Chicken Breast - what would you do

Think you can cook a dish that would win Master Top Iron Chef? Well here is the place to share. All the talk about food and good eating goes here. If you think a McAngus burger is gourmet, best you stay away.

Chicken Breast - what would you do

Post by Bauer »

So lets say you look in the fridge tomorrow morning and find 4 fresh chicken breasts. You decide you will cook these for the evening meal for the family.

what would you do with them?

If its warm - BBQ
Get a container, juice of a lemon, 2 cloves of garlic crushed, chopped rosemary (dried is fine) salt pepper, half a glass of water.
Slash the chicken one third thru each side, into the mixture for 12 hours.

Get out, pat dry with paper towel, rub with oil - BBQ.
Simple saled of mixed leaves, pine nuts, good cheese bits, - dress well with oil/vinegar/touch of mustard - Bobs your uncle.

Open up the meaty flap bit in the middle (or cut one)
Put a desert spoon of mascarpone cheese in there.
Close it over again. Wrap in bacon (2 or 3 rashers each) and pin it all together with cocktail sticks.
Slap it in the oven at about 200C for 30 mins or so until done.
Serve with a jacket potato and cheese and some veggies.

luuuuurvly :)

A nice simple one, probably two breasts max though:

Fry some diced onion and crushed garlic, dice the chicken and brown it. Throw in a heap of cream, sweet chilli sauce, & some kalamata olives. Cook some shell pasta and chuck it in... reduce it so it has a nice creamy consistency, salt to taste. Serve with some salad and mashed spud :yummy:

LOL still here

This was a hit. All 4 plates were emptied including the fussy 9 year old :up: In fact it is him that stops me from trying many new things. As he gets older he is getting more and more of a taste for different foods but while he eats I am happy to keep it simple and experiment when he isnt here :)

cheers

Ricotta and Sage Chicken Brest

Mix together...

1/2 table spoons of ricotta (i think, hehe will give you the correct amount tonight when i get home)
2 table spoons of chopped sage
1 tea spoon of lemon zest
2 cloves of crshed garlic
1/2 cup of parmesan cheese

Make a slit lengthways along the brest and stuff each brest with the mixture. Wrap each brest with 2 slices of perchutto and use toothpics to hold the slit closed. Spray the outside with oil and cook on the bbq.

Serve on a bed of rice.

yum!

I am quite a fan of poaching chicken breasts (or even better chicken thighs) in beer with garlic and mushrooms.
Heat some butter and garlic in a pan
pop in the chicken and semi cook top of breast / thighs
poor in beer of choice (I recommend a dark ale) and reduce till you have only a bit of beer left (enough to make a sauce)
while chicken is reducing, make some mash potatoes.
once reduced take out the chicken and add a little cream to enhance the beer sauce.

I know it's the next day - but here's 2 option Bauer.... even my 4yo digs into both of these. And quite simple coz I'm shit in the kitchen.

Honey/Soy marinade for a good coupla hours (overnight/during the day if you're more organised than I) and BBQ on low. Throw together a salad, Pumpkin&Potato Bake (or both) and presto! Nice n easy.

Stir fry with:
1 x onion - diced
1/2 capsicum - sliced
2 x carrot - sliced into stick
3/4 cup of peas n corn (or whatever other vegies you have)
1 x cup of cashew nuts

together with the sauce:
which is oyster sauce/soy sauce/extra 2 spoonfuls of honey and some bbq sauce for a bit more flavour (not much!).

throw on top of some plain rice and there ya have it.


Or you can cheat and get the sauce packet from Coles/Wollies.
