Sourdough is definitely awesome (I grew up in Alaska where it's served basically everywhere), but it does take longer IME than just throwing yeast on some flour, or even doing a slow rise no knead recipe like the NYT bread recipe that's foolproof.

Definitely prefer the flavor though.

True but it is quite a time investment

I like this soup recipe because a lot of stores sell cubed butternut and if you buy that (I didn't) and have a stick blender (I do) then it literally takes like 3 minutes worth of work to make. Would probably be better if you roasted the squash though.

however if that's a bit too much work one easy technique to cook a chicken breast is to butterfly it first and then put into a ziplock and pound it a bit until it's even thickness. use a meat mallet or another pan to pound it down a bit. it will ensure that you get even cooking all the way through and no overdone areas.

Whenever I grill chicken beast I always cut it into two pieces along the length of the breast so they are thinner and cook through more quickly. Also getting a reliable (read: digital) meat thermometer was a revelation, I have an Oxo one that couldn't have been more than $15 and I use it every time I grill something stove top.

I just pan sear it. out some oil on it, preheat the pan, make sure to cover it while it cooks. Stays nice and juicy so long as you don't over cook it.

Here is the brine recipe I like to use for chicken. This makes 2 quarts of brine and is intended for a whole chicken or enough cut chicken to feed a family. If you're making less chicken cut the recipe down accordingly.

2 quarts water
1/2 cup kosher salt
1 T coarse ground pepper
6 cloves of garlic, crushed. You can leave the skins on.
1/2 yellow onion, chopped
1 bay leaf, crushed
5 whole fresh parsley sprigs, chopped
1 ts dried oregano
1 ts dried thyme
1 ts dried rosemary

In a 4 quart bowl or pot fill with water, salt, and pepper. Stir the salt until it's completely dissolved in the water. add the onion and the garlic, mix up the chopped fresh and dried herbs add to the brine. Add chicken to the brine and refrigerate for the times listed below. Try not to go over these times or your chicken will turn out saltier than you want to eat.

boneless chicken breasts: 30 minutes
bone-in chicken parts: 40 minutes
whole chicken: 60 minutes.

Make sure when you remove the chicken from the brine you rinse the meat thoroughly. If you plan to grill boneless chicken breasts after brining, try flattening the breasts so they cook more evenly. Cuts down on grilling time too.

That should help out with your dry chicken.

Besides being extremely Eurocentric in terms of cooking technique, I like how 98% of the ingredients are not native to North America, and even when they could have used cranberries insisted instead on using red currant jam. Red currants are not only not native to America, but were illegal to grow in many states during the 20th century, meaning that there are very few American producers and the red currant jam they used was likely imported from Europe

What book is this from? If this a book about Native American recipes, it shows a great ignorance of tradition, and if it's a random book of recipes then they decided to mention being Cherokee for no apparent reason

Edit: "imported mustard" lol

flatten the pieces with a meat hammer or whatever, or slice the breasts into thinner cutlets, then they cook in just a few minutes. also make sure you're using enough fat when you cook, whether it's in a skillet or under the broiler. you can always blot it off after cooking.

chop it and use it in a curry or stew

or if you want to cook it whole, besides flattening it you can also roast it in an oven pan with some sauce of mustard and wine/beer, with some aluminum foil over it to seal in the moisture

or cut it into strips and bread it and make chicken fingers, either fried or baked

Cook with chicken thighs instead of breasts since they're much more forgiving and actually taste quite good even if you overcook them a little.
