Chicken Breasts... what are they good for?

Topics: bleck!, chicken breasts, dry chalky meat
Seriously! They are even dry when they are cut up and fried with batter. Why do people buy them? News flash--you can buy thighs for cheaper, and they are actually edible!

I marinate them they are juicy, maybe over cooking them?-
well the frying example comes from the deli/fast food. In the case that sparked this discussion, I put them in the oven with bacon draped over them and covered with foil. Result: chalk

I am not really a huge chicken fan anyway. We actually like tossing a whole fryer in the crock pot with some organic natural chicken broth & veges then slow cooking it till it is fall off the bone tasty. Then use the rest to make soup. -
They are the meaty part... -
I find chicken thighs too fatty, even when grilled until they're practically jerky. You just have to cook the breasts on lower heat (for longer, but more gently). I don't find them too dry at all. Then again, the idea of eating bacon or untrimmed (or "well-marbled") steak grosses me out because it's so fatty. I don't even want that chewy, greasy stuff on my plate. [shudder] -
1. Marinate them in pickle juice (dill) over night then drain and batter them and fry them. They are like chickfila's
2. Wrap in bacon and bake
3. I put them in a casserole dish with 1 c bbq sauce and 1 cup water over them along with some kind of spice (depending on the mood) and cover and bake them at 350 until the fall apart and shred them and make sandwiches. I have tons of recipes for chicken after all I raise them.
Oh I forgot if you soak them in salt and sugar water over night they are tender to and dont dry out.-
Submerge them in cream of mushroom soup (extra mushrooms of various types a welcome addition), water, and rice, cover the mess with foil, then bake them for about an hour at 350 F. Yum.

sounds like someone's woman can't cook -
Ooh! I know of trick. If you don't thaw them first and then wrap each breast in tin foil, smother it with butter and garlic and other herbs, then bake it in the oven, the moisture from them thawing while cooking will help them come out juicy and yummy. -
They are good for eating. If you can't eat them, then you fail. -
A chick's breasts... mmmmmmmmm -
Fajitas -
Fried chicken strips. So good and only possible with chicken breast. Also chicken salad, bbq chicken pizza, chicken sandwich/burger. You can also fancy it up, but I like to keep it simple. -
I am sure roosters like them!-
I agree!

Love 'em (chicken) breasts. Jerky, soft, juicy, plump... Love 'em all. Love 'em, Know 'em and Treat 'em right
-
Im a breast man and I say they're best served with a creamy onion sauce.
Or cut up and added to a stirfry -
Best for chicken macaroni salad. -
I totally agree! Thighs are by far my favorite.-
yays!

Chicken breasts without the skin is low in cholesterol.-

I like to pound them thinly, stuff, and bake them. The stuffing I use is lowfat cream cheese, blanched (and drained) spinach, and LOTS of garlic. Wrap the chicken around the stuffing, place about 4 rolls in a loaf pan and bake at 350 for 60 minutes. So yummy.
(But I agree re: the thighs... they're juicier and have better taste, so when I'm just oven-baking or frying chicken, we use legs & thighs.)-
and modern gigantic chicken breasts come from mutant top-heavy creatures. it's sad really...
-
As a mutant top-heavy creature, I take offense.
Solution: eat fish? -
haha. maybe free-range? I do realize that the thighs come off of the same bird, but i don't have to be accutely aware of it
-
Free range works... do you have a local butcher to buy from instead of the grocery store?
-
eat something that smells like fish!

Chicken breasts are good, they more meat on them! Way better than wings. -
Chicken breasts are best grilled in a sweet Teriyaki sauce marinade, then served on a bun with mayo and a volcanically hot fresh jalapeno. -
They are good for giving décolletage-less ladies a non surgical cleavage.-
But what about the feathers?
-
Well that's the beauty of them people assume they are wearing a feather boa to show their "charms" off to best effect.
-
What kind of sauce do you serve with those chicken nuggets? Barbecue or honey mustard?
-
Gotta be huile du bebe for me.
-
How many chicken breasts does a lady aardvark need, anyway, to maintain proper decency and decorum?
