Someone here can surely cook - right??

[TrickyBob]

I have chicken breasts that I am making dinner with, however I typically slap on some sort of okay BBQ sauce and shove them in the oven until done.

I'm not digging that today.

What are your go to or best/favorite chicken breast recipes?

[panicked]

Bay seasoning mixed with seasoned bread crumbs. Dip in flour, shake off excess. Dip in egg wash, shake off excess. Dip in breadcrumbs with bay seasoning. Bake until crispy and golden brown.

[mypunkinpie]

Marinate them in Italian salad dressing or a mixture of soy sauce, oil, garlic and ginger. Grill or broil.

[Le Olive]

Chicken kabobs w/bell peppers, pineapple and onion, chicken parmesan, sweet and sour or sesame chicken w/rice

[cbwm1]

I like a marinade with lemon juice, lemon zest, garlic, salt, pepper, rosemary and thyme, and then grill the chicken. SO GOOD.

This also makes a good chicken salad when marinated this way.

ETA: Olive oil, too. Derp.

[sterl724]

Mmmmm - kabobs sounds so good!

[lkoenig]

I slather on mayo, coat w/breadcrumbs (and a little seasonings) bake on 350 for 30 minutes, walla!

[bleubook]

Marinade or dry rum them and throw them on the grill.
YUM. Pound them out if you are doing direct heat
or cook over indirect heat if they are thick.
serve over salad.

Or cut them all up and stir fry them with veggies.

[hey]

Blend panko/breadcrumbs with parsley, grated parmesan cheese and set aside. Mix together mayo, dijon mustard, pepper and garlic powder.Dip chicken into mayo mix and then roll in panko/bc until well coated. Bake on 350 until done. It's called Baked Crispy Chicken Dijon. I love it!

[dcannie]

saute diced onion in butter, move to side of the pan, throw in chopped chicken breast(s), cook most of the way through. throw in a can or two of diced tomatoes, cumin, garam masala, paprika. cover and let simmer. make a slurry w/ cream and cornstarch, add to chicken & tomatoes. add red pepper flakes, let simmer and come together a few more minutes. serve over jasmine rice.

i don't measure, soooo, this is my idea of a recipe.

[TrickyBob]

Hmmm; anytime I use breadcrumbs it never gets crispy, it just turns into soggy mush, no matter how long it is in the oven.

[gozf]

Coat in taco seasoning. Dump jar of salsa on top. Bake at 350 for 40 minutes, then sprinkle on cheese. Bake 5 more minutes. Then put them in your mouth.

[honeybee]

Our go to the past few weeks has been to just top the whole breast with a mixture of panko bread crumbs, fresh parm, lemon zest, crushed anchovies, S+P, parsley and olive oil. Bake 450 degrees for 20 ish minutes. Serve with a Cesar salad. Yum.

[Jermys]

I marinate them in white wine and rosemary and then grill them. Delish!

[Deleted]

Red curry paste (it's not spicy, just flavorful) and olive oil. Marinate, bake or Foreman.

[hey]

I called my mom and she wanted to know if you use a baking rack? She said that may help. Have you tried the Panko? I like it better and may work better for you.

[poppyseed]

Pesto Chicken.

Olive oil, salt & pepper on the chicken breasts. Then spread pesto on them, add a little asiago or parmesan cheese. Bake at 350 for 25 minutes. I like to turn the broiler on low the last few minutes and get a nice crust on the chicken.

[exploding people]

Put the chicken in one of those tiny crock pots with salsa and condensed cream of chicken soup. Put in on low when you leave in the morning. Come home, shred the chicken, and put it in tortillas.

[eb777888]

I'm about to throw three large breasts in the crockpot and we're gonna have shredded chicken tacos for the week. We're leaving for vacation on Friday and I don't want to have to worry about dinner.
It's pretty foolproof. Throw chicken in there, some water or chicken stock, spices like chili powder, salt, cumin, a little cayenne. Sometimes when I don't want to mess with spices I'll throw a jar of salsa in there.
Then I saute some onions, make some guac, warm some corn tortillas and walla. Easy and healthy.

[Le Olive]

I made this over the weekend and it was really good: allrecipes.com/recipe/brooklyn-girls-penne-arrabiata/

[cbwm1]

Another recipe I really like -

Cut the chicken up in to small, bite sized pieces. Season with S&P. In a really big pan, sautee some minced garlic in olive oil. Once that's softened/slightly brown, add the chicken.

While doing this, cook a short cut pasta like rotini.

Once the chicken is cooked and the pasta is almost done, add in a tub of prepared pesto to the chicken and melt that down. Then add a little pasta water at a time until you get a creamy consistency to the sauce. Add the pasta and stir everything to coat with the pesto sauce.

I sprinkle on some Parmesan to serve. It's SO GOOD.

I have a similar dish I make. I saute garlic, onions & bell pepper with salt, pepper, olive oil & TJ 21 seasonings. Then I slice the chicken breast down the middle to make it thinner & cut into bite-size pieces. I coat it in a mixture of milk/paprika and then dip it into Italian seasoned bread crumbs. For some reason, my DH likes that better than Panko.

Push the veggies to the outer corners & cook the chicken in the center. When they're 75% done, I deglaze the pan with red wine if I do tomatoes & white wine if not. Then I had crushed tomatoes & a cornstarch/water slurry to thicken. Then let it simmer on low until it's tender. I also don't measure, so I can't help with that.

ETA: Oops, I meant mushrooms, not bell peppers, although that would work too.

I use panko and sometimes I use just weis store brand bread crumbs.

I put them on a baking sheet. I never really thought to put them on a baking rack.

Chicken Parmesan, Pollo Poblano, a Chicken Crostina that is super yummy (white wine cream sauce with tomato), grill with italian dressing & throw it in some salad or just eat with veggies, chicken enchiladas. I could go on & on. I mostly cook chicken.

You're my new best friend. I hate cooking chicken and am very unimaginative with it.

Everyone's recipes sound so good! I may have to force myself to start making chicken more just to try a lot of these out.

[litebright]

I like this recipe. The apple salsa is a really nice contrast to the chicken. It's got a god spicy kick to it, too!

I make it without the potato/breadcrumb coating & just rub the chicken in italian herbs and salt & vinegar. I also use white cooking wine. Even DH who HATES tomatos loves this.
