Food & Drink - 12 June 2007

Whenever I go to a restaurant and order a dish with boneless/skinless chicken like "chicken marsala" or "chicken parmesan" the breasts are very tender and juicy. But when I follow the recipes at home, I get good flavor but not very tender meat.

I never overcook the chicken so what do I do before beginning my recipe to tenderize the chicken breasts? Please be specific with your answer - for example if it really helps to soak the chicken in beer, for how long? And if pounding works, to what thickness?

Any help is appreicate b/c I'm preparing a new smothered chicken recipe for my husband's birthday tonight!

I have 3 chicken breasts cooking in the oven, they have garlic salt, pepper, and oregano on them, and a little water in the pan, tightly covered with foil and baked at 375 degrees for 30 minutes. (I've found they stay moist and juicy that way!)

Now what it a good recipe I can make with these? I would be willing to run to the store to pick up a few ingredients if I found the right recipe. The other person eating this tonight is my boyfriend, and he is a bit picky...doesn't like mushrooms and not too many vegetables.
Any suggestions?

What is your favorite non-alcoholic drink that is not a popular brand name drink? I don't care if you like Pepsi or Capri Sun. What I want to know about is the stuff that people love that is off the beaten path.

Three of my favorites are Irn-Bru, Vernors, and Raz-Cal. If you know what these brands are, then you are a lucky person!

But you can also answer with something that you just like that you can make yourself, like a Lime Rickey.

So let's hear it, what is your favorite?

I've been hearing rumors that coffee kills the nutrition in food as well if you take your vitamins with it. Supposedly the vitamins will be destroyed along with the nutrition in the food if you drink coffee with it.
