Anyone have easy chicken recepies? I mean, I don't know how to cook plain chicken. I need help.

 

Easiest I've done is just rub chicken with some salt, pepper and olive oil and then grill.

I made a parmesan encrusted chicken breast last week and it came out really well, and was easy.

INGREDIENTS

• 4 (4 ounce) boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
• 1/2 cup seasoned bread crumbs
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
• 1 egg
• 1 tablespoon butter or margarine
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

DIRECTIONS

1. Flatten chicken to 1/4-in. thickness.
2. In a shallow bowl, combine bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese and basil.
3. In another bowl, beat the egg.
4. Dip chicken into egg, then coat with crumb mixture.
5. In a large skillet, brown chicken in butter and oil over medium heat for 3-5 minutes on each side or until juices run clear.

The only thing is that you want to get the chicken really thin.

I had it with some pasta.

Enjoy

 

^^Awesome!!! I will defrost the chicken tonight (for tomorrow).

 

Quick and Easy. I use the Forman grill for chicken as well. Just be careful not to overcook.

That recipe sounds good as well.

 

When I made it last, I cheated and instead of pounding the chicken, I took a chicken breast and just cut it thinner.

 

Pounding the chicken sounds like more fun....

PS. How do you pound chicken....Im serious

 

Place chicken breast between wax paper and pound away with a meat pounder....



You can also use a pan, rolling pin or pretty much anything that you will use to beat the crap out of someone.

 

I only beat my veal. :gheylaugh:

 

Another easy one is to mince some boneless skinless thighs or breasts and toss with teryaki and any seasonings in fry pan to make the filling for lettuce wraps like the ones at Pei Wei or PF Changs. I add some minced water chestnut in at the end for extra crunch.

Let it cool a bit and wrap em up in some lettuce leaves.

 

The lettuce wraps are the shizzle....How do you mince chicken... Im serious

 

You're screwed....go buy the Colonel.



You can buy chicken minced. Easier than mincing it your self with a grinder.

 

Not here....I think I need a grinder...

 

I use a knife and keep on going.

Seriously, slice it into thin strips, then cut across that a number of times. It doesn't have to be hamburger consistency, just small pieces.

 

I'm making it for dinner tonight. Takes 10 minutes. Peeling the lettuce leaves damn near takes longer than mincing the chicken

 

Nice

 

What did you end up preparing, and how was it?

 

He probably haven't started yet. It's only afternoon out there right now.

 

I definitely need to make that. I love the lettuce wraps at PFChangs.

 

we're finally getting a PF Changs locally

 

Wife has a dinner at work, so I am taking my son out to eat. Maybe tomorrow night.

 

lol... after all this.

 

Wife did a quick chicken curry (Japanese style) meal last night.

Boil one chicken breast till cooked (cut with knife to make sure its not pink in center)
Chop 1/2 medium onion
slice 1 carrot.
saute onion & carrot until softened
add curry brickqette and water (whatever amount is required, see box)
cut up chicken into small pieces and add to curry mixture.
bring to boil till curry brickqette dissolves then simmer for 5 min.
serve over white rice.

It took her all of 1/2 hour to prepare and was pretty good.

 

the spare ribs are good too

 

I have a really good curry chicken recipe that I'm trying to find and post.

 

Always a good one:

Once you "beat the meat" (not ) into a scallopini/cutlet, you can make darn near anything.

Picatta-lemon butter sauce
Parmesean-tomato and cheese
Marsala-wine sauce

Lots of options.

whiskers, Were here for you when you need cooking assistance from the US.

 

1 tsp. garlic powder or 2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp. tumeric
1 1/2 tsp. curry powder
1 tsp. ginger
2 1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 large onion, chopped
8 or so bay leaves

1 cup milk
3/4 cup water
1 chicken, cut up
1/2 tsp. salt - I usually don't add the salt

Wash chicken and cut or pull off excess fat. Place chicken in a large skillet or pan.
Add onion, garlic and bay leaves.
Add spices and water. (I put water in cup and add spices to water to mix up, then pour over chicken)
Bring to boil, cover, and cook over low heat (just barely boiling) for about an hour, turning once.
Add milk.When milk is hot, serve with rice and cabbage and chutneys.

To cook cabbage - just cut in fourths or so, salt and pepper, put in pan with a little water and cook until the cabbage is tender.
