Moist Garlic Chicken

Tasted good, but would be better with a bit of spice and browned for a few minutes for color and flavor.

This recipe is wonderful and will be a lifesaver for making lunch. I was half asleep this morning, after having not made anything for lunch yet again. By the time the water was heated up, I had everything else pulled out and ready to go. I mixed some reduced sodium better than bouillion into the water, sprinkled in some italian seasoning, garlic and onion powders, and some butter which I sliced thinly for even distribution. Threw 2 pieces of chicken breast in. By the time I was out of the shower, lunch for today and tomorrow (with some leftover potatoes) was ready! Ive already shared this with several people. The sauce would go great with pasta or rice, and I can see changing up the spices for a ton of variations. Never knew you can make chicken in the microwave!

This chicken was absolutely delicious. I used a low sodium cajun seasoning so I substituted garlic powder for the garlic salt. The meat was melt-in-your-mouth tender. I served it in slices with some of the broth spooned over it. The delicate butter flavor was terrific. I think I could cut the butter in half and still have the same great flavor. I use a lot of cooked chicken breast for salads and quick lunches, so this is a perfect way to always have chicken on hand. Thanks for a great recipe.

The chicken is moist but not very favorable. I agree with the other reviews that say it would be a good start for another recipe, especially a recipe with a sauce.

We had mixed reviews on this quick and flavorful chicken dish. The only changes I made were to use my homemade chicken broth and chopped garlic. I made a slight roux to give the broth some body to use as a sauce over rice. It’s an ideal meal for a busy day.

Delicious! I subbed chopped garlic for the garlic salt and cut the recipe in half. After the chicken was cooked I made a roux and used the cooking broth to make gravy. Then I added a can of mixed veggies and served it over biscuits. Very tasty and very FAST. I’ll definitely make this again.

Excellent flavour and very easy to prepare. I was just looking for an easy way to cook up some chicken in the microwave and was very surprised by the result – the best chicken. I did reduce the butter to 1/8 cup. Great aroma in the kitchen too. My family loves this and I will be cooking all of my chicken this way.

best chicken ever. thanks minderk. i used left over chicken and juices the make a soup.

Very tasty recipe and super easy to make.

Excellent! I skipped the dill and I don’t like all the sodium in bouillon cubes, so I used Wyler’s sodium free instant bouillon. Also instead of garlic salt, I used crushed fresh garlic (I use a LOT of garlic in just about everything I fix) and man oh man, it was simply A-M-A-Z-I-N-G-! Even the family who likes salt ate it without any at all. In fact, while it was cooking my family was coming in the kitchen saying how good it smelled and kept asking when it was going to be done. 🙂 I have 2 teens and 3 adults in this house, so that says quite a bit about this recipe. This is for sure a keeper. Thanks so much for posting!

I used approximately 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs, otherwise followed recipe except I didn’t have Italian seasoning so I added some oregano and used garlic powder instead of garlic salt. Turned out very moist and tasty.

I love, love this recipe! So wonderful when you need a moist, tender chicken for chicken salad or whatever. So flexible as to seasonings, simply the best!

I had never microwaved chicken before. I hate cooking chicken because I can never get it “right”. I needed cooked chicken for a recipe and this was quick, easy, and just what I needed. I used chicken broth and margarine and seasoned it with garlic powder and lemon pepper. Turned out great!

This was great! I scaled it for 2 chicken breasts, cut up some cabbage and carrots and placed them on top, and had a perefect meal in 12 minutes! Thanks for the recipe!!

Super easy chicken recipe for use in other dishes. I make it exactly as written. This chicken tastes delicious in the “Holiday Chicken Salad” on this site.

This was so good. We are remodeling our kitchen so we have no stove and i was tired of microwave meals. This recipes tasted like I had been cooking on the stove for hours. It hit the right spot. I recommand this recipe for if you don’t have a lot of time to cook dinner or youjust might not an available stove.

chicken was not moist, but was swimming in tons of bland liquid!

This is the recipe I use when I need to make a chicken salad or some other dish that requires boiled chicken. This turns out very moist and has just a little flavor so you can use it with almost anything. Thanks for the post.

I actually used an envelope of Italian dressing mix and the 2 cups water and nothing else with good results! Thanks!

I don’t usually cook food in the microwave (use it mainly for defrosting and reheating). I only made this recipe because our stove/oven was out of commission for a couple days and I had to rely on the microwave to cook meals. While the chicken turned out very moist, it was otherwise very bland. I might think about using this recipe if I needed to cook chicken quickly for a salad, but it comes out just as tender if you boil it on the stove.

This recipe is excellent! Very moist and tasty. I ommited the spices except for the garlic and it was still good,
