Any foodies? Recipe help

Anyone know of how I can cook chicken a little differently for Chicken Fettuccini Alfredo with Spinach? I'm not very good with cooking meat and I want it to be as moist and as flavorful as possible. I'm making dinner for friends tonight.

Any advice?

  • Have you ever tried it with blackened chicken?

  • I'd probably sprinkle it with Italian seasoning and bake it, or you could marinate in Italian dressing and grill it.  Or just season with S+P and pan fry to let the alfredo sauce shine.
  • I always cook my chicken in a grill pan. Insert a meat thermometer in the thickest part and cook until 165 degrees. That is cooked through, but if you go any more than that, the chicken will get dried out for sure.

  • I don't eat chicken but love to cook.  I make chicken marsala for my Dad and brother and they love it, if you google you can find recipes.  It's easy (cooking chicken is outside my comfort zone so it has to be an easy recipe!).  These are chicken recipes from some of my favorite blogs:

    ETA: you could also do a lot of asian style stir frys, just pick whatever veggies you have on hand and a sauce from the asian aisle like teryaki or plum sauce.  Which reminds me that this is one of my favorite recipes ever (I leave off the chicken)   http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/rachael-ray/thai-chicken-pizza-recipe/index.html

    And I totally misunderstood your original question.  I am an awesome.

    I have a mini george forman grill, but I feel like it cooks the outside too fast... What if I cut the chicken (I have boneless skinless breasts) in thin strips, and sautee on low in olive oil and a little butter and garlic and s&p. Does that sound okay? I never cook meat! I'm a little overwhelmed lol.

    That will be fine.  I'd put the garlic in when you put the chicken in--it tends to burn if you leave it in the pan by itself too long.  Strips of chicken will be much easier to make sure they're cooked all the way through than full breasts (at least, IMHO!), so I think that's a good plan.
