Help me out with dinner....
I'm fixing boneless/skinless chicken breasts, and thought blue cheese dressing might zing them up a bit; but I'm not sure how. My little guy can't tolerate hot spices, so buffalo-style is out.

There's no gas in the grill, so I'm limited to microwave, stovetop, broiling, or baking.

Send me your hints. :hi:

1. Here's wht I'd do
thin out the dressing a bit. Dip the chicken in it and dip into bread crumbs. then either saute them or make them for about 45 minutes. Be sure to pound them out first to tenderize them.

2. I posted this earlier, and it's great!
When I found this recipe, I thought it was perfect for people, like me,
who just are not sure how to tell when poultry is thoroughly cooked, but
not dried out. Give this a try.



BAKED STUFFED CHICKEN



6-7 lb. Chicken
1 cup melted butter
1 cup stuffing (Pepperidge Farm is good.)
1 cup uncooked popcorn (ORVILLE REDENBACHER'S LOW FAT)
Salt/pepper to taste


Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Brush chicken well with melted butter, salt,
and pepper. Fill cavity with stuffing and popcorn. Place in baking pan with
the neck end toward the back of the oven. Listen for the popping sounds.
When the chicken's ass blows the oven door open and the chicken flies
across the room, it is done.

3. Chicken dijonaise
I make it all the time.

Here's the deal: If you can, marinate the chicken breasts in some Italian dressing (regular, not creamy) for a few hours. I also usually pound 'em flat to help.

Then, fry them up until nicely browned. Add oil if there's not enough marinade to keep them moist.

Put onto a non-stick cookie tray. Preheat oven to 350.

In a bowl, mix 1/3 to 1/2 cup of mayo with a couple spoonfuls of dijon mustard, with about 1/4 cup parmesan cheese (fresh is best).

Spread this mixture on the chicken, just one side, and sprinkle with bread crumbs.

Bake for 10 minutes or until the coating is golden brown. Serve immediately. We often like to do it with pasta and marinara on the side.

cheers,
Technowitch

4. Dressing don't seem to work for us when we cook with them...
There is some great mild seasonings that you can easily bake with. We usually get a little jar of them from the seasonings aisle at the store. And they add flavor to our baked chicken just fine. Not everything has to be fresh to be good.
If you season one side of each piece with salt, pepper and the seasoning, fill the bottom of the pan with water, cook for 20 minutes in a preheated 400 degree oven, flip, season that side, then cook until done. Make sure there is plenty of water in the bottom of the pan the whole time. The chicken will be MOIST MOIST MOIST, best chicken ever. And it doesn't matter what seasoning you cook with using this method.
I usually make garden rotini pasta and grab some Ragu Alfredo sauce. Makes a great meal.
