Chicken revisited

[bigrhino]

I see here lots of people complain about their chicken breasts being dry and gross and how the taste is getting old. Well here is something that takes under 15 minutes to give you a good, high quality chicken breasts with something new. Flour.

Why flour? Because it gives it a completely new texture and flavor.
Here's the recipe

-Preheat oven to 350 degrees (All of you Animals out there afraid of baking, don't worry)
-Heat butter or olive oil in a skillet on medium heat.
-Fill a large bowl with 1/4 cup of flour (handful works fine too)
-Put the chicken in the flour, flip, get the flour in deep. Shake off excess flour.
-Add chicken to skillet, (if it doesn't hiss, take the chicken out right away and wait for it to heat up.)
-Sprinkle salt and pepper (other seasonings) over the top before flipping. This is going to seal the seasonings in.
-3 minutes per side. To ensure the sides get cooked, tilt skillet so side of chicken touches the sides of the skillet.
-Now, oven ready, transfer the skillet from stove to oven. Bake for 8 minutes.
-Remove, serve over a bed of rice.

Chicken seasoned in flour with rice. DONE.

What makes this recipe good is the completely different texture the flour gives rather than just plain chicken. And not very much flour is actually needed.

I'll periodically come back and post more chicken recipes.

Heat olive oil in nonstick skillet.
Boneless skinless chicken breast, cut it thin ~1/2" thick.
Score, season with salt, pepper, rosemary, (maybe even some thyme)
Put in skillet, if you don't hear it sizzle, take it out and wait.
Add chopped tomatoes.
Add some olive oil to the top of the chicken.
Cook for 2 minutes (medium heat), by now the tomatoes should have started to give up their flavor.
Flip chicken, try to mash the tomatoes with the chicken to soak up the tomatoes.
Cook for about 2 more minutes, try to get the tomatoes incorporated into the chicken.
Tip skillet to get the chicken, oil, and tomatoes all in one place and let it just fry for about 30 seconds.
Remove and serve over rice, sprinkle with basil if you are feeling sexy. lol

And yeah, don't be afraid of baking guys!

Thanks, I'm just finishing it up for lunch as I'm typing this. One tip I recently learned, to get the chicken to get brown and red, make sure the tomatoes are dry when you add them. Chop them and squeeze them in your hand over the sink, then add. They are mostly water, and the excess water can make the chicken lose its color.

Ground Beef, Parmesan, and Sun-Dried Tomatoes Omelet

Try it.
For those who don't know how to make sun dried tomatoes, just slice some tomatoes, and lay on a baking sheet in the oven for about 8 hours at 200F.
