I told pjlla I would post some recipes for her. Feel free to add any of your Chicken Breast recipes here.

Sesame Chicken

2 T defatted reduced sodium chicken broth
1 T minced fresh parsley
1 T finely chopped scallions (I substitute onion powder)
1/2 T reduced sodium soy sauce
1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
1/2 cloves garlic minced
1/2 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
1 pinch ground coriander
1 drop hot pepper sauce
6 ounces boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 1 1/2 breast halves) cut into 1/2 inch wide strips
1/2 T sesame seeds

1. In a medium bowl, combine the broth, parsley, scallions, soy sauce, oil, garlic, ginger, coriander, and hot pepper sauce. Add the chicken and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes. Preheat the broiler.

2. Drain the chicken. Discard the marinade. Thread the chicken strips on separate 6in metal skewers in loose S shapes. Sprinkle with sesame seeds.

3. Place the skewers on the rack of a broiling pan. Broil 4 in. from the heat for 3 minutes. Turn the skewers over and broil for 3-5 minutes more or until chicken is no longer pink.

Notes: *I don't even bother with the skewers! I just put the strips on the broiler pan and then turn with tongs



Baked Chicken

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 teaspoons fresh tarragon (we use dried rosemary, we don't like tarragon)
1/2 cup button mushroom, sliced thin
2 cloves garlic
1/4 cup white wine
1 cup chicken stock
1 Tablespoon olive oil
1/2 cup fresh grated parmesan cheese
salt and pepper

1. Preheat oven to 400. Chop tarragon and garlic together with olive oil and make a paste. Massage garlic mixture all over chicken.

2. Place chicken in 9x9 class baking dish. Add mushrooms, stock and white wine and cover with foil. Bake for 25 minutes.

3. Remove foil, baste chicken and sprinkle cheese on top of each. Bake uncovered for another 5-10 minutes or until browned and cheese has melted.

* Since we have 4 people I double the chicken, but don't double the liquid (wine and chix stock). There is plenty here.



Savory Chicken Saute

3 Boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
1 Large onion, sliced
2 cloves Garlic, minced
1 tbl. Fresh rosemary leaves, chopped

Preparation

Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sauté the chicken breasts in the oil for 4 minutes, then turn them over and add the onion. Cover and cook for 3 minutes longer, stirring occasionally. Add the garlic, rosemary, and broth. Cover and cook until the onion is tender-crisp, about 5 minutes longer, stirring occasionally. Season with salt and pepper.

* I bake on a Pampered Chef stone or on a cooling rack on a cookie sheet so the bottom stays crisper
 
Some great sounding recipes there. Definately going to try some of them.

I'll share my favorite chicken marinade for grilling season:


Lemon Thyme Chicken:

1- 1 1/2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts

3 tablespoons vegetable oil ( I use olive oil)

Juice from one lemon

1 tablespoon grated fresh lemon peel

1 tablespoon minced garlic

1 tablespoon minced fresh thyme OR
1 teaspoon dried thyme leaves ( I have substituted Rosemary, Italian herbs, Mrs. Dash Salt Free Seasoning , and Lemon Pepper Seasoning. It works well with all of these!)

salt and ground pepper to taste


Instructions:
Combine all ingredients then add chicken (I marinate meat in a zip lock bag so you can "massage" the meat. Marinate in refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
Grill, eat and enjoy!!

Great on whole breast, or chunks of chicken for kabobs, have also used this marinade on grilled shrimp.
 
LovetoScrap, are the cornflake crumbs from the cereal? Do you just smash them? I am obviously not much for cooking, but DH and I are trying to loose weight, and this sounds like something the whole family will eat (the oven fried chicken). Thanks.
