via google imageslike most households, chicken is the main protein consumed at our house. I am always on the look out for different ways to prepare chicken. when searching, my requirements are: 1. easy 2. flavorful 3. minimal ingredients. I can almost always convince Jack to eat fish, pork, etc. if I tell him it is chicken (but it doesn't speed up the time it takes him to consume a meal. he averages 45 minutes per meal. it's painful). here are a few of my favorite chicken recipes that are quick and easy.
Balsamic Chicken
(from my mom)
Ingredients
- 6-8 chicken tenders
- lemon pepper
- olive oil
- 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
- 1/4 cup chicken broth
- 1 tsp minced garlic
1. heat oil in skillet. generously season both sides of chicken with lemon pepper. cook until no longer pink.
2. remove chicken from skillet. add garlic, balsamic vinegar and chicken broth. scrape up drippings and reduce sauce (about 7-10 minutes). add chicken to heat before serving. serve with long grain wild rice with sliced almonds and peas and roasted asparagus.
Teriyaki Chicken
recipe #1: marinate 6-8 chicken tenders in this. place in foil-lined baking dish. top with 6-8 pineapple rings. bake @ 350* for 15-20 minutes, until chicken is no longer pink. serve over steamed white rice.
recipe #2: grill marinated chicken breast and pineapple rings. serve on toasted bun with lettuce, tomato and mayo to make your own version of Red Robins's teriyaki chicken burger (my favorite. got me through many double shifts at the dirty birdy)
