Do not brine boneless chicken breasts (or any meat, really) purchased from the store. They're already injected with water/saline. Brining is at best no help, and at worst counterproductive.


Better advice - don't buy any meat that has been injected with water/saline.

Saute some garlic in olive oil. Cut up chicken, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and cook in wok or large skillet. After it's almost cooked through add the broccoli, garlic, olive oil. Cook just 3 or so minutes until broccoli is al dente. Mix with cooked pasta. Serve.

Do you have some cheese? Stuff the chicken with cheese and cover in panko or breadcrumbs and then bake. Then sauté onion with some garlic, steam broccoli and toss with rice or pasta and a bit of some nice dressing?

boneless chicken breasts, broccoli, onions, rice and/or pasta.

I'm feeling very uncreative. What is a fast, tasty meal I can whip up with this?
