Re: Chicken Help!
Have you tried grilling or roasting chicken thighs and/or drumsticks? The dark meat stays much more tender and doesn't dry out like white meat. It's so good if you have a grill and just brush it with some oil and grill it on indirect heat for 1 hr and then brush it with BBQ sauce for the last 10 minutes of cooking. Yum Yum! My DS loves it!!
I also just tried chicken dijonnaise last night. It turned out really good and tender. Just melt 3 tbs of butter in a pan and fry up chicken breast pieces for 3 minutes. Take them out and mix 2tbs of flour into the drippings for 1 minute. Then mix in 1 cup chicken broth (or white wine), 1/2 cup light cream, and 1-2 tbs of dijon mustard. Put the chicken pieces back in the sauce and simmer for at least 10 minutes or longer. I let mine cook for an hour on low heat and the chicken just fell apart and the sauce was SO good.
Hope you get some more good ideas!
