why is there an herb next to that raw meat?

Brine it and bake it. Or slow cook it with some curry & veg.

>>8041924
Because women think that it looks nice.

>>8041933
But I'm a woman.

>>8041915

Stew. Hash. Stir-fry. Cut into strips and make tendies.

>>8041915
I grill and pan-sear a lot of chicken breast. For the grill, I will look online for a marinade, or if I'm lazy, I'll use Italian dressing. For the pan-sear, I just pat them dry, coat in salt and pepper, and lay them in a cast iron skillet that is coated with about a 1/2 tsp. of oil. The flip-often method produces the best results. They never come out dry, but I used to be a line cook, so I have good instincts for doneness.

>>8041942
Why don't you think that it looks nice?

>>8041970
I've tried making tendies, they always come out like shit.

Piccata

>>8041915
If you have loads, best to make something like a stew or a curry.

Stuff with cheese and wrap with parmaham.

>>8041915
use it to feed some chickens and then slaughter them for their thighs.

>>8041915
smash,poach,chilies sichuan pepper bangbang mothafuckin chicken

>>8041995
I dunno, don't really like the idea of decorating raw meat s'all

>>8041915
its by far the most healthy meat that exists because it has the best protein to caloric ratio that exists it is also the worst tasting but hey you cant have it all

>>8042106
>implying fat is unhealthy
>implying it isn't the only low-fat animal product

>>8042106
>worst tasting
Nitpick: it doesn't taste bad. Because it doesn't have much flavor!

grind it into a raft to make a consomme

>>8041915
Drench with Tabasco sauce, wrap in foil, and then bake.

Make it a billion different kinds of Mexican. I'm gonna convince my mom to let me Mexico spice the chicken breasts so I can serve it with my pico de gallo instead of a lame ass lettuce salad.

>Put that red sloppy shit on hot grill

It's like you want your marinade to burn.....

>>8042391
>burn
Charred my nigga

>>8042397

I'd prefer to call it
>>inept at cooking

>>8042402
OK mister fancy pants how would you make sirache chicken?

>>8042149
Thanks for this

>>8042407
I'd wipe the marinade off before grilling, then (if needed) make a sauce separately. Wiping off marinades before cooking is basic shit bro. We're talking cooking 101 here.

..though that's assuming I wanted to make sriracha chicken in the first place. Sriracha is not very acidic and it contains very little oil so it makes a pretty shitty marinade. Pleb-tier shit. You'd have better luck with oil, rice vinegar, garlic, and chilis pureed in your blender or food proc.

>>8042420
>not including lime
Memes aside dats sounds preddy gud. How much of each would you use for say a pound of sliced chicken breast?

butterfly, season and stuff with wild rice and mushrooms and a 1/4 stick of butter. truss roulade, voat with herbs and mustard and panfry until browned, bake in the oven for eight minutes.

remove the chicken and make a nice pan sauce with some white wine

Well, most argue that breast is the best for making fried strips (tendies).

You could also stir fry it.

My mom also said the breast was the shittiest part. I'm trying to eat clean so what part of the chicken would taste better and is still pretty cheap?

>>8041915
cut into pieces

bread it, sprinkle on your favorite chicken seasonings and then bake it

>>8042611
Definitely thigh.

It's not as lean, but it's a little higher in calories per gram so you get more out of your dollar.

>>8041915
What parts of the chicken are better? I always thought that breast was the best part. Or is it just a preference thing? I haven't had anything other then breast for a pretty long time.

>>8042616
>cut into pieces

THIS IS MY LAST RESORT

>>8042637
,, why? It's the most boring shitty piece of shit meat on it's own.

>>8043142
Its a song buddy.

How can I make chicken wings come out like their hotwings?

>>8043470
I don't know their current hot recipe, but I personally considered running some dried habanero seeds through a pepper grinder and adding them in as the 12th spice.

>>8042623
dark meat > light meat

I'm a wings and thighs guy.

