What's a good, fast chicken recipe?

Question

I have a cut up, thawed chicken. How should I cook it?

Answer 1

For a healthy recipe just take skinless chicken breast and grill it with some seasonings like cumon for smoky flavers. Or cheyenne for spicyness. Then you can drizzle any sause you want on it that you think might taste good with the spice you chose to season the chicken with. Then take some spinach and saute it with some garlic and extra virgin olive oil. There you go!

For....not as healthy recipes

Easy Chicken Parmesan. My sister absolutely loves it and I serve it with Angel Hair Pasta and garlic bread. Here it is:


1 jar (26 oz.) spaghetti sauce
6 Tbsp.100% Grated Parmesan Cheese, divided
6 small boneless skinless chicken breast halves (1-1/2 lb.)
1-1/2 cups Shredded Mozzarella Cheese



PREHEAT oven to 375°F. Pour sauce into 13x9-inch baking dish. Carefully stir in 4 Tbsp. (1/4 cup) of the Parmesan cheese. Add chicken; turn over to evenly coat both sides with sauce. Cover with foil.
BAKE 30 min. Uncover.
TOP with mozzarella cheese and remaining 2 Tbsp. Parmesan cheese; continue baking 5 min. or until chicken is cooked through and cheese is melted.

If you want to reduce the fat, use low fat Mozzarella instead.
