  • chicken breasts shopping list
  • McCormicks vegetable Supreme shopping list
  • OK, this recipe will not turn out correct if the breasts are not cooked in the microwave. They must be covered with plastic wrap or placed in a zip lock bag that is left upzipped to cook. This way they steam as well as cook and this is how the incredible aroma and taste is achieved. If cooked in a conventional oven, it is a different dish, will not taste correct or have the aroma that makes these special. shopping list
  • chicken breasts can be cooked in the microwave, just don't don't over cook them. You can leave the covered plate in the over for the rest period so it is not so hot to remove shopping list
  • This recipe must be cooked to achieve the success, flavor and aroma that is the point to the recipe. shopping list

How to make it

  • Wash breasts
  • Careful lift skin and season meat
  • Place skin back, season skin
  • Turn the breast and on the thick side you should be able to open the meat and season inside, see pics.
  • Season bone side
  • Place one or more breasts on a paper plate and cover with clear wrap.
  • The three breasts in the pic were cooked in a 1300 watt microwave oven on high for 6.5 minutes.
  • Remove from oven, allow to rest 30 minutes.
  • Remove plastic wrap and feel each breast, they should be firm. You can also check if they are cooked by separating the meat to make sure it is not pink inside.
  • Breasts can placed in a zip lock bag and refrigerated for a couple of days.
  • As in the pic, pull meat from bone, slice, add sliced cucumbers, tomatoes or other vegetables for a great healthy lunch.
  • They are addictive and I love eating the meat right off the bone.
  • The meat is great on a sandwich or ground up for chicken salad.

    Just don't over cook the chicken. It will continue to cook while it sits. I slice it on a diagonal and make wide thin cuts. A great way to have a great tasting diet food. JJ

    JJ, I've never done chicken in the microwave, but after reading what you said about the aroma and how it won't turn out the same otherwise...well, you've got me wanting to try it! So I saved it to try. I know you know your food and would not steer me in the wrong direction. :) And it does look really fabulous in the pics. Thanks for sharing it with us and thanks so much for joining my group. Cheers! ;D ~Laura

    Awesome pictures! I have tried a recipe similar to this and the chicken was very juicy and delicious. I thought it would be dry.

    Hello...
    I have not cooked chicken breasts in the microwave
    in a long time...but I will respect your
    directions for using the microwave
    when I make your recipe...I can see the logic in
    why they should be cooked in this way....
    I am sure that they are, just as you say,"addictive"...and also 'juicy'...! right?
    Thank-you for sharing....mjcmcook....
    ...."5" FORKS....

    I have never used the McCormicks Vegetable Supreme. I will have to try this out! I love the way you use photos to enhance the cooking adventure! I lost my darn battery charger for my camera but once I find it, I too will post some photos.I am sure it won't compare to your post though! I will look for this spice next time I shop! Thanks!
