buying bulk from costco, do you guys just buy plain ones and marinade them yourself? i’ve bought ones that already have flavors like honey bbq before and am tired of them. whats the easiest marinade to make that doesn’t start tasting like shit after eating 3 months straight?
I like to bake mine in the oven. Cheap chicken breasts from wal-mart (Great Value or whatever) spice with lemon pepper and herbs and pepper, two slices of orange above and below the chicken, wrap each individually in aluminum foil, go to the gym work out, come home shower, then eat chicken.

If i love chicken and have no problem eating it every day, does that make me a GENETIC FREAK too, sorta

So easy and so delicious!
take out of package, throw 3-4 on grill, take off when cooked, drench with louisiana hot sauce and eat on top of lettuce.

shit sux.

I have a whole breast that has been marinading for 3 days
table spoon of EVOO in a frying pan.. thin cut boneless, skinless breasts go in there.. little bit of lemon pepper seasoning on top, let it cook 5 minutes on each size, then 90 seconds on each side after that..

take out, cut up into pieces, throw some balsalmic vinegar on it. eat it with a baked potato and a tiny bit of butter.
cook them in the crock pot with some low sodium chicken broth and italian dressing.
I’ve been using those pre-flavored chicken packs from costco. Stick 4 on the grill and then just snack on them cold with some veggies.
pan fry them. Slice the breasts into thin strips. Put a little olive oil on the pan and bit of crushed galric and diced onions. Then add strips of chicken. Season with salt and pepper.
Salt and pepper.

When I get bored with that i’ll add low sodium bread crumbs, kickin’ chicken spices, or low carb bbq sauce.

I tend to do less with the chicken itself, and more with the surrounding dishes. Like chicken fajita’s with low-carb/whole wheat torilla’s and bell peppers + hot sauce.
Or a homemade burrito bowl with chicken, black beans, brown rice, low fat cheese, olives and hot sauce.
Also, putting some low sodium taco seasoning on chicken makes it fucking great in nearly any dish.

sounds awesome

i’m gonna marinate my next steak for a loooong time son.

edit: my mom will, i lied.
¼ cup dry white wine
¼ cup olive oil
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 cloves garlic, crushed
2 teaspoons oregano
1 teaspoon crushed red-pepper flakes
½ teaspoon salt
4 6-oz boneless, skinless chicken breasts

Dump all the ingredients into a large resealable bag, seal, and shake until the chicken is evenly coated. Refrigerate the bag for 1 to 2 hours. In the meantime, tear off four 15-inch-long pieces of foil.

When the chicken is ready, place one breast in the center of each piece of foil and fold the edges of the foil up to form a bowl. Pour one-quarter of the remaining marinade inside each bowl, then press the foil together to seal the chicken inside.
i season mine and bake them. I could eat chicken breasts forever.

too much work for 3 meals
just tried this recipe for balsamic glazed chicken last night. pretty fucking tasty

just some montreal seasoning, chew, swallow with water.
today i was eating chicken with rice and was asking myself.. "why the fuck am i torturing myself with the same food every day"..

don’t know how to multiply?
Switch it up all the time. Today I cooked a can of pinto beans with 8oz of chicken in it. Put that shit in a bowl w/salsa and ate that shit up.
I season mine with salt and pepper, slices of onion on top of breast, cooked in oven at 450* for ~20 min, depending how thick/big the breasts are.

Here’s another recipe I like to switch it up to:
Chicken breasts boiled to the point where it’s falling apart, drain broth, let breasts cool down, break breasts down into strips, mix it with rice powder, fish sauce, diced cilantro, diced lemon grass (not the leaves, just the bottom part), diced mint leaves or leave as whole, bean sprouts, diced lemon leaves, black pepper, diced raw chili peppers, lemon juice, mix it all up like a salad and eat. I probably am forgetting a few ingredients, but the above should be good.
I use lemon pepper, garlic sea salt, brown sugar, marjoram, rosemary, savory, sage, basil and oregano. And sometimes in addition to that this poultry rubs I have. You can also toss bacon on top too when baking it.

So you put all that stuff on and put it in a aluminium bowl and place a bit of butter on top of the chicken pieces, cover with foil and poke holes in it…bake @400 degrees for 65-75 minutes in the oven and it’s done. (I rarely do it this way though)

OR If you want at 45 minutes you can flip the pieces and add whatever BBQ sauce (homemade or your fav brand) and continue for the next 20-30 minutes and have G ass bbq. Usually at 45 minutes though I’ll transfer the bowl to my grill and again at around 400-430 degrees let them ‘bake’ in the bowl for another 20-25 minutes and move them to the grill to blacken them some on high flame and back into the bowl for 2-4 mins with the boiling BBQ sauce.

Why cook so long? I just made 4 chicken breasts at 425 in only 30

That’s for a whole chicken that’s cut up with extra breats(like my white meat). Adjust accordingly to how much chicken, thickness…etc. Should’ve included that originally though.

Also I’m cooking at 400 degrees. I can finish chicken in 30 minutes @425-450 but cooking it slower keeps it juicy as hell through out the whole thing. But I bake at about 430ish if I’m in a rush, which I tend not to be when cooking.
Interesting to see people cooking at a high temp, I thought the norm for chicken breasts was 350

the lower temp the more moisture it’s going to hold. 300-350 is the perfect temperature IMO

I just made something today in the crock pot that turned out really good

2 x 10oz Cream of Mushroom
2 x 11oz Cream of Chicken
2 x 11oz Cream of Cheddar
2.5 lbs of Sliced Chicken
16oz of Sour Cream

Combine all in crock pot, high for 4 hours, add some minced garlic and some salt and pepper

Serve over warm, buttery pasta

That sounds really good but also really fattening

it’s basically fat free with the exception of a little bit in the chicken and the butter, which could be avoided.

you reminded me about the sour cream though

Ahh I see see, Ill try that soon mine turns out a bit dry
just made chicken tonight for the family.. marinade in italian dressing overnight, cook while slapping on bbq sauce.

best chicken ever guaranteed if you know what youre doing
forman grill it up.

hot sauce
teriyaki marinade
soy
ketchup or whatever.

I just switch it up.
I prepare my chicken breast pretty basic.

I cook it in boiling water. After being cooked I cut it up into meal portion sizes. Upon making a meal I will heat it up and then sprinkle a dash of season salt and Old Bay on it with pepper and about a teaspoon or so of Jack Danials spicy BBQ or Texas Pete hot sauce.

I however took a few ideas from reading this thread and I’m gonna try them out.

I’m gonna try this and see what’s up. Sounds tasty.

everything turns out better with more time put into it.

Faggot.
I cook my chicken the way any real man would.

Take out of package. Smother BBQ sauce. Place on BBQ for 15-18 minutes.

Cut into pieces, place on Rice. Consume.
the GF or the reg grill is where its at. i get the mccormic hanmburger seasoning, sprinkle that or salt pep garlic on that shit and grill it up.

sesame oil ftmfw adds so much
black pepper and crushed red pepper then toss in the oven for 30min at 350deg…

good

That sounds really good. Almost makes me want to buy a crockpot.

I’m lazy though – teriyaki marinade, grill on Foreman 5mins at 375, serve over pasta or rice. In fact, it’s what I’ll be eating tonight.
onion salt, chopped garlic, curry powder.. marinate the chicken breast and throw it on the foreman grill.

Holy FAT
They used to sell breast only rotisserie chicken at my local grocery store for like $4, $3 if it was on sale. Buy a couple of those bitches.

Otherwise, marinate in shit I have lying around the kitchen and throw on a frying pan.
