{AZCultureDinner} 10 Things You Can Do With Chicken

[Sheldon Powell]

Chicken is a basic ingredient in many kitchens. It's more nutritious
than red meat and there are so many ways to cook it. Try these hints
the next time you're hungry for chicken!
1. Have you tried steaming it? This is perfect for a quick meal for
one or two. Put a boneless, skinless chicken breast into one of those
zippered steaming bags that you can find in your grocery store.
Sprinkle in a little seasoning salt, some fresh ground pepper and a
couple Tablespoons of BBQ sauce. Zip the bag closed and give it a
shake. Cook it according the directions on the steaming bag: about six
minutes for a chicken breast.
Be careful when opening- it will be hot and steamy! You will be amazed
at how tender and juicy the chicken is- in no time and NO mess!
2. Make your own gourmet pizza! Use Alfredo sauce, if you like or BBQ
sauce add your chicken breast, some mozzarella and bake. Who needs
take out?
3. Citrus chicken sandwich- Want a sandwich that looks gourmet and
tastes that way too? Brush a chicken breast with oil and grill until
done. Slice it horizontally and then toss it up with a squeeze of lime
juice, some sour cream and a Tablespoon of sweet chili sauce. Serve it
on a crusty roll with some crisp lettuce and spinach leaves.
4. Marinate boneless skinless chicken breasts overnight, covered with
Italian dressing. These are best cooked on the grill, but you can
broil them as well. Toss the extra dressing. Because of the dressing,
this will tend to flare up if you aren't careful, so keep an eye on
it. It's worth the trouble.
5. Make kabobs. Cube chicken breasts and skewer them with alternative
chunks of peppers, onion and zucchini. Brush with olive oil, squeeze
on some lemon juice and grill or broil.
6. Cube the chicken breast and stir fry in wok or skillet until
starting to brown. Add a bag of frozen broccoli, cauliflower and
carrots. Season with lemon pepper. Turn the heat to med-low and cover.
Simmer for about 6 or 7 minutes, stirring once or twice, until veggies
are done, but still firm. Serve it up!
7. Cut chicken breasts into small strips or cubes and brown. Add one
can cheddar cheese soup and ? cup salsa. Heat through and spoon ? cup
of the mixture onto one-half of warmed, soft flour tortillas. Moisten
the edge of tortilla, fold over and press down the edges to seal. Bake
in 325' for about 5-7 minutes.
8. Add chicken breast and broccoli to creamy macaroni and cheese. This
is best if you use the creamiest macaroni and cheese you can. Choose
homemade, frozen or the shells and cheese brands.
9. For a Mediterranean style chicken flavor, mix diced cooked chicken
with some plain yogurt and Greek-style seasoning mix. Serve this on a
croissant or in a pita shell.
10. Fry chicken breasts lightly in olive oil. Add sliced onion,
chopped red pepper, zucchini and a clove of garlic, diced or crushed.
Fry for just a few minutes and add some dried basil and a can of
chopped tomatoes. Cover and simmer 15 minutes. Take off the lid and
simmer 5 minutes longer. Serve with rice.
