same as grilling... quick sear on both sides with med-high heat, then bake low and slow until fully cooked.

Also look into brining it first, helps tenderize a ton.

>then bake...slow

Gee, thanks.

The quicker you cook it the more tasteless it will be.

Sear then bake is the way to go.

Deep fry those fuckers.

Yes sir, deep frying is technically the fastest way to cook. Just like water cooling your rig at home. A liquid transport system for applying heat is much more efficient than hot air or single flat surface.

Usually this would be my preferred method. However I'm looking to eat a little healthier, so was mainly looking into viable alternatives..

I equate "bake" with oven, but are you saying quick sear in a pan on high heat, then turn it low and slow cook?

That works, just put a lid over the pan so the steam helps cook it.
And if you are doing that, you may as well make a sauce and let the chicken simmer in the sauce as it cooks too. once the chicken is done, take it out and reduce the sauce to make it thicker and pour over your final dish.

Enjoy

Three words: George Foreman grill

favorite quick marinade:

lemon juice (bout 1/4-1/3 a cup)
olive oil
fresh dillpepper

let sit in fridge in a bag or container for an hour or so, then roast the chicken at 350 for about 20-30 minutes until done. serve with some steamed or roasted broccoli or asparagus (can roast alongside the chicken)

easy and yummy

>>758039
typo.
fresh dill
salt and cracked pepper

Fuck healthy. Be happy. Unless you are in dire risk of having a massive clog in your coronary arteries, stop being a pussy and go get you a Big Mac.

seconded. although you can just cook it in a pan with a lid. you just gotta flip it.

Also, next time try soaking some chicken breasts in lime juice with chopped cilantro next time.

Ignore my retarded repetition.

I got myself a cast iron grilling pan thing... that you can just throw on top of your stove..lets you grill even on an electric range.. works pretty good... the reverse side is flat for making pancakes and such

OP here.

Tonight I cut one up, seared the pieces quick in a hot pan, and then added in the left over marinade. Simmered in the marinade until "done". Poured it all in a bowl. Shit was epic.

Picture is what my results so far has prompted me to create for the coming days.

My marinade is:
3 parts Italian dressing, 1 part franks hot sauce.
Seasonal salt, garlic powder, and some lemon and pepper.

so since I'm relatively inexperienced outside of certain things(I can make beastly calzones)...I need recommendations for 1) other simple marinades and B) acceptable sides to make with the chicken.

I'm trying to eat healthier, but I excercise enough that I dont have to be a nazi about it.

So /ck/...where do I go from here.

bump for advice
