Any chicken breast recipes?

need something new easy and kid friendly and not dryAny chicken breast recipes?
The key to having, not dry, chicken breasts are obviously not over cooking them. Be careful of the temp, and make sure you check on them every once in a while.





I like getting shake and bake for those nights that you need a quick fix. You can also use Panko breadcrumbs if you want a more crunchy, chicken.





If you have kids, this is one way to get them involved in the kitchen::





A delicious way to bread chicken is using ... believe it or not... potato chips. If you take a big gallon ziploc bag full of potato chips (sour cream and onion or barbeque work really well) you can have the kids smash them up for you.


From there, all you have to do is do the three quick steps.


- dredge in flour (lightly sifted)


- dredge in egg wash (eggs, scrambled with salt and pepper)


- and then lightly toss the in potato chips





With these you can either put them in a pan with some oil and cook them till brown on both sides, or put them in the oven for about 400. Cook until lightly turning brown (checking periodically for white, NO PINK, chicken in the middle.)





P.S. -- It also makes it more fun to cut them into tenders,,, kids love finger food.Any chicken breast recipes?
Lemon Chicken


4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves


4 teaspoons flour


salt and pepper


2 teaspoons oil


1/2 cup chicken broth


1 teaspoon minced garlic


2 teaspoons lemon juice


1 teaspoon butter





1 Flatten chicken slightly. Dust with flour. Salt and pepper chicken.


2 Fry in hot oil 5 minutes each side. Remove chicken from pan.


3 To pan add broth, garlic, lemon juice and butter. Cook 2 minutes. Pour over chicken.
I have one that my kids love to eat. You can make a chicken tetrazinni. What kid doesn't love pasta, chicken and cheese. Simply pound out your chicken breast season on both sides. put a nice seer on them to get carmelized. In the meantime you should boil your pasta noodles according to the package directions. I generally use spaghetti noodles but any type of dried pasta would work. Once you have cooked the pasta and the chicken is done. I would dice up the chicken into bite size chunks. Place the chicken and the pasta into a casserole dish, add the shredded cheese and seasonings you desire. Plus a can of either cream of chicken soup or mushroom soup. Top with additional cheese if you like. Place into the oven at 350 for about 20 minutes. I suggest a side salad and some garlic bread on the side and you'd be good to go.
Here are some recipes that will add a new exciting twist to plain chicken breasts:
