[nabs] beginner cooking and labeling

[Greg]

Hello,
Yes cook it at about 350.  No you dont have to flip it or anything.  When you leave the little space at after closing the aluminum foil, it is almost like you are steaming the chicken.  Also, if you want you can take some potatos and cut them into small cubes.  Then put them on there own piece of aluminum foil.  Season them however you want adding a bit of butter to them.  Then cook them right along side the chicken and they will be done at the same time as the chicken.  I personally like to add a bit of italian seasoning to the potatos.  My ex like to get the packets of hidden valley ranch and add it to hers.  The nice thing about cooking the potatos this way is that you can make individual packets for different people adding whatever seasoning they like.

  Greg, sounds like many use boneless skinless chicken breasts; my mom does too.  If you back chicken this way do you have to flip it half way through cooking time?  Do you bake at 350?  I would guess so as that's a common thing.

    Hello,
    One of my favorite ways to cook chicken is this:
    1.  Get some boneless, skinless chicken breasts.
    2.  Take each one and put it on its own piece of aluminum foil.
    3.  Sprinkle with lemon pepper seasoning, and add a bit of butter.
    4.  Fold the aluminum foil over the chicken leaving a bit of space over the top of the chicken.
    5.  Place each chicken breast on a cooking sheet and place in the oven for 35 to 40 minutes.
    This makes a very tender and juicy piece of chicken.
    Hope you and others like it,
    Greg W.

      Hi all,

      When I have more money and a job I'll be out on my own.  I'm trying to think of some beginner cooking things.  I can do microwave or oven frozen dinners already.  I can make cereal and fix frozen wafles/pancakes and can heat up things from cans such as mixed vegetables and soup.  I also can make sandwiches.

      Ideally I'd cook from scratch because its healthier but I may not start there.  
      Unfortunately I didn't learn as much as I needed at our rehab center in richmond; I felt we spent more time cleaning up and putting up dishes than cooking.

      Anyway, what packaged products are out there that you have used and require just a few steps such as adding water and cooking it in the oven?
      What is Hamburger Helper?  I enjoy chicken a lot.  What sauces and seasonings are out there for chicken?  Do you have any simple recipies you'd share?

      How do you store left over products and determine when they go bad?  We can't see mold.  Can you rely on smell?
      Also what do you use for labeling products?  I know about dimo tape.  Some products I might use my vision and sense of smell to identify it.  

      How do you tell when food is done?  For example a hamburger patty?

      Thanks.

      Ashley
