How do you prepare boneless, skinless chicken breasts?
Now that I am becoming an adult, I decided that chicken breasts should replace McChickens as a staple in my diet.
So far, I have been sprinkling them with salt and pepper occasionally coating them in oil and flour before the s&p. What do you all like to do with them? I am looking for simple ideas, not interested in the 11 ingredient casserole that your grandmother makes on special occasions. I am thinking prep time should be around 5 mins. I just swiped a sleeve of ritz crackers from my vacationing parents. I think I am going to crush those up and coat it in them tonight. |

My favorite way is to marinate them, usually in low-fat Italian dressing (Just 2 Good is the best kind), and then cut it up into cubes and cook it in the marinade in a fry pan on the stove. Grilling is good too, but they cook better when cut up, and obviously this wouldn't work on the grill. Also, the marinade in the pan forms a nice glaze on the little pieces.
Shake-n-Bake nuggets also rule. |

Chicken wraps are super easy and pretty good. Salt, pepper, some cayenne pepper, a bit of paprika, a bit of chili powder, some cumin, etc. Basically a mexican-type of spice. Then just add a bit of oil in a pan and cook it. If its a thick breast, pound it flat for faster cooking or broil it. After its cooked, cut it up into strips and put them in a tortilla with lettuce, tomato, and fat free sour cream. Add cheese if you want, etc. Takes less than 10 minutes to cook.

I marinate in olive oil and then sprinkle some garlic powder on top and possibly some other seasonings depending on what I have in my apartment at the moment.

I usually sprinkle them with some all-spice, fry some peppers and onions then put it all in the over for like 8-10 minutes. Also, you can just cover them in BBQ sauce and grill them.

[/ QUOTE ] this may push the envelope on what you consider simple, but you can do this in under 5 minutes Tequila Lime Chicken put your chicken in a bowl salt and pepper add juice of one lime(*) add garlic clove (pressed) add a shot glass of tequila (take one for yourself, too) fill the shotglass halfway with triple sec, fill the other half with vegetable oil, add that to the bowl let it marinate for a couple hours, then grill or broil (*) if you are up for it, zest the lime first and add that to the marinade, too |
