I’m not very good when it comes to cooking. But basically what I’m looking for is a chicken breast recipe where I can meal prep for the week. Particularly a recipe where the chicken won’t be all dry after being refrigerated and microwaved days later

Don’t do this if you want to be happy, but sometimes sacrifices have to be made for health I get that. What you want to do is brine your chicken breasts for a day before you cook them. Basically stick them in a large container and cover them with a mixture of salt, water, and a couple spices of your choice. A good place to start is 2 and 2/3s cups of water, 2 tablespoons salt, a teaspoon of whole peppercorns, and 2 tablespoons soy sauce. You want the meat completely covered so you might have to adjust that recipe. Let it soak in the fridge overnight and then take the breasts out and pat them dry with paper towels before you cook them. Season them however you want, just about any seasoning mix will do or you could get creative with individual spices. For doing large batches pf chicken breasts I would recommend broiling them in your oven. A glass dish will do but roasting or broiler pan will help develop that nice browning on the outside you want for max flavor. Brush them with butter or olive oil before putting them in the oven and a couple times throughout the process for max browning and to help keep them moist.

Brine the birds for 1-2 hours and then dry them off. After you cook them (anyway you please) they'll be tender tender.

No reason to prep chicken breast. It can be cooked with almost zero effort in 15 minutes.

Preheat oven to 450.
Pat chicken breast dry with paper towel
Brush with butter
Sprinkle with salt, pepper and paprika
Bake for 15 minutes
Done.

That should take you 2 minutes to prep which is the only actual work.

No one said it was culinary mastery. He wants chicken breast cooked in large batches. It doesn’t get easier than baking it in the oven. He can do one breast or a dozen this way in the same amount of time and get consistent results of moist chicken breast that won’t be overly dried out when he reheats them.

Youd rather make a shitload of them and freeze them and microwave them? wtf in all seriousness.
take the fucking freash breasts, marinate them, freeze them in the bag, put it in the fridge the night before so its defrosted how motherfucking hard is that?????? jesus you fucking kids are worthless. insufferable pussies, the whole lot of ya.

Buy a jar of el paso salsa, make rice, fry your chicken breasts in a pan with olive oil salt and pepper, when the breast turns golden smother it in the salsa turn it down to medium low heat and cook the breast to an internal temperature of 165F and add the rice at the end. Mix it all up. Then cut the chicken breasts up into bite sizes. That's a good salsa chicken.

Egg whites act as a bonding agent. They hold the other ingredients together. The yolk of an egg adds mositure and rich flavor but doesn’t bind like the egg whites.

>>12353062
It’s really simple. Stop over cooking your chicken. Whether you’re cooking chicken on a grill, stove or oven if it’s coming out dry you cooked it too long. When I pan fry normal size chicken breast I do five minutes on one side and six minutes on the other over medium heat. In the oven at 450 I cook them for 15 minutes. Remember that all meat will continue cooking once you remove it from the heat so you need to take it out just before it reaches the proper temp and let it finish cooking as it rests and redistributes the juices.
