What's for supper?

[badwhale]

Ha! No need to trick me. I'll try just about anything once. But, WHY? Please tell me, WHY would you do that?

On occasion, I enjoy bologna sandwiches, liverwurst, and plenty of other sketchy stuff as much as the next guy. But microwave chicken?

Can't wait to hear KB's review.

A long time ago, in a galaxy far away (the 80s), wifey's parents actually took a course on cooking in the microwave. This is something they've passed down.

I'm telling ya, it's good. Even a plain oven roaster, nothing on it, comes out tasting all juicy and buttery. We do this with turkey breast too. If I'm real ambitious, I'll post up the rub that you put on it.

Liverwurst is great. Bologna sandwiches...that's slummin' it. Last night, made a box of spaghetti, and heated up jarred Prego.

Here's the rub (that I ad libbed for tonight's chicken):

herbed turkey breast
1/2 cup butter
1/4 cup lemon juice
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons finely chopped green onions
1 tablespoon rubbed sage (can substitute 1 teaspoon dried sage)
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon dried majoram
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 bone in turkey breast (5.5-6 pounds)
1 tablespoon oregano (additional ingredient)
3 garlic cloves - minced (additional ingredient)

In a small saucepan, combine the first 8 ingredients (this is a stupid instruction. Put everything but the turkey in the pan); bring to boil. Remove from heat
Place turkey breast in a shallow roasting pan (I use corningware for the microwave)

Rub the mix under the skin, and all over the turkey breast. Inside & out. Use wax paper to cover.

I'm going with 7.5min per pound. So, if you have a 6# turkey breast, you're looking at 40-45 min. Start with breast side down first, and flip 1/2 way through.

I modified it off the cuff for what I did tonight.

Now, I want to hear KB's experiment too.
