EASY SMOTHERED CHICKEN BREASTS



Easy Smothered Chicken Breasts image

After reading this recipe here, it sounded so good that I had to put my personal touches to it. I'm not particularly fond of chicken breasts unless they're flattened to a pulp and delicately browned after being dredged in flour. After that I followed the original recipe except I added crushed red peppers and Italian seasoning. I served this with fettuccine alfredo and roasted asparagus on the side. Delizioso!

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and prevent any scrambling.
  • Choose the Right Chicken: For this recipe, boneless, skinless chicken breasts are the best choice. They cook quickly and evenly, and they absorb the flavors of the marinade well.
  • Make the Marinade Ahead of Time: The longer the chicken marinates, the more flavorful it will be. If you can, marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
  • Cook the Chicken Over Medium Heat: This will help to prevent the chicken from overcooking and becoming dry.
  • Use a Meat Thermometer: The best way to ensure that the chicken is cooked through is to use a meat thermometer. The internal temperature should reach 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the Chicken Rest: After cooking, let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This will help the juices redistribute and make the chicken more tender.
  • Serve with Your Favorite Sides: Smothered teriyaki chicken breasts can be served with a variety of sides, such as rice, noodles, or vegetables.

Conclusion:

Smothered teriyaki chicken breasts are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The chicken is marinated in a flavorful teriyaki sauce, then cooked until tender and juicy. The sauce is thickened with cornstarch to create a rich and flavorful gravy. Serve the chicken over rice or noodles, and enjoy!
