Recipe #1 - Broiled Boneless Chicken

| Thursday, January 1, 2009
Here's the first of the 365 recipes of 2009.  This is the Broiled Boneless Chicken recipe from page 641 of How to Cook Everything.  It's one of the Essential Recipes that can be modified in a bunch of ways.  I went with the base version, which is basically just broiled chicken with very light seasoning. 

I started with 3 chicken breasts and pounded them a bit flatter.  I covered them with about 3-4 cloves of garlic, some olive oil, salt and pepper.  I let it marinate in the pan for a little while as I made the 5-Minute Drizzle Sauce (which I will 
post about soon).  I turned on the broiler, put the 
skillet in and cooked for about 3:45 per side.   
The second picture is how it looked like when I yanked it from the oven and put some lemon juice on it.  
I've never cooked chicken with a broiler before.  I've done it on the grill and in a skillet a million 
times, but this was really simple.

Notes: The texture was awesome.  It was as juicy and well cooked as any chicken I've ever made.  

Modifications: Next time I could use less olive oil.  I could've gotten by with half of what I used for sure.  Might be worth trying with 3:30 or 
even less of cooking to see if that might be even better.  Lots of variations on the technique in the book to try.

Make again?: Definitely, either like this or with some different spice combinations.
