Yes, the title caught my eye but I just googled "boneless skinless chicken breast whole30" THIS is what came up. Read the reviews and it was all raves. I had to try it. I know that braising is good for whole birds but I didn't think it would work for breasts of chicken. So I tried it!
Essentially the beginning is just putting chicken in the braising water (8 cups of water to 3 tablespoons of salt and then add what you like to flavor it up - I did a couple cloves of garlic and a dash or two of aminos - hey that stuff is expensive!). I let it sit in there for four or five hours.
Then created the rub. This is what the recipe calls for:
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon curry powder
1 tablespoon chili powder
1/2 tablespoon ground allspice
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
I did the curry, chili and black pepper...that's all I had. Then baked it. My issue was that the chicken wasn't completely unfrozen when I added it to the brine...and I don't think it was completely unfrozen when I took it out...so it took very long to cook. So we baked it, temped it, baked it, temped it...I think the total baking time at 400 was 40 minutes and we were still at 160 vs 165. But we were starving so we ate it. It looked fine....and I'm not sick. So yum! This was so good. It was very moist and tasty and the leftovers were just as good!
