How to cook boneless chicken breast in the oven – Basic Chicken Information

Rinsing or Soaking Chicken
It is not necessary to wash raw chicken. Any bacteria which might be present are destroyed by cooking.

How to cook boneless chicken breast in the oven - Liquid in Package
A lot of the liquid in the chicken is added by the manufacturer. If you read the package it will often say something like "12 percent added water". In fact they can add up to 37% I believe. So a lot of the liquid in the package is that water.

Many people think the pink liquid in packaged fresh chicken is blood, but it is mostly water which was absorbed by the chicken during the chilling process. Blood is removed from poultry during slaughter and only a small amount remains in the muscle tissue. An improperly bled chicken would have cherry red skin and is condemned at the plant.

How to cook boneless chicken breast in the oven - Selecting Fresh Chicken: Chicken is kept cold during distribution to retail stores to prevent the growth of bacteria and to increase its shelf life. Chicken should feel cold to the touch when purchased. Select fresh chicken just before checking out at the register. Put packages of chicken in disposable plastic bags (if available) to contain any leakage which could cross-contaminate cooked foods or produce. Make the grocery your last stop before going home.

At home, immediately place chicken in a refrigerator that maintains 40 °F, and use within 1 or 2 days, or freeze at 0 °F. If kept frozen continuously, it will be safe indefinitely.

How to cook boneless chicken breast in the oven - Safe Defrosting of  Chicken

FSIS recommends three ways to defrost chicken: in the refrigerator, in cold water and in the microwave. Never defrost chicken on the counter or in other locations. It's best to plan ahead for slow, safe thawing in the refrigerator. Boneless chicken breasts will usually defrost overnight. Bone-in parts and whole chickens may take 1 to 2 days or longer. Once the raw chicken defrosts, it can be kept in the refrigerator an additional day or two before cooking. During this time, if chicken defrosted in the refrigerator is not used, it can safely be refrozen without cooking first.

Chicken may be defrosted in cold water in its airtight packaging or in a leak proof bag. Submerge the bird or cut-up parts in cold water, changing the water every 30 minutes to be sure it stays cold. A whole (3 to 4-pound) broiler fryer or package of parts should defrost in 2 to 3 hours. A 1-pound package of boneless breasts will defrost in an hour or less.

Chicken defrosted in the microwave should be cooked immediately after thawing because some areas of the food may become warm and begin to cook during microwaving. Holding partially cooked food is not recommended because any bacteria present wouldn't

Ingredients
  • 2 Chicken Breast halved, cleaned and tenders removed, 10 oz. each
  • Wild Rice cooked according to package instructions, 1/2 cup of wild rice, 1 cup of chicken broth. I use Free Range Chicken Broth
  • 1 Granny Smith Apple, chopped to make 1/2 cup
  • 1 medium yellow onion chopped to make 1/2 cup
  • 1/4 pound of mushrooms chopped to make 1 cup (Optional)
  • 2 tsp. salt
  • 2 tsp. pepper
  • 2 tsp. paprika
  • 1 additional cup of free range chicken broth
  • 1 bulb of roasted garlic
  • 1 bunch of asparagus spears
  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tbs. sunflower oil
  • 1 tbs. red wine vinegar
Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees

Cut the top off the bulb of garlic, drizzle with 1 tsp. olive oil, place on aluminum foil and tent the foil, place in the oven for 20 minutes.

Saute` onions and apples over low heat with 1 tbs. olive oil and 1 tbs. of sunflower oil. After two minutes, add chopped mushrooms if desired, saute for about 6 minutes. Add to Wild Rice, stir and refrigerate.

Chop three large cloves of the roasted garlic, heat the chicken stock and add the chopped garlic. Remove from heat, keep covered.

Cut off the woody ends of asparagus spears, leaving about 4 inches from the tip. Boil 2 cups of water in pan with colander for steaming. Steam asparagus for two minutes. Submerge in ice bath to stop the asparagus from cooking. Drain and place in refrigerator.

Place chicken breast flat in 1 gallon storage bag and pound with meat mallet until it is about 1/4 inch thick. The breast should double in size.

Season inside of breast with salt and pepper to taste, fill with 1/4 cup of wild rice filling, more if necessary, roll up and place in baking dish. Sprinkle the chicken breast lightly with the paprika. Reheat the garlic sauce.

Bake the stuffed chicken breast for 10 minutes, remove from oven and, through a strainer, drizzle about half of the garlic sauce over the chicken. Pour the excess broth back into the chicken stock through a strainer. Rotate the chicken breast for even cooking. Place back in the oven. Repeat every 10 minutes until done. You are deglazing the baking dish, so the stock will have a rich brown color. Total cooking time should be 30 to 35 minutes. Let rest for 10 minutes. You are almost there.

Cut chicken breast on a bias, arrange on a platter, drizzle with garlic sauce and serve the remaining sauce on the side.

Mix the olive oil and red wine vinegar together, chop a large roasted garlic clove and mix with the dressing, pour over the spears and lightly mix. Arrange asparagus spears around the stuffed chicken breast as a healthy garnish.

Healthy:

This is a low fat 0 cholesterol dish. The rice has about 1 g of fat. The chicken broth that I use has reduced sodium compared to comparable broth that has almost twice the sodium. And the asparagus garnish just adds to the flavor and healthy aspects of this recipe
