Favorite boneless skinless chicken breast recipes? I need some ideas for dinner tonight
Edited on Mon Jul-20-09 05:20 PM by LaydeeBug
but I know I'm making that.

Here is one from me:

You'll need:
4 chicken breasts
flour, 'bout 3/4 cup
2 eggs, beaten
bread crumbs
1 stick of butter
1 tsp minced garlic
2 tsp dried tarragon


Butterfly the chicken breast and pound to an even thickness. Dredge in flour, then in egg mixture, then in breadcrumbs. Saute in olive oil until golden brown on each side, flipping once. When you take the chicken out of the pan, BE SURE TO SPRINKLE little salt on them right away, or your chicken might suck.

Melt the butter (I use microwave) add garlic and tarragon. Spoon sauce over chicken and serve. (I sprinkle the tarragon all over the chicken breasts and serve with a side of garlic butter, but that's just me. :hi: )

Anybuddy else?

2. This is our favorite - by far -
Carmelized Garlic Chicken Breasts


3 teaspoons olive oil, plus additional for greasing foiled pan
6 cloves garlic, pressed
6 teaspoons brown sugar
6 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves

1. Heat oven to 500 degrees F. Line shallow roasting pan with foil, lightly grease the foil with a little oil.
2. Heat oil in small skillet over medium-low heat until hot. Add garlic and cook 1-2 minutes or until garlic begins to soften. (Don t let garlic get brown!) Remove from heat and stir in brown sugar until well mixed. Set aside.
3. Place chicken breasts on greased foil-lined pan, spreading the garlic mixture evenly over chicken.
4. Bake for 10—15 minutes or until chicken is fork-tender and juices run clear.

Baked potatoes with all the fixin’s (if you like, butter and sour cream), baked sweet potatoes, steamed broccoli.

3. Bobby Flay had one yesterday in Parade.
Chicken With Tangerine-Honey Glaze

3 cups tangerine juice or tangerine-orange juice (not from concentrate)
5 fresh thyme sprigs
1/4 cup clover honey
Kosher salt and black pepper
3 Tbsp Spanish paprika
1 Tbsp ground cumin
1 Tbsp dry mustard powder
2 tsp ground fennel seeds
2 Tbsp canola oil
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 8 oz. each)
2 green onions, thinly sliced, for garnish

1. Combine the juice and thyme in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened and reduced to about 1/2 cup; remove the thyme stems and discard. Whisk in the honey until incorporated and season with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of pepper. Transfer to a bowl and let cool to room temperature.
2. Heat grill to medium-high.
3. Stir together the paprika, cumin, mustard powder, fennel, and 1 teaspoon each of the kosher salt and black pepper in a small bowl. Brush both sides of the chicken with the oil, and season with salt and pepper. Rub the top of each breast with some of the spice rub and place on the grill rub-side-down. Cook, without touching, until they’re lightly golden brown and a crust has formed, 3 to 4 minutes. Turn the breasts over, brush the tops liberally with some of the glaze, flip them, and continue cooking until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center registers 155°F. Remove from the grill, brush the spice-rub side with more of the glaze, tent loosely with foil, and let rest 5 minutes before serving.

Serves 4. Per serving: 460 calories, 39g carbs, 48g protein, 12g fat, and 125mg cholesterol.

7. I'm one of those cooks that makes it up as I go along.
I feel stifled by following recipes, but try Organic Coconut oil(Garden of Life brand), lots of garlic , onions, perhaps a little pesto sauce, and voila!

Sometimes I use Olive Oil with lots of garlic and onions and then lemon juice to spritz it up! Sometimes I add a few green peas to steam it along on the skillet, as well! Sometimes I find everything I can find!!

13. I saute my chicken breast with some onion and garlic, add some white wine
Edited on Mon Jul-20-09 05:32 PM by yellowdogintexas
and lay the zucchini (sliced thinly) on top of the chicken, cover and poach until everything is done.

edited to add : I throw mushrooms in this too.

or you can stir fry it

oh for abundant large zucchini: grate it all up, pack 1 cup portions in zippie bags and freeze. Then you have it for zucchini bread. It will keep a long time and works just fine for the bread.

11. Here's a good one ~
Tenderize the chicken breasts, skinned side down.

Cover with two slices of cheese (we prefer coljack) sliced tissue thin

Add a layer of ham, also sliced tissue thin

Roll it all up, securing it with a toothpick*

Dip in melted butter

Coat with breadcrumbs (we use the breadcrumbs with Italian seasoning)

Bake at 350 for 35 minutes





*don't forget to remove the toothpicks before serving, your goper relatives will accuse you of all kinds of stuff otherwise
