13 Reviews of Zesty Chicken Sauté

I loved this recipe & it is going into my "best of" cookbook. It is easy, fast, and tastes delicious! What else does one need? I deboned large chicken breasts early in meal prep and shook them in the seasoning. I left them in the bag until time to cook and they cooked up in minutes. I loved the fact they needed so little oil (I used a non stick pan). They browned beautifully and the seasonings were perfect. I used all of the spices including the allspice and wouldn't change a thing. I can see myself using this recipe over & over on busy nights. I will also use this recipe and serve on a bun for a quick lunch time sandwich or on a main dish salad. Thanks Saturn for a keeper!!!

I can't believe I forgot to review this? I probably lost my mind, because this chicken saute' was the most unbelievably easy chicken dish I have had in a long time. I am always on the prowl for quick chicken. I am not like that with any other meat, however; this fit the bill precisely. I love all the spices, they worked so beautifully with this, the cumin, the chili powder, and I used the optional allspice as well. Terrific. Nice for the waistline as the oil was very small, and I throw mine on top of a salad for lunch. The first time I made this I pounded the chicken breasts to the required thinness however; the second time, I forgot to pound them in my zeal to make these quickly, and to me, the recipe and taste did not suffer. Oh this is zesty, and totally wonderful Saturn, thank you for posting this, use many times over!

Very good. Not as spicy as I thought it would be. I pounded the chicken just enough to have an even thickness.

This was really good. I marinated the chicken for a couple of hours in the spices and served it with spiced vegetables.

Good, Simple, tasty. I used chicken thighs, wth the bone for this. Worked good, except I reccommend de-skinning first and letting the spices sink directly into the meat.

I made this tonight for my dh and I. I agree that it probably would be just as good not pounded- the seasoning is almost overwhelming on the thinner pieces. I also had to double the batch to dip all of my chicken. Thanks for sharing!

I loved this recipe! I cut the breasts up small but otherwise followed the recipe.Not too spicy either so will suit my family

Very, very good chicken. I made some adjustment based on previous reviews, I did not pound the chicken but just split the breast in half and just sprinkled the spices on each side and sauteed. The kids loved it and I loved it cut up on my salad. Thanks for another great chicken recipe.

I liked it the first time I made it, but the second time I doubled (maybe even tripled the amount of spices) and it was great. Thanks for posting!

I have this cookbook too! It's fantastic, as is this recipe. It has a bit of a kick to it, but isn't something I'd describe as spicy. The chicken is so juicy and tender it takes barely any effort to cut through it.
