One of my favorite things to do is to marinade them in either a bottled or homemade marinade in a plastic bag in the fridge for 30 minutes, then either grill or broil them. Boneless breasts tend to be a little bland and dry out, and the marinade solves both problems. Make sure they are 160 degrees at the thickest part of the meat before you eat them.





Here's my favorite homemade marinade





* 1 cup beer (a good middle-of-the road one, such as Bud or New Belgium)


* 1/2 cup low-sodium soy sauce


* 1 tbsp canola or vegetable oil


* 2 cloves garlic, minced or put through a press


* 1 tbsp. onion, chopped


* 1 tbsp. parsley, chopped (or use 1 tsp dried parsley flake)





Use that marinade for 30 minutes, then brush the chicken with it a few times during cooking.What is a simple, tasty and healthy recipe for boneless chicken breasts?

Spicy Chicken Breasts





2 1/2 tablespoons paprika


2 tablespoons garlic powder


1 tablespoon salt


1 tablespoon onion powder


1 tablespoon dried thyme


1 tablespoon ground cayenne pepper


1 tablespoon ground black pepper


4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves





In a medium bowl, mix together the paprika, garlic powder, salt, onion powder, thyme, cayenne pepper, and ground black pepper. Set aside about 3 tablespoons of this seasoning mixture for the chicken; store the remainder in an airtight container for later use (for seasoning fish, meats, or vegetables).


Preheat grill for medium-high heat. Rub some of the reserved 3 tablespoons of seasoning onto both sides of the chicken breasts.


Lightly oil the grill grate. Place chicken on the grill, and cook for 6 to 8 minutes on each side, until juices run clear.
If you like a little spice, this is wonderful.

any fat. With a small fork, pierce chicken, both

take chicken out of refrigerator.

Here is a recipe I make all the time - very tasty.





For 2 boneless chicken breasts:





3 Tbsp fat-free cream cheese, softened


1 1/2 Tbsp herbed feta cheese crumbles


4 sun-dried tomatoes, chopped fine


1/4 tsp Italian seasoning





Mix ingredients together until blended and smooth. Cut a pocket into the side of the chicken breasts, and stuff each with 1/2 of the cheese mixture.





Bake at 400 on a slightly greased baking sheet (I use Pam spray) for 20-25 minutes (depending on how large the breasts are). Serve with your favorite veggie or couscous, rice or whatever.





The chicken breasts are delicious. I've passed this recipe around to a handful of my friends, and everyone raves about it.

My husband loves this recipie. You can add other seasonings if you want, like celery, soul food seasoning, lemon and pepper seasoning and a meat tenderizer if you want. Season it to taste the way you want, but it taste good without the extra seasonings.
i love this recipe for feta cheese and spinach stuffed chicken.


you need:


feta cheese


frozen spinach


a lemon


extra virgin olive oil


butter


one chicken breast per person


butcher's twine





this goes good with a side salad or a pasta side





preheat oven to 400 degrees





combine equal parts feta cheese with thawed and drained spinach (drain it with a clean kitchen towel that doesn't get fuzzies all over) in a mixing bowl. cut your lemon in half and squeeze all the juice out of one half into mixture.


carefully butterfly chicken breasts (make them open like a book) or make a pocket in the chicken. stuff them with the cheese and spinach. secure them with some string so the stuffing doesn't fall out if you need to.


heat a frying pan with some evoo and butter in it. brown the chicken evenly on both sides.


place chickens in a shallow baking pan and bake them until done or juices from the chicken run clear. once done let them rest for a few minutes.





mmm!
2-4 chicken breast halves. put in baking dish and pour 1-2 cups Italian dressing (for salads--not Zesty) and bake until chicken is done--about 1 hour at 350F. Cover to bake.





You can serve with rice, pasta, or mashed potatoes. Veggie of your choice or a salad.





The 'juice' makes a great dipping sauce for the chicken and goes well over rice, pasta, or mashed potatoes.
