Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast Recipes

[Mama Mangia]

4 each Chicken boneless, skinless, up to 6 breasts if small
1 can Diet cola
1 cup Ketchup



Place chicken breasts into a skillet or dutch oven. Pour cola and ketchup over the chicken and bring to a boil. Cook, covered over medium heat until chicken is done (approximately one hour). Raise heat and cook uncovered until sauce thickens. This might take awhile, so keep a close eye on it.

Or dump everything into a crockpot and cook until done (about 3 hours or so).

Wow- LOTSA great ideas here!

Another couple things I like to do...

1.) Cut each raw breast half in half and wrap each in a raw strip of smoked bacon. Broil and serve with cheese sauce that's been zipped-up w/ horseradish.

2.) Buy crabcakes- or make your own, and use them to stuff a raw breast with. Bake and serve w/ a favorite sauce like hollandaise, cheese sauce or choron- which is one of my personal favs!

3.) Chicken Cordon Bleu- stuff a raw breast with ham & swiss cheese and roll-up. Dip in seasoned flour, egg, then Italian bread crumbs. Saute on all sides 'til golden.

Another thing I always did at the Alaskan work camps... On Sundays (which were always Prime Rib Night) I made creamed spinach as a side. It was mighty popular- but I always made sure to make enuf to have lots of it leftover. I took the chilled, leftover creamed spinach (which always got real, real thick- almost solid) and added chilled cooked rice and shredded cheese (and sometimes sun-dried tomatoes) and stuffed chicken breasts, pork chops or fish fillets with it, and it was always yummy and popular!

Baked Chicken Nuggets with Apricot Dipping Sauce


Serves 4

Cooking Spray
4 Chicken Breasts, skinless and boneless
2 Eggs, beaten
1 tbsp Water
1/2 cup Breadcrumbs
1/2 cup Grated Parmesan Cheese
1 tbsp Dried Basil Leaves
1 tsp Dried Thyme
1/4 tsp Salt

APRICOT DIPPING SAUCE

1/2 cup Apricot Preserves
1 tbsp Water
1 tbsp Fresh Lime Juice
2 tsp Light Soy Sauce
1 tsp Dijon Mustard
1/4 tsp Minced Fresh Ginger


Preheat oven to 400°F / 200°C.

Cover a baking sheet with foil and spray with cooking spray.

Trim any excess fat from chicken, and cut into 1 1/2" / 4 cm pieces. In a medium bowl, beat together eggs and water. Place chicken pieces into egg mixture, stirring to coat. Set aside.

In a large zippered plastic bag, combine bread crumbs, cheese, basil, thyme and salt. Shake well to combine.

Using a slotted spoon to drain excess egg mixture, transfer chicken pieces, a few at a time, to crumb mixture, close the bag and shake it. Repeat until all pieces are well-coated. Discard leftover egg and coating mixture.

Place coated chicken pieces on prepared baking sheet. Bake 10 minutes, turn pieces over, and bake another 10 minutes. Nuggets are done when meat is no longer pink in the center. Serve warm, with this dipping sauce or your favourite.

Purée all dipping sauce ingredients in a blender or food processor until smooth. Makes about 1/2 cup / 125 ml.

Beer-Battered Chicken Strips


1 large egg

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
ground black pepper
3 chicken breast halves; skinless, boneless
1 1/4 cups vegetable oil

Beat the egg lightly with a whisk. Beat in the beer, then the dry
ingredients, whisking until smooth. Cover and let stand for 25 to 30
minutes before using. Cut chicken breasts in half lengthwise. Heat
oil in 10-inch skillet over a medium-high heat until oil reaches
desired temperature of 360 degrees (or use deep fryer). Using tongs

1 minute, turn the strips. Continue to turn the strips occasionally
until they are golden, cooking for a total of 4 to 6 minutes.

absorb excess oil. Serve immediately with barbecue sauce or sweet and
sour sauce.
