Hi...
I've been a lurker here for awhile now, and have a chicken question for anyone willing to help!
I've been a semi-vegetarian since I was 16, so 10 years now. I just started eating fish about a year ago. My boyfriend is a meat eater, and I'm trying to learn some meat dishes for him. I've made him a flank steak and sweedish meatballs, but I can't figure out chicken. I don't have an outdoor grill, (we have an old george foreman) and I don't really know how to get started. We eat pretty healthy, we avoid fried foods, and he mostly eats boneless, skinless chicken breasts.
Last week I expereimented with chicken cutlets and breaded and fried them in olive oil (this frying was an exception becuse I didn't know what else to do to make sure it was cooked!) He really liked them, but this is not something I can make often, and will make it again only as a special treat.
Tonight I got a chicken breast and marinated it in some EVOO, red wine vinegar, red pepper flakes and some thyme. I then attempted to cook it up in a skillet, but it turned out a bit dry for him.
I'd love to get some ideas of some easy ways to cook up chicken for my sweetie. Thanks in advance for the help.
