Go to Chicken Breat Recipe?

[GHoward]

I probably eat chicken breast 70% of the time I eat meat, just because its both lean and cheap. But I've pretty much maxed out on things to do with it.
any suggestions?

On the back of Pace bottles they have a recipe for 'Texas Two Step Chicken." I believe it is 1 1/2 cups Pace, 3 TB brown sugar, and 1 TB French mustard. Mix together, pour on chicken and bake. Incredibely easy and really good, spicy, sweet taste.

Cut three to four chicken breasts into 3/4 inch cubes.
Cut 1/2 medium onion into a largish chunks. (?)

Brown chicken in a tablespoon of oil and when almost finished add onion to sweat.

Once the onion is translucent, add two tablespoons of yellow Madras Curry powder and fry until fragrant, (about a minute). Truthfully, I usually use more curry powder because I love it.

(Sometimes I will also add a tsp of cumin powder, a handful of chopped red bell pepper, etc.)

Add a can of coconut milk and simmer for ten minutes or so.

Serve over steamed rice and maybe some green beans or sag paneer.

Refrigerate the leftovers cause it's even better the next day. In fact, I often make this on Sunday afternoon and throw it in the fridge for an easy weeknight supper.

I have made this twice and really like it. It is quick, tasty, and pretty healthy. I add red pepper flakes and grated parmesean prior to serving.

1. go to central market
2. in meat department, procure some of the following pre-marinated/seasoned chicken breasts:

ancho-coriander, garlic pesto, conchinita, jerk, lime-cilantro (or any others)

3. grill

seriously, these things are amazing and consistent. i know my way around the kitchen pretty damn well, but i know when I can't do better and admit this product's superiority.

* And WTF to any recipe using pace picante sauce. gross.

I almost always end up marinating chicken breast in Mojo Criollo - Goya makes a good one if you don't feel like making it yourself. It's also great on pork chops.

remove stems and seeds from 2 anchos, 3 guajillo or New Mexico (dried) peppers, and a chipotle. Put in a sauce pot, add 2-3 cloves of garlic and about 1/4 onion. Cover with chicken broth (or water). Bring to a boil, cover and simmer about 15 minutes, then let it steam for a few more minutes. Pour in a blender, and salt, pepper, juice of 1/2 lime, a little cumin, and a tablespoon or so of honey (or brown sugar if you don't have honey). Puree in a blender until smooth. Use to marinate the breasts for a few hours, then grill.

Not to derail the thread........but when you catch pork tenderloins for between $2 and $3 / lb., that's about $7 for a pack of two tenderloins.

Go buy good old Montreal Chicken or Garlic Herb seasoning and grill. It's good to use the garlic and herb, grill the chicken, then serve with pasta mixed with some of the jarred Pesto mix-- Classico makes a good one.

Italian Chicken Boobs:
Brown some Italian sausage. (Owens, or you can be fancy and de-tube the other kind.) Throw in some mushrooms to saute with the meat if you like em. Add a jar of your favorite pasta sauces and cook until warm.

Place 4 uncooked chicken boobs in a casserole dish. Cover with the sausage and sauce mix. Put as much or little cheese on top as you like. Bake for about half an hour or so at 350. Serve over pasta.
