How to Cook Omaha Steaks Bonelss Chicken Breasts 

Boneless chicken breasts are so versatile. When the weather cooperates, you can grill them but you can also enjoy them baked, broiled, poached, sauteed, stir-fried or pan fried.

Plus if you add the boneless chicken breasts to your slow cooker or Instant Pot, you can let the appliance do the work and your leftovers can be added to a salad or soup for tomorrow’s lunch or dinner.

When you bake chicken, it will continue to cook from residual heat after you take it out of the oven. Let the chicken sit for 5 to 10 minutes and use a meat thermometer to make sure the internal temperature is 165 degrees Fahrenheit. This Weber meat thermometer is what I use. It is very inexpensive and available at Amazon.com.

You can poach chicken in a large skillet on the stove top. Just add 1 to 2 cups of water or chicken broth. Bring it to a boil, then reduce the heat, cover and cook for 10 to 14 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 160 degrees. You can add your favorite spices and herbs for flavoring.

Saute or stir fry chicken breasts after cutting them into bit-sized pieces. Season with salt and pepper, Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and then cook the chicken 4-5 minutes per side until it is cooked through.

Before you grill chicken breasts, pat them dry and season with salt and pepper. Oil a clean grill and preheat to medium high heat. Grill the chicken for 5-7 minutes on each side and use the meat thermometer to make sure the internal temperature is 165 degrees. If you want to add  BBQ sauce, wait until the last few minutes so the sauce does not burn.

Let your slow cooker do the work. Add a half-cup of water or chicken broth and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours. You can adjust flavors by adding dry spicy rubs, citrus, salsas or sauces. Forgot to defrost your chicken breasts? You can cook frozen chicken breasts on low for 8 to 9 hours and use your meat thermometer to check that it is cooked thoroughly.

 

I have an Instant Pot that cooks them even faster. My Instant Pot has a setting specifically for poultry. It will take about 12 minutes for the Instant Pot to come up to temperature and then another 10 to 15 minutes of cook time. Depending on how you like your chicken cooked, you will add  a few extra minutes for the steam to release before it is ready. If your chicken is frozen, it will take about 5 minutes longer for the Instant Pot to come up to temperature.

Today I am going to share a new recipe for Honey Balsamic Boneless Chicken Breasts.

 

Here is your shopping list although you probably have most ingredients in your pantry!

4 Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts
2 Tbs Honey
1 Cup Balsamic Vinegar
2 Cloves Minced Garlic
2 Tbs Olive Oil
Salt and Pepper to Taste

Instructions:

Set oven to 375 degrees to preheat. Pat chicken breast dry with a paper towel and season with salt and pepper on both sides. Heat olive oil in skillet or frying pan. Add garlic and cook in oil for 1-2 min until lightly browned. Add chicken breast to skillet and cook on each side for about 4 minutes to brown chicken.

 

Once chicken is browned on each side place in a casserole dish and cover with foil. Place in preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes

While the chicken bakes, add honey and vinegar to a small sauce pan and whisk together. Cook on high heat until sauce is boiling. Once the sauce is boiling, reduce heat to medium low and let simmer for 10-15 minutes. The sauce will reduce by half.

When the chicken has finished baking for 20 minutes, remove from the oven and uncover. Brush chicken breast with balsamic glaze and bake for 10 minutes uncovered. and top with remaining glaze. If you want to add a garnish, I recommend  a sprig of rosemary.

This  delicious lean protein dish can be served with a salad and your favorite vegetable.
