Of course, folks - it's the most consumed protein in America (source: I made that up, but I'm probably correct).
At any rate, we had a couple nice chicken breasts ready for cooking, and that's just what we did.
We have a great old roasting pan (I guess that's what you'd call it - kind of like a 9x12 cake pan, but heavy aluminium), so I preheated the oven with that pan inside. Once all was up to temp (375F), I pulled it out onto the stovetop with the burner on high to keep things going.
The breasts had been rubbed with a combination of chipotle powder
and Old Bay
(great on chicken by itself, too!), so I just put a bit of oil in the pan and put the skin sides down to sear.Once they got a bit of a crisp on, they were flipped over, the burner turned off, and the pan returned to the oven.
The accompaniment this evening was a nice wide egg noodle pasta tossed with some Alfredo sauce with pearl onions and sliced black olives along with the pan drippings from the chicken.
There was a nice plate of asparagus spears as well, so all in all, there was nothing to dislike.
The chicken was so moist and tender that it surprised even me, and everything else did nothing but enhance the overall experience.
I think I'm going to do chicken this way again soon, and I would encourage you to give it a try as well.
Enjoy!
