Delicious Chicken Breasts

[Growth&Courage]

Can anyone teach me how to cook chicken breasts VERY low in cooking oil (prefarable none) + no dairy products and yet make it nutritious, healthy and actually DELICIOUS?

I've tried some Asian recipe (light marination style) but it turned out ugly (still I ate the damn thing coz being hungry all the time)

So, what should I do to these breasts?

 

[eat big]

grilling them is best. just put some honey and lemon pepper on them then just spray the grill lightly with non-stick cooking spray.

Can I grill them on George's portable griller? Will that do the job?

Also I'm not sure if the honey + lemon + pepper will erased the chicken smell though (which I detest). Ya sure it'll cover up the smell of the rawness of the breasts?

You don't have to use oil to cook chicken in....... I cook mine most often in a fry pan with cooking spray alone..... just keep the heat low, cover with a lid and turn it so it won't burn.... I never cook chicken in dairy products either....

Otherwise grill it or cook on the Foreman grill....... there are a myriad of spices available that it would take too long to list them!!

As for the texture of the raw meat and the "smell" -- if chicken breasts "smell" they may be bad. They really shouldn't smell like anything....now if you're just squeamish about it.....you'll either get used to it or get over it

Heres a great low fat recipie for my "Tequilla lime Chicken" (made it last night)

1/2 cup gold tequila
1 cup fresh squeezed lime juice (about 5-6 limes) u must go with fresh!
1/2 cup fresh squeezed orange juice (about 2 oranges) ( u can substitute)
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 tablespoon minced jalapeno pepper (1 pepper seeded or not)
1 tablespoon minced fresh garlic (3 cloves)
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper.
3 whole (6 split) boneless chicken breasts, skin on or off


combine the tequila, lime juice, orange juice, chili powder, jalapeno pepper, garlic, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Add chicken breasts. refridge overnight or at least a few hrs.

heat a grill pan or grill and brush with olive oil. (or pam spray), and grill chicken breasts,.

(I like to pound the chicken breasts flat with a mallet)

real easy, tons of flavor, and almost no fat!

Soak your chicken breast in cold water and kosher salt (yes, only kosher salt will do and no not a lot of salt). Let if soak for 20-30 or do it when you buy them and throw them in a zip lock bag after.

Oh and after you soak them rinse the off really well and pat dry.

They'll be juicy when you cook them.

Thanks guys!

jenscats5: I will try cooking my chicken breasts in an ordinary pan with lid on, see whether it'll be cooked or burned or not.

alphamale: I will try that recipe soon, but it appears very limey/citricy - ok for my gentle tunny?

jest3r - Italian dressing for mariation- that sounds awesome and easy. I must try that.

Velvett - what is kosher salt? Are they easily available in China town or some grocery store? Why will not ordinary salt do the job?

Watch the heat -- keep it medium/low & turn it a lot.....

As for the Kosher Salt -- you can get it at the grocery store. It's labelled "Kosher Salt" or "Sea Salt" -- try & get fine so you don't have to grind it. Basically, regular salt is mined, stripped down, iodized, etc & it has no taste, etc...... Kosher/Sea salt is not as salty -- has a great flavor -- and really brings out the flavor of food. Try it -- it's worth it!