I always steal the wings on the turkey on thanksgiving.

Buy some bacon ends.
Run the chickie tits and bacon ends through a mincer or food processor, then make sausages.
If you don't eat pork, go back where you came from; you don't belong here.

>>8041915
Fry it and make chicken nuggets.

>>8041942
it's kind of funny how many women there are on /ck/

really makes you think

If you have a buttload, then freeze as many as you can as quickly as you can.

Chicken breast is high protein, but little fat and little flavour. When cooking, either french them with some marinade for flavour, or bake with a brushing of olive oil and salt and pepper and whatever you you like, or coat and fry or bake in the oven.
BBQing chicken breast takes a special touch, if you don't know what you're doing then you'll fuck it up.
Leftover chicken breast is good in any number of things, but not as the main ingredient. Chicken salad, A tomato sandwich with a bit of chicken, whatever. Just don't expect the breast to "carry the meal".

When I'm lazy I sometimes stew them in mushroom soup out of a can. It comes out okay.

>Butterfly it
>Salt/Pepper
>Toss on stove, takes like 3 minutes tops
>Remove from pan after nicely seared on both sides and cooked, let it rest
>Toss some onions/shallots/garlic/whatever the fuck in with the chicken juice (Onions + some cream + flour = pretty solid sauce, can use broth instead of cream)
>Pour over breasts

Ez. Stir fry and other quick methods are good too, boneless breasts tend to dry out so if you're not braising them or boiling (jesus please dont boil them) you're gonna want the cooking process to be quick.

If you're gonna cook in the oven, make a nice sauce with soy sauce + honey + broth and thicken it with a bit of flour, makes for a good honey garlic chicken that wont dry out easy.

>>8041915
>slice it very thin (1-2 mm) across the grain
>divide the sliced chicken into meal-sized portions
>experiment with different marinades

seriously, use the opportunity to see if you can create an original marinade recipe. you could try combining different acids & oils with different sets of herbs and spices. You could use yogurt as an acidic base and flavor it in different ways, try using buttermilk, or even old wine. As long as you start by cutting the chicken across the grain into small pieces, you'll have a good chance at ending up with tender, tasty meat later.

>brown the marinated chicken and serve with vegetables and one starch. enjoy your relatively healthy food, being sure to stay really, really smug about it.

General Tso's chicken.

Now we're talkin

>>8041915
Stuff it with mozzarella and vegies
Coat it with Parmesan

1. Cut them into thin slices
2. Put one portion's worth into a small plastic bag
3. Add spices and seasonings, sauces, oils, wines, whatever
4. Seal the bag and put it into the freezer
5. Repeat, with different seasonings if you want (e.g. soy sauce etc. for Chinese)

You'll lots of bags of pre-marinaded meat ready to go. Just have to defrost them. Thin slices defrost pretty fast, especially if you submerge the bag in water. Just have to change the water so it doesn't get icy cold, and smoosh the bag with your fingers a bit. You can do the same with any meat.

This recipe is for an entire chicken, but the marinade would work fine on breasts.

Piri piri Chicken

2 tbsp McCormicks piri piri blend
3 tbsp Olive oil
1 tsp Herbes de Provence (thyme or Italian blend may work)
2 tbsp White wine vinegar
1 tsp Salt
4 Garlic Cloves minced/finely chopped

optional:

Liquid piri piri hot sauce to taste (approx. 2tsp)

mix well

Use Jacques Pepin recipe for application instructions and cooking.

how about a rice and broccoli cheesy chicken casserole? i seen a buzz feed recipe that looks absolutely killer.

>>8041924
>not garnishing your blue rare chicken

>>8044754
>casserole

That word always means vegetable snot to me. Green beans turned into the consistency of dish soap.

Fuck all of you.

Marinate the shit out of it, then cube it and add it to stir fry as the third-to-last ingredient.

It's perfectly useful in soup, as well

>>8044079
I must apologize. You must not fuck yourself.

You speak the truth.
