As
they would say in the South: PEE Can-ed Chicken!
Sticking
chicken in the oven can produce either the best dinner or a dried up
tough to chew mess. For instance the basic boneless skinless chicken
breast. If baked at 350 for 50 minutes it will be very
dry. A simple change to 400 or 450 degrees and less
time, say 15 to 20 minutes and it will be more juicy! If you
don't want to play with any coating, just spray the baking dish and
one side of a piece of parchment paper. Season the chicken, cover
with the sprayed side against the chicken – so it wont stick –
and you get a delightfully poached succulent piece of meat. ALWAYS
let the meat rest after cooking and it will be even more juicy.
The
idea of juicy chicken with a crust of crunchy pecans sounds good to
slave, how about you?
Ingredients:
cornstarch
¼
cup low fat mayonnaise
2
tbs all purpose flour
½
cup finely chopped pecans
1
teaspoon salt
1½
teaspoons paprika
¼
teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
¼
teaspoon garlic powder
¼
teaspoon onion powder
2
boneless skinless chicken breasts
Directions:
Rinse
and pat dry the chicken then rub with cornstarch. Let sit for 15
minutes at room temperature.
Pre
heat oven to 400. Set a rack over a lined baking sheet, spray
with a quick burst of cooking spray.
Once
the oven is up to temperature, spread the chicken breasts liberally
with mayonnaise.
In
a shallow bowl, mix the flour, pecans, seasonings. Roll each piece
in the mixture and pat it into a coating.
Place each on the rack.
Give the tops a quick burst of the spray.
Bake
until the chicken is golden and cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes.
Or
until registers 165°F on an instant-read thermometer.
Let
rest 5 minutes before serving.
Serve
with fresh green beans and maybe a pasta or rice.
Since
slave is serving green beans, they will go in the oven along with the
chicken for about the same length of time. All that is left to do is
follow the directions on the rice side dish. (Boil water & butter
basically).
How
about a south land type of
song?
