Moist chicken recipe for Spatts

[Puddles]

A couple of months ago, Spatts was looking for a way to cook chicken and keep it moist. I made this a week ago and this morning I finished it when I added it to my egg beaters, mushroom, onion, brown rice scramble. Made another batch tonight.

4 or 5 lb. bag of boneless chicken breasts or tenders
1 26 oz. jar of Classico Portobello Mushroom sauce
1/2 of a 32 oz. jar of marinated artichoke hearts (use the marinade liquid as well as the artichokes)
one bag of chopped frozen onions
one bag of chopped frozen mushrooms

Just slosh it all together in a metal lassagna pan, cover with foil and bake at 375 for 1 1/2 hrs. Stir once after about an hour and re-cover with foil. Done.

I ate this all week with brown rice. There will be a lot of liquid in the pan...keep the chicken in the liquid in the fridge. The sauce is delicious spooned on rice and the chicken's not at all dry.

There was more than half of the sauce remaining that I dumped out...kept the chicken in it to retain moisture mainly. The sauce winds up very liquidy due to the veggies and chicken juices.

(I get the artichoke hearts at Sams's club. I put the jar in the fridge to solidify the fat and scoop it off before using it so the fat will be lower than listed.)

That sounds delicious! I'm making it tomorrow.


I need all the help I can get because I'm an awful cook

i'm gonna give that a shot, my hubby loves artichokes, i don't but i figure i can just pick them out like a little kid, lol

the only thing i see that i've never bought is the frozen onions and mushrooms, can you use fresh instead?

 

[Puddles]

Sure...I'd use one onion and one package of shrooms. I just buy the frozen stuff for convenience...it's pre-cut and I can buy in bulk and store it in the chest freezer.

I'm not a fan of going to the supermarket very often. Tonight is my run to Sam's Club...3 or 4 cases of bottled water, 5 bags of chicken tenders, about 20 cans of salmon, 8 gallons of milk and a few loaves of their multi-grain bread. That's about all that will fit in my little Honda trunk.

You've probably already tried this, but if you submerge frozen chicken breasts in a bowl of water and microwave or boil for about 20-30 minutes, the water keeps them super moist... I usually top the finished breasts with fat free cheese -- or lightly brush the surface with Smucker's Light Apricot Jelly... sounds weird, but it's gooooooood and EZ to make!

Glad you liked it! On Christmas I gave my mother a container full that I had in the fridge and she loved it too. I've been getting creative in the kitchen again...something I stopped doing when all my husband wanted to eat was grilled chicken and burgers...now I'm cooking for myself again as well as for him...there's only so much shoe leather chicken I can take!
