Post the easiest (good tasting) chicken breast recipe

[VENOMsK8r]

By easy I mean something you can just put in the oven with some good seasoning and get it juicy or something I can panfry. I also have an electric grill/foreman but the foreman always dries up my chicken breast and kills the flavor.

Just stick the whole breast in a pan with olive oil, cover, fry over low heat. Yes, it will take a while, but its worth it. After a while, cut it in half across the grain to see if its done in the middle. When it is, take it out and pour some picante sauce (salsa) over it. Soooooo tender when done correctly, and delicious.

I have to say taking 2 minutes to coat the chicken breast in a seasoning isn't so hard and makes such a difference. My personal favourite is cayenne pepper which is also believed to be a thermogenic food helping you burn calories, you could also try cumin,turmeric, italian seasoning, the list could be almost endless.

man i cant eat chicken breast anymore. not joking doesnt matter how i cook it 7 months in a row check 6 days a week for 7 god dam months just puts me off. the thought of it makes me sick. i get my protein from meats , veal is in nearly everyone of my meals. BUT when i had a appetite for it i would cut it up into pieces and season it with dijon mustard then pour teriyaki sauce on them and finally sprinkle bacon bits and parmesan cheese on top before baking

Crockpot shredded chicken breasts. Recipe here.

Basically, you stick 5 or 6 chicken breasts in a crockpot with a couple cans of rotel or a jar of salsa or something, a packet of taco seasoning (they're like 99 cents at most grocery stores), and let it cook on low for 5 hours or so. The chicken gets super tender and stays moist in all the juices.

You can use the shredded chicken to make rice bowls, tacos or burritos on whole wheat tortillas, or just have the chicken on the side of some veg or something.

season with black pepper, grill it, and add cayenne hot sauce. Chicken breast gets boring after a while tho. I find myself eating legs more often of course removing the skin.

[Virten]

Just season your chicken breasts and bake them when you want to eat them. I usually use texas pete hot sauce along with other spices.

Real quick:

- Chicken breast
- Seasoning salt, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, bacon salt, and thyme // oregano.

Bake on 425 until juices run clear.
Cut breast to make sure it's cooked through.

You'll thank me later.

Have you ever tried using ranch, butter, nacho cheddar or cheddar bacon popcorn seasoning on your chicken? It is amazing and adds nothing to your macros.

I marinate it in lemon juice with salt, pepper and other spices 10 hours before cooking.

This comes from a professional chef (myself, I own a restaurant).
Step 1: To make sure it is tender and holds in its juices you saute it in salty water for around 30 minutes, I recommend half a cup of salt, and garlic salt to add a bit of flavor.
Step 2: Take a rolling pin and beat it so it is nice and even so it will cook thoroughly.
Step 3: Take two tablespoons of olive oil and lather it nice and good throughout the whole breast.
Step 4: Season the breast with salt (kosher or sea works best) and pepper, use extremely generously

PAN FRY: Stick it on their and let it cook until golden brown on bottom side, then flip. Once even stick a thermometer (or cut it open and see to it that it is nice and white) and make sure it is at least 145 Degrees Fahrenheit. Eat, profit.

George Foreman Grill: Cook for around 9 minutes or so depending on thickness. Use judgement and cut the breast open to make sure it is white. Eat, profit.

Real Grill (one temperature only): Turn the grill to around 400-500 degrees Fahrenheit and cook for around 3-5 minutes on each side. Check to make sure the breast is white on inside when done. Eat, profit.

Two Temperature Grill: Turn one side of the grill on to around 200-300 degrees Fahrenheit and the other to around 400-500 degrees Fahrenheit. Cook mainly on hot side, if breast begins to look dry then put to cool side and cook it slowly.

Extra: Season with still such as parsley, oregano, etc...

I guarantee you this is the absolute best way to make tasty chicken breasts.

I like to just marinate mines in Honey Mustard and orange juice

Shake 'N Bake. Thin sliced.

The biggest part of having a juicy chicken breast, is not overcooking it. You can season it to your hearts content and over cook it (not a whole lot will dry them out) and it's terrible to eat. Cooking the breast slowing is key, seasoning comes second imo.

Agreed, the method matters far more.

For a thicker breast, 400 F for 20 minutes in the oven is a good standard. I would not recommend pan frying a thicker breast, because by the time you get the middle third cooked, the outer 2 thirds are overcooked. Cutlets are the way to go if you are using a skillet.

Fast sear on the grill to indirect on the cooler side of the grill also works.

BTW, strong bump game. Maybe the OP will chime in after almost 10 years and share what he's learned.
