chicken my way

Baked in the oven on a bed on sliced onions. Seasoned with a small amount of kosher salt, freshly ground pepper, and garlic powder. Half way through covered with cream of mushroom soup. I love the mixture of the flavours and the different textures of the chicken and mushrooms.

Chicken Breasts

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Heat oven-proof skillet (iron is best) on stove top. Season skinless breasts with salt and pepper. Place in hot skillet. Brown the chicken breasts in either butter or canola oil. Brown each side 2 to 3 minutes. Flavor with garlic powder and possibly onion powder and a hint of paprika on the presentation side.

Cut chicken to reasonable sizes, and put them in a clean pot. Add seasonings:curry,thyme and onions. Then cover it to boil for 30 minutes. Remove the chicken and fry in a deep fryer. Blend red pepper, onions, tomatoes and pour the mixture in a seperate pot. Add the broth from the parboiled chicken and add the vegetable fat gotten after frying.

Grilled on an indoor grill

I love this list of chicken recipes and the chance to add mine. I like to marinate my boneless, skinless chicken breasts in sesame dressing and then grill them on my indoor grill. Yes, it's a George Foreman, but any brand will do! :) They come out moist and juicy, and I always make extra to use in a main-course chicken salad the next day.

Easy Chicken Taco meat

I boil my chicken breast in water with taco seasoning and chicken boullion. One or two breast, just a couple cups of water, not too much and about 1/3 pack of seasoning and a teaspoon or so of boullion. Boil for about 20 mins...remove chicken, chop up and ..done! I also use the same mix for chicken soup, add more of everything according to how much you want....add veggies! Yum!
