What's your favorite way to cook chicken?

If you are a fan of curry, there are bottled curry simmer sauces in the grocery that are easy and delicious. They range from mild to medium to hot. You would probalby only use a quarter of the jar for one chicken breast but it keeps in the fridge for quite a while and is also good on pork or shrimp.

Grill it baby!! Any kind of seasoning.

Salt, pepper, garlic power, onion powder.

Tony's

Marinade in italian dressing and dijion mustard.

Teriyaki

BBQ

Lemon pepper

Season with salt, pepper and garlic powder and make a healthy chicken parm. Top with some spaghetti sauce and mozz cheese.

French's yellow mustard, ranch dressing and some brown sugar (have not tried yet but will soon)

#1- Steam it: Ziplock makes steamer bags for the Microwave- add a tbs or two of water and spices...super moist!!
#2- Italian chicken packets: 1/2 cup diced tomatoes (highly reccomend the Hunt's garlic & onion), and one cup broccoil (raw). Put chicken, broccoli and tomatoes on tinfoil, double fold the 4 ends, bake at 450 for 25 minutes
#3- Grilled, dice it up for a warp or salad topper
#4- Steam- again...and dice up and add to a Black Bean Quinoa Salad: 1/2 diced tomatoes, 1/2 cup black beans, 1/2 broccoli, 1 cup cooked quinoa, fresh chopped parsley. You can eat this hot OR cold...love it cold.

If you are going to stuff it with cheese...try the laughing cow spreadable wedges...Garlic & Herb. Holy crap...so good! I'd skip the bacon, unless it's turkey bacon- one or two pieces can add a lot of calories.

I made these for the Superbowl, and I think it's my new favorite "fun food"! I used a little Frank's Red Hot on mine, bf went with BBQ, and they were delicious!

My husband made some marinade with lime juice, cilantro and white wine vinegar. Not sure how much of each (he probably didn't measure, either lol) We did salmon with it and ooohh it was so tasty I wanted to like the plate.
I am going to have him whip up another batch and try it with chicken breast.

Chicken thigh is better for curry, I don't like using the breast meat for that.

For a chicken breast I'd:

Stuff it or roll it: A cheese with a bit of a bite to it works well (so you dont have to use too much) with your favourite herbs and or meat (ham/bacon/proccuito)

or poundit, crumbit and fry it. Schzitzel is great (though not a super great option if you cant spare the carbs & fat).

or Just fry it with little or no oil. Slice the breast in half so the cooking time is reduced (less chance of over cooking and making the meat tough and dry).

One more: Cut the breasts in half as above, fry off and remove from pan. Add a small amount of garlic to the pan and fry off lightly, add about a tablespoon of wholegrain mustard, and 1/2 cup each of white wine and extra light cream (or suitable substitute). simmer gently for a 1-2 minutes then add the chicken back in along with a few sprogs of thyme. Simmer lightly for another few minutes til the sauce thickens and serve.

Cut chicken breast into 1x1/2 sized chunks and soak in a hot sauce. Season panko bread crumbs and toss chicken to bread. Bake at 400 for 20 min flipping half way through. Tastes like hot wings but allot better for you.

I bake mine...i just add seasonings i enjoy, garlic, onion powder, lawrys etc and i make sure it is covered for the most part and it tastes yummy..grilling also is wonderful...!!! Definatly going to try some of the ways in this post

on my mini George foreman

#1 - Grilled
#2 - Grill pan
#3 - Roasted
#4 - Cubed and Pan cooked

The woman I love, introduced me to Montreal Chicken Seasoning by McCormick and it is fantastic.

Otherwise, Cayenne, Chili Powder, Pepper, Red Pepper Flakes, and a pinch of salt.

Honey Mustard sauce, Light Mozza or any other kind of cheese, Sauteed mushrooms and Turkey bacon. Called a Aussie Chicken!.

home made Honey mustard:
Honey 3 Tbsp
light Mayo 1 Tbsp
Mustard 3 Tbsp

* marinade overnight with fat free italian and then bake.
* half cup low sodium ck broth + ck breast in crockpot on high for about 2 hours
* salsa + taco sauce+ chicken in crockpot on high about two hours (thawed chicken of course)


I either bake or use the crockpot. I really like throwing a punch in the crockpot with a little broth and then using it with tons of other things during the week since the flavor isn't over powering

We also love curry here. Tonight we had our favorite. Sautee some garlic, add chopped chicken and sautee. Add cut up red and green sweet peppers and some onions. Cook until tender. Pour one can of lite coconut milk into the pan and curry to taste. If you choose to add even more flavor, (but it adds more calories) add some lite peanut butter. Oh, so good.
Serve with whole grain brown rice. Yummy!

No matter what I'm doing with it, I almost always bake chicken the same way...

Add a 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar to the pan, a drizzle of olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Cover with foil and bake for 45 minutes at 375'. It makes a very, very moist, flavorful chicken that goes well with just about everything. I'll make a batch of that and stick it in the fridge, and then shred it for tacos, reheat it in the oven with marinara and mozzarella, shred it for fried rice, use it for a pot pie, make chicken salad, reheat it in the oven with salsa and cheese, put it over a salad... Cooking with raw chicken freaks me out, and I like to have fast options during the week, so this is a great way to do it. It's essentially my own version of the pre-cooked chicken strips that you get in the cooler at the grocery store, sans preservatives.
