Quick and Tasty Chicken




Last Thursday I was tired but had remembered to thaw some chicken breasts for dinner. I wondered what I could do to them which would be tasty and fast. I came up with the following which turned out tender and very flavorful! I call it my quick and dirty chicken!

Donna, since we know you are all about Quick and Dirty, I think you will like it!

With less than 4 ingredients, you cant go wrong!

2-4 thawed chicken breasts (boneless, skinless)
Your favorite Barbecue Sauce
1-3 Clementines, Lemon, Lime or Orange would work too

Pan spray a non stick cookie sheet
place your chicken on the pan
salt and pepper chicken
pour on barbecue sauce and spread on the chicken with the back of a spoon
slice the citrus and place on top of the chicken breasts

Cook at 350 for 25-30 minutes

Serve with Rice and a Veg

How to spatchcock a chicken or turkey!

Finishing some of Cheryl's drafts... Keeping spatchcocking simple. Using a VERY sharp cleaver or kitchen shears -- not scissors, carefu...
