4 Simple Ways To Cook Chicken Breast Recipes

SIMPLE BAKED CHICKEN BREASTS

Steps:

• Preheat convection oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Rub chicken breasts with olive oil and sprinkle both sides with salt and Creole seasoning. Place chicken in a broiler pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Flip chicken and cook until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 15 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
• Remove chicken from pan. Pour water into the pan, while scraping the browned bits of food off of the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Add more water if needed to dislodge the browned bits; serve alongside chicken.

4 SIMPLE WAYS TO COOK CHICKEN BREAST

Steps:

• Saute: Coat both sides with oil, cook above high heat for 10-15 minutes, turning often, until no longer pink in center. When almost done, sprinkle with a little salt and add fresh chopped cilantro or parsley, then fry a little longer on both sides. You can use the cilantro paste in a tube, tastes good too, and the tube lasts longer in fridge than the fresh cilantro would.
• Parboil: 15-20 minutes in simmering water (not high heat as that causes it to be rubbery or dry). Whole chicken parboils for 30-40 minutes.
• Bake: 60 minutes at 350 already thawed. 90 minutes covered at 350 for frozen.
• BEST FOR SHREDDING: steam the chicken breasts about 20 minutes, or wrap and steam. But -- wrap in what?
