I got two Le Creuset french oven last year from a friend and the first time I made chicken in one of them I couldn't quit eating the chicken before I got it out of the pan! It was so tender and had sooo much flavor! I have one very large french oven and one that is smaller which is in the pictures below. Le Creusets have a cast iron base that is covered in a coating of porcelain enamel glaze so it has an even heat. The french oven (similar to the dutch oven) was designed for slow cooking!
Le Creuset pans are pricey but a great investment! They have a life time warranty on all their cookware! I was blessed to receive two of them and then last year for my birthday I got one more so I now have 3!!! Just to give you an idea of the cost....the large one I have cost $445.00 and the smaller one in the picture is $110.00. You ave to can often find Le Creuset products at a much lower prices at Marshalls and TJ Maxx, you might have hunt but they do have them often !!
The key is to let the chicken cook at a lower temperature and for a longer amount of time. With all meat there is a breaking point where it goes from tough to tender, you just have to be patient!
I like to just use Lawry's garlic salt, black pepper and then just dot it with butter. If you don't have a Le Creuset french oven just use a dutch oven or you could even just cover a baking dish with a lid or foil.
Lately Kroger has had Chicken Breast with the bone in for .99 a lb! I have stocked up!
I couldn't cook without this!!!
Place in pan then season with black pepper, garlic salt and dot with butter.
Use a french or dutch oven with a lid if you can. You can also cover a baking dish with foil
So tender that when you pick up a piece of chicken it falls apart!
3 to 4 bone-in chicken breast
Black Pepper to taste
Lawry’s garlic salt (green lid) to taste
3 T butter
Place chicken in a covered dutch oven or dish. Season with Pepper and Lawry's garlic salt. Dot with butter
Bake at 275 to 300 for about 3 hours.
