I am on a quest. I want to find the perfect recipe for chicken breast. A recipe that just thinking days ahead about the meal will make me salivate.
Personally, I think a naked chicken breast is pretty 'blah' tasting. We eat a lot of it however because it is inexpensive and healthy, so I am trying to find ways to prepare it that are really yummy. I picked up a copy of Fine Cooking's 101 Delicious Chicken Recipes when I was in Plate It Up! the other day and it seems promising. I really like one quote I found in it:
Think of chicken breast as a blank canvas that lets you feature your favorite flavorings.
I tried the Chicken Breasts Stuffed with Antipasto filling last weekend and it was pretty good, but I need to figure out how to add more flavor to the filling. Though not exactly chicken breast, tomorrow I'm going to make Baked Rotini with Chicken, Asparagus & Sun-Dried Tomatoes.
I made this last night and thought it was pretty tasty. I used panko instead of bread crumbs.

I've found that steaming chicken breast makes it really tender and quite appealing because it doesn't dry out. I make aluminum foil packages and fill them with flavoring and then put the chicken breast on top and bake for 25 minutes. This is something to think ahead for days. I posted the recipe at http://www.getbackinthekitchen.com/index.php?title=Thai_Chicken_Packages
I've tried other variations, you could do an Italian one, for example, but this one is my favorite.
