SIMPLE PAN-FRIED CHICKEN BREASTS
This is a dish I came up with to serve with HeatherFeather's Red Wine & Rosemary Sauce over Linguine. This is so simple and extremely easy. I pan-fry the chicken in a skillet, then prepare the sauce in the same skillet. You might get some blackened 'stuff' in the pasta sauce - I strain it first before serving.

Steps:
- Pound the chicken breasts with a meat mallet or a rolling pin, to tenderize the meat and ensure uniform thickness.
- Sprinkle salt and pepper on both sides of the chicken and let sit for 15 minutes or so.
- Heat a skillet over med-high heat, and add olive oil.
- When pan is sufficiently heated, sear chicken breasts over high heat.
- Allow about 2 minutes (until lightly browned) before turning to other side.
- Optional: Before serving, sprinkle grated cheese on chicken and broil for approx 5-10 mins (until cheese is melted).
- Serving suggestions: Serve this over pasta, or as chicken sandwich with fresh tomatoes, lettuce and mustard/mayo.
- Personally I love this with fried rice too.

Steps:
- To make the brine, whisk together the first four ingredients in a dish shallow enough to hold the chicken in a single layer. Add the chicken pieces, cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours. Turn the chicken once while marinating. Pour the chicken into a colander and allow the brine to drain. Place the flour, thyme, marjoram, onion powder, garlic powder, cayenne, salt and black pepper in a resealable bag. Put two to three pieces of chicken in the bag, close and shake well to coat. Remove the chicken from the flour and shake off any excess. Repeat with the remaining chicken. Place chicken on a wire rack while heating the oil. Heat 2 to 2½ inches of oil in a heavy duty cast iron skillet or other large skillet. The skillet should be large enough to hold the chicken in a single layer without touching. Add the chicken to the hot oil and cook for 7 to 9 minutes. Using tongs turn the chicken and cook for another 7 to 9 minutes. Remove the chicken and drain on paper towels. Let the chicken rest 5 to 10 minutes before serving.

I'm too lazy to fry chicken the traditional way. I've experimented with chili powder, Greek seasoning etc. in place of the paprika or poultry seasoning. Try what you like.

DELICIOUS FRIED CHICKEN BREAST
Better than fast food takeout, brining is the key to this tender juicy chicken, any leftovers can be stuffed in between a crusty bun topped with mayo, mustard and a leaf of lettuce, this also works well using bone-on chicken pieces but frying time will need to be adjusted --- plan ahead the chicken needs to soak in the buttermilk for 8-24 hours (24 hours is even better). Try to purchase large thick chicken breasts for this to make the slicing in half easier, use a sharp knife for slicing. I usually serve this with my recipe #149547 --- if you cannot find Old Bay seasoning, use 2 teaspoons of seasoning salt in place of regular salt --- you will *love* this fried chicken! :)
