How to cook chicken breasts in a pan
Hello friends! Interested in talking about chicken? I sure hope so because today's post is all about chicken and how I like to cook it. Chicken is not my favorite type of meat protein on Earth. I would rather eat a cheeseburger, or a steak, or the chicken salad from Palmers Deli in Des Moines Iowa, but maybe that's because it's covered in mayonnaise? Or maybe because it's cooked right? I think it's a little bit of both. Truth is - chicken is healthier than red meat and it simply has to be … [Read more...]
