That would not have any seasonings. And would be meaningless to me. I do
not eat chicken. I do not know when it is done. And I keep overcooking it,
despite trying not to. That is why I asked. And one person actually did
give me an answer. The others are all giving me advice for things I did not
ask about and then apparently getting pissed off at me and making smart
comments when I do not appreciate what they said. But that is par for the
course here. Oh there! Another golf reference. They should be happy!
Yes. I used to work for a golf course.

Yeah and why are they doing that? I do not understand that at all. I asked
what I thought was a very clear and specific question. Do you have a
favorite recipe for boneless skinless chicken breasts cooked with Mexican
seasoning? How more specific could I be? I did not say... Do you have a
Mexican recipe that uses chicken? Do you know how we could eat chicken with
something else and make it low carb? Nope. Didn't ask that. And yet they
did go out of their way to answer that.

Would be kind of like if I asked if they knew where I could buy a discount
priced wedding dress and then they gave me a link to a website that sells
track suits. Or shoes. Right? At least that's how it seems to me.

Julie, put whatever Mexican seasoning you like on the boneless chicken
breast. Bake in a 325 degree oven till a meat thermometer registers
165 degrees. Usually it takes about 30 to 40 minutes depending on the
thickness of the piece of meat. It's as easy as that. You could
poach chicken breast on the stove for about 15 minutes and add
seasoning of your choice after it's cooked.

Thanks! I don't usually use Mexican seasoning which is why I asked. I have
some Adobe and I have taco seasoning which I have only ever used for ground
beef.

You can also saute it in a pan for about 4 mins a side, until lightly
browned with the spices you lik right on it or, after sauteing the chicken
cutlets, remove them to a plate and cover to keep warm. Then you can make
a little sauce, in the same pan, with some liquid of your choice, water,
lemon juice, wine, broth, etc into which you put the spices and theput the
chicken cutles in the hot sauce and cook for a minute or two.

I have never used adobo so I don't know what's in it. I usually use
chili powder, chipotle flakes or cumin if I want it extra spicy, a
scant amount of salt, garlic and sometimes oregano. The packets are
quite expensive for what you get.

I like to just put raw chicken in a pan, pour jarred salsa over it, and
bake it at 350F for 50 minutes to 1 hour. Yummy.

You said, and I quote: "Anyone know of a Mexican type recipe for
preparing boneless, skinless chicken breasts?" That is not the same as
"boneless skinless chicken breasts cooked with Mexican seasoning."

I get my adobo from Penzeys, and it's a salt-free blend. Once when I ran
out, I bought some in the supermarket, and it was dominantly salt, and I
ended up tossing it.

Okay. Thanks! I used some of that years ago. Different brand. But I have
never used this kind. Can't remember where I bought it.

I don't know about packets. My mom was big into packets. It's about the
only way she knows how to cook. And I never liked anything she made using a
packet. The spaghetti sauce was red lumps and watery stuff. The taco
seasoning was horrid. I think maybe she didn't cook it long enough or
something. Was always very soupy.

I have never bought Penzeys. I know people are impressed by them but when
I looked, the few things that I might have been interested in buying had
extra things in them that I don't need or want in my food.

I don't know what this "spices that I like" thing is. I don't eat chicken.
I don't know what is normally put in it.l All I know is that Angela usually
does not like my chicken. She likes some from an Italian restaurant that
the rest of the family dislikes. They are cutlets. I asked how they made
them. They said they were marinated in olive oil and lemon juice. I tried
that and she didn't like them. I just bought a big package of chicken so I
hope she will like this recipe that I found.

Thanks. I might try that next time. She will eat salsa but not usually
real tomatoes. I don't know why. My brother is the same way.
