I've got some Boneless/Skinless breasts that are in need of Egging. What are your favorite techniques for cooking them?  I'd be happy to try out something new.  My typical is: coat with olive oil then sprinkle with seasoned salt and poultry seasoning and grill direct at 375-425. And....go!

    Pound the breasts....to even thickness. Marinate in ceasar dressing, lemon juice and parmesean cheese. Grill raised direct 375-400 till 160. I usually add either raging river or pineapple head while cooking.

    If you can do a "raised-direct" cook at 375-425 I think it would help. I've always had great results that way. As far as seasonings go, it sort of depends on what sides you want to pair it with. Make a batch of rice with some grilled veggies and give your chicken breasts a teriyaki mopping towards the end. I try to mix it up and test out different rubs/marinades.

    This, and I always brine my breasts a couple hours first.

    Flatten and stuff. I like spinach, artichoke and cheese. ..Wrap it bacon, not rope.

    I pound the breast to an even thickness, brine and cook to an internal temp of 145 to 150. ;;)

    The rope holds on the bacon. You been drinking? Aw hell, forgot who I was talking too.
