One of the easiest, tastiest ways to prepare chicken

[abcdefz]

I made this up at my last job so I would always have emergency chicken breasts in the freezer in case the lunch provided that day was unhealthy.


Toss a chicken breast in a freezer bag.

Add enough apple cider to cover

Sprinkle in about a teaspoon of thyme

Store overnight in fridge (or freezer)

Take breast out of baggie. Microwave thawed chicken breast on a covered plate for about six or seven minutes, turning it over halfway through

Eat


Seriously juicy and good.

Microwaving works better than a grill because the sugar tends to burn on the grill. I never tried baking it.

Apple cider works better than apple juice. And when you've taken the chicken breast out of the bag, you can just throw another breast in there and use the mixture again.

Anyway, yeah. Super duper easy. I used to have half a dozen or so chicken breasts in the freezer at a time and shared with co-workers. Everybody was surprised at how good it was.

Sound like that would be great with a little smoke off the grill.

Cook the chicken over indirect heat on the grill, should help on the sugar burning.

I've got a foreman grill; I should have clarified that.

lol that equates an emergency? I thought maybe 'I've run out of money and food but oh wait, boom, emergency chicken breasts!'.

please be mindful of the building up of bacteria in the cider mix. chicken can be deadly

Reusing that shit after you take out the first one is a major no-no. Fucking gross and potentially harmful.
