I was just wandering....how do you guys bake your chicken breasts? Im scared it will go dry :o
 
In an oven for 20ish minutes... It will be dryish, make a sauce :D or try wrapping it in foil.
 
You can also cook it in a dry grill pan for a few minutes on each side. Oven is less to clean up tho if you line the baking sheet with tinfoil and turn once while cooking.
 
Buy decent quality ones to start with - e.g. Woolies!
 
Never dry

Stuffed chicken breasts

Cooking time: 20 minutes

Ingredients
4 chicken breast fillets
100 g feta cheese
10 ml fresh rosemary
1 punnet baby tomatoes
60 ml balsamic vinegar

Method:
Cut a slit lengthways into the middle of each chicken breast.
Mix together the cheese and rosemary and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste. Spoon into the slit in each chicken breast. Fasten closed with toothpicks.

Drizzle with vinegar and oil and bake in a preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through. Slice and serve with tomatoes. Drizzle with sauce from the pan.

hmmm im thinking of just putting olive oil on the breasts and adding the crumbs.... cook at 180c for around 20-30 mins. Is this plan a FAIL?
 
I've tried this Gordon Ramsay recipe before, works well.

Serves 4

Ingredients
4 chicken breasts, boned, skinned & pounded thin
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 eggs
1 tablespoon milk
60g plain flour
200g dry breadcrumbs
Olive oil
1 fresh ball of mozzarella
50g grated Parmesan
For the tomato sauce
Olive oil
2 shallots
1 clove garlic, finely sliced
Approx 250g cherry tomatoes
½ teaspoon dried basil
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
Fresh basil to garnish
For the potatoes
500g potatoes, e.g. maris pipers
1 teaspoon chilli flakes
For the chard
2 garlic cloves, lightly crushed
600g baby red chard leaves
Method: How to make escalope of chicken with sautéed potatoes and red chard
1. Preheat the oven to 200°C.

2. Peel and dice the potatoes. Parboil the potatoes in salted water for 5-6 minutes until just tender. Drain well and set aside.

3. Season the chicken fillets on both side with a little salt and pepper. Lightly beat the eggs together with the milk. Dust each chicken breast in flour, then dip in the beaten eggs and finally coat in the breadcrumbs.( Watch the video of Gordon preparing escalopes of chicken)

4. Sauté the escalopes in a little hot olive oil until golden brown - approximately 2 minutes on each side. Drain the cooked chicken on kitchen paper, then remove to a baking tray.

5. To make the tomato sauce heat some oil in a heavy based pan. Add the shallots and garlic and cook for 2-3 minutes until softened. Add the tomatoes and basil. Allow the tomatoes to soften. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

6. Spoon a little tomato sauce over each escalope. Top with a round of mozzarella, and sprinkle with the grated parmesan. Bake in the oven for approximately 8 minutes, until the chicken is cooked and the cheese is melted and golden.

7. Drizzle with diced potatoes with oil and chilli flakes and season with salt and pepper. Sauté in a hot pan until golden and cooked through.

8. Heat a little olive oil in a hot pan, lightly sauté the garlic cloves, add the chard and toss. Lightly sauté until the leaves are wilted, remove the garlic and drain on kitchen towel

9. Serve each chicken escalope with a garnish of fresh basil, sautéed potatoes and a spoonful of sautéed chard.

Strips (or flattened), egg wash, seasoned bread crumbs, fried.

Or crushed cornflakes mixed with chilli flakes, for that KFC Zinger effect.

Nice - would also work with bread crumbs and tobasco mixed in with the egg wash.

I've got kids who seem to have inherited their mother's taste buds so chilli is a no-no. :o
