Recently acquired about 60lbs of boneless, skinless chicken breasts. Now I'm starting to draw a blank as what to do with it. There's the usual suspects like chicken cordon bleu and fried strips and grilled, but after that I've just kind of hit a wall. The cooking equivalent of writer's block I guess.
What's /ck/'s favorite things to do with chicken breasts?
>>8587537
pair with broccoli, brown rice, black beans and lifting.
>>8587537
They get dry soo fast... i usually cube them and do marinated kebabs to try to keep them from drying out too bad. Or chicken salad. Chicken piccata. Lots of options
Cream of chicken soup, water to dilute, add rice, chopped chicken breast, chopped broccoli and cauliflower. Season. Bake for like an hour, hour and a half at 350. Add cheese if you feel like it. Maybe breadcrumbs. It's not science.
Every week I see this thread with the same fucking image of a chicken breast. Can we just sticky a page on how to cook a chicken breast and how to make ramen? I'm fucking tired of reading the same threads every week.
>>8587537
why the fuck are there fresh herbs on raw chicken
>>8587576
Strange seeing how this is my first post on /ck/, then again maybe it isn't. Chicken breast is a common ingredient and I guess there's many people who don't know what to do with such a plain meat. I do wonder if as many people buy it quantities of over 50lbs though.

Ye olde chicken casserole does sound ok, however I rather using dark meat because as >>8587560 points out, it tends to be a drier meat. I guess it's one way of making it not so dry.
Also already did the chicken salad thing first off. Never heard of chicken piccata though, might have to try that.
>>8587537
Jesus Christ, 60 pounds? They are obviously going into the freezer, but I have a suggestion before you do.
Make a big bucket of brine and brine those fuckers before you freeze them. Chicken breast is always better when brined in a solution of salt and sugar, it will save you a LOT of time if you do them all together now.
>>8587626
Brining? Never really had experience with that. How does it change the taste and texture?
>>8587637
It simply adds a bit of salt throughout the meat, and when you cook it the meat retains it moisture much better. NOTICEABLY better.
You can google up your favorite information source about the benefits of brining meat, especially chicken breast.
Its totally worth it, anon can back up my claims.
>>8587651
Thanks for the tip, anon. It's a little late as they've already been put into the freezer. I assume that I can still brine it after I thaw it out?

I think for tonight, it'll be BBQ fried chicken.
Cut chicken into strips, deep fry, cover in BBQ sauce, arrange on baking pan and bake til sauce is caramelized.
>>8587537
Make and freeze some empanadas, make sure that you use a recipe in Wich they end up juicy and not dry

Oh look, it's another "I recently acquired [absurd amount] of [random ingredient], what can I do with it?" thread.

>recently acquired
I know, right? Notice they never specify "how" it happened. No one has ever given me any quantity of food, let alone an ass ton of something. And if I bought it, I'm damn sure going to know what I'll do with it.
>>8588033
Already make karaage but i use thighs.
>>8587537
You can make chicken sate. Indian curry or marinade with korea. Bulgogi sauce and put it in the oven. Honestly i like chicken thighs more.
