Bought one of the Countdown $9 chickens for a quick dinner. Very nice, but I always find the breast very dry, especially when cold.
Could someone suggest a recipe or way of using it, too much to waste.
Thought of reheating in gravy - but boring! Don't fancy chicken pie.
Suggestions appreciated, thanks.

Mix it with some tomato salsa, put onto a tortilla roll up. Put some more salsa over the rolled tortilla, add grated cheese and bake for about 30 mins until piping hot and cheese golden.

Breast is always dry. I usually do something like use the scraps in fried rice, breast can be used in something like a pasta dish with plenty of sauce.

If cooking yourself breast is fantastic poached. Moist and you can add flavour via the liquid you poach in. Makes for a great salad.

Today I am going to make pizzas with chicken, cranberry and brie. Just to see how they work out for Christmas later.

Quick chicken curry. The cooked chicken breast will just fall apart.

What do you use for a base?

Next time, try roasting your chicken with these temperatures:
The result is great, and even the breast is lovely, and not at all dry :)

Nadia Lim has a good Chicken and Parmesan Schnitzel recipe using chicken breasts. Can be found on www.stuff.co.nz

Made with cooked breasts?

Yes. She cuts the chicken breasts in half horizontally so that they are thinner 'steaks.'

Are those the pre-cooked ones? Oh. Oh well :)

Sorry. Read original posting wrong. The chicken breasts are raw.
