Good Seasons salad dressing mix is SBD-ok per the nutritionist. I found this recipe of the SBD site message boards. It sounds good (I sometimes have a hankering for KFC, how about you? lol), but I haven't tried it. Please review it if you do!
Good Seasons Chicken
Wow! Is this good. I modified a non SB friendly version, and I like it better than the old. This is a must try! It tastes like Kentucky Fried Chicken without the breading! It is really really easy too!
1/4 cup smart balance butter
2 Tbsp olive oil
1 pkg of dry good seasons salad drssing mix
3 cloves garlic
1 pound chicken breast
1/2 can chicken broth
Put about 1/4 cup of Smart Balance Spread, or whatever spread you are using that is SB friendly. Sprinkle in a whole package of Good Seasons original Salad dressing DRY packet....2 TBS of Olive Oil, and 2-3 large cloves of garlic. Let it saute, but don't burn the garlic.
Then, lay the breasts into the mixture. Don't touch it, just let it simmer. Now flip it over when you see it a little browned. Do the same on the other side, but don't cook all the way through. Preheat oven to 350. Transfer the chicken and the sauce to a small caserole dish add about 1/2 can of chicken broth.
Cover it with foil and bake about 1/2 hr. Then, uncover and bake about 15 min more.
This is the most moist delicious juicy tasting chicken you have ever had. It breaks apart with a fork. Now, if you are in phase 2, you could add a little whole wheat pasta to the juice to make a delicious type pasta dish.

Ok, one question as I am dying to try this...Is the recipe using boneless breasts? Or skinless bone-in breasts?
Susan :)
Does anyone know (roughly) how much a package of boneless skinless breasts weighs?
Susan :)
Thanks Cathy :)

Ruby,
I really want to know if you tried this and how you liked it. I still want to know if anyone has made this and whether they used boneless or bone-in chicken. Susan asked if that makes a difference, I would think it might make a difference in cooking times?..
Anyways, I really want to make this but make it right as my family often doesn't give me a 2nd chance if something doesn't work the first time around. Ugh!
Thanks in advance,
Amy
We also tried this and liked it...I used boneless breast. I'm not sure what the cooking time ended up being as I always use a probe thermometer for my meats (the thermometer stays in the chicken and you have a little digital readout you keep on the counter that tells you the current temp of the meat and beeps when it reaches whatever temp you want)
The only thing I think I did wrong was that when I was first browning the chicken on the stove I moved them too early. There was a nice crispy "crust" starting to develop, but I moved them and the crust pulled off the chicken and it stuck to the pan instead. Next time I am going to try it in a non-stick pan so that won't happen as I think it would be good with that crust on it. So I had to scrape my crust off the bottom of the pan and toss it ;-( but the chicken still had good flavor.

Hi,
I've made this a couple of times now and its one of my favorites. It is delicious and it smells so good when it's cooking.

I made this last night and had a couple of questions...
1. It seemed like the "sauce" started getting a bit too brown before the chicken. So I ended up putting it into the oven before the chicken got brown enough. Have others found this to be true? I am wondering if I should add the chicken immediately to the pan.
2. I just made it in one pan rather than transfering the meat. Do you have to transfer? Did I miss something great?
3. The sauce was a bit runny and tended toward salty (even using low sodium stock). I ended up adding a pinch of cornstarch rather than cook it down to thicken it (because of the salt). I wonder if adding half wine and half chicken stock might fix that problem.
Over all it was pretty good. Doesn't really taste like KFC but it does have a lot of flavor. My hubby verified that he would eat it again - which is a good sign!
Thanks for any comments!
Lisa.
