Mediterranean Chicken and Bulgur Skillet

Tweet   The tester used a 14-ounce package of farro in place of the bulgur. Because of the farro grains are bigger than bulgur, and thus takes up more skillet space, it’s recommended to add more chicken stock to keep everything moist, particularly when the skillet is put into the oven. Dish adapted from Cooking Light, April 2017. 4 (6-ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breasts 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt, divided 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, divided 1 tablespoon olive oil, divided 1 cup thinly sliced red onion 1 tablespoon thinly sliced garlic 1/2 cup uncooked bulgur 2 teaspoons chopped fresh or 1/2 teaspoon dried oreganoRead More →

Grilled Glazed Boneless Chicken Breasts

Tweet Grilling chicken breasts seems like it should be easy. Too often, you end up with overcooked, bland chicken breasts. America’s Test Kitchen demonstrates how it is possible to achieve a nicely browned, perfectly cooked and flavorful grilled chicken breast. We shared the recipe in our May 2016 story, “Better Grilling Through Science.” Here are the recipe tester’s notes: If using kosher chicken, do not brine. The milk powder enables these chicken breasts to be both browned and glazed because the protein and sugar in the milk protein allows for faster browning.
