Submitted by laurenpie

"Basic instructions for chicken breast, either sauted or parboiled or baked or steamed."

 

• Ready In: 15mins
• Ingredients: 4
• Yields: 1 chicken breasts
• Serves: 1

ingredients

• 1 boneless skinless chicken breast
• 1 teaspoon olive oil
• 1 pinch kosher salt
• 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, chopped

directions

1. Saute: Coat both sides with oil, cook above high heat for 10-15 minutes, turning often, until no longer pink in center. When almost done, sprinkle with a little salt and add fresh chopped cilantro or parsley, then fry a little longer on both sides. You can use the cilantro paste in a tube, tastes good too, and the tube lasts longer in fridge than the fresh cilantro would.
2. Parboil: 15-20 minutes in simmering water (not high heat as that causes it to be rubbery or dry). Whole chicken parboils for 30-40 minutes.
3. Bake: 60 minutes at 350 already thawed. 90 minutes covered at 350 for frozen.
4. BEST FOR SHREDDING: steam the chicken breasts about 20 minutes, or wrap and steam. But -- wrap in what?
