I received this in my supply order box yesterday. I had two BS Chicken Breasts out so I thought...what the heck, why not try it as a rub. It was delicious! I spritzed them with EVOO, then sprinkled the chicken with the seasoning. Baked for about 45 min. in oven. When they were done, I topped them each with a piece of Jarlsburg lite cheese (DH is diabetic). They were so moist and yummy. Can't figure out what the difference would be between rubs and dips other than the uses.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are Heavenly Chicken Breasts?
Heavenly Chicken Breasts refer to a popular dish that features chicken breasts seasoned and cooked to perfection, often enhanced with various rubs and dips to elevate the flavor profile. This dish is commonly prepared using Pampered Chef products for optimal results.
What is the difference between rubs and dips?
Rubs are dry seasonings that are applied directly to the surface of the meat before cooking, allowing the flavors to penetrate during the cooking process. Dips, on the other hand, are typically liquid or creamy mixtures served alongside the dish for added flavor and moisture, often used for dipping the cooked chicken.
How do I choose between using a rub or a dip for Heavenly Chicken Breasts?
Your choice between a rub or a dip depends on your flavor preference and the cooking method. If you prefer a more intense, concentrated flavor that infuses into the chicken, a rub is ideal. If you enjoy a creamy or tangy accompaniment that enhances each bite, a dip would be the better option.
Can I use both rubs and dips together?
Absolutely! Using both a rub and a dip can create a delicious combination of flavors. You can apply a rub before cooking to enhance the chicken's taste and then serve it with a complementary dip for added richness and variety.
