would be just fine for the recipe.:happy:

Edited to add:

Thanks all for the great chicken ideas... there's always fajitas to do up with chicken, simple, tasty and the chance to add loads of yummy veggies!:drinker:
