recipe with chicken breasts?

[Wisconsin Beth]

Ok ladies, I have 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts in the fridge I need to cook.  I don't want to make fried chicken and I'm not in the mood for marsala.  Suggestions and help please? 

I'm not real worried about it being kid friendly, although that helps.  I've got leftovers I know the kids will eat.

I'm going to make this chicken parmesan tonight.  Don't know if it's good!

From this gentleman cook. I have made it before because chicken breasts alone are taste-wise, quite boring:

Chicken and Red Wine Sauce

tacos are always an option. add a little stock or water to a fry pan and cover to cook. I'll shred the chicken when it's almost fully cooked through, drain most of the liquid from the pan, then add it back to the pan with spices. 

chicken piccata is pretty easy, especially if you already make marsala. 

what veggies do you have? you can cube the chicken and do a stir fry over rice or noodles. this is a really good base brown sauce to play with.

I don't drink wine or any other alcoholic beverage. I happened to have had some boneless, skinless chicken breasts on hand and my brother just happened to be visiting me from out of state. Brother traveled around with bottles of red wine. So I looked around for a recipe which used red wine with chicken breasts and came across the linked recipe.

Quite tasty and the brown sugar makes it delicious.

My family has a recipe, that my mom found somewhere, for what we call chicken dill. You cook the chicken in bite sized pieces. And then it's green onions, garlic, zucchini, mushrooms and tomatoes that you saute (my mom usually puts the tomatoes in at the end so they don't cook much). Then you fill up the pan with chicken stock (carton or bouillon). You thicken the sauce with either a cornstarch slurry or make a rue before you pour in the stock. Add in dill (or if you like dill like I do, I flavor every step with some) and then once the sauce is thick you either add in mozzarella or sprinkle it over once it's served. 

I prefer it over rice, but it could go over any starch or starch substitute. You could prob switch up the veggies too, but those are the standards I use. 

Oh, and I usually use Jane's crazy mixed up salt to season it, but just salt/pepper would work fine too. 


I've loved this since I was a little kid, though the listed veggies were things I'd eat.

Chicken breast and bourbon recipe:
Take one fresh chicken breast and a bottle of bourbon. Put a frying pan on the stove with a bit of olive oil and when hot set the chicken breast(doesn’t necessarily have to be seasoned) in the pan. Stove should be on low!
Pour yourself some bourbon and have a sip and then a few more. When your drink is finished, refresh and repeat until you see double.
By then your chicken had burned, the fire alarms are ringing off but you don’t care already!
Throw away the chicken and keep drinking! Tomorrow’s gonna be a new day!😂

This is my dinner tonight. I've made it with and without pineapple. I use a tube of ginger paste in lieu of ground ginger.

Do you have mushrooms, spinach and heavy cream? Chicken Florentine is always and option, and it's really delicious.

You could also make a stir fry if you have a bunch of veggies.

I gave up booze for Lent.  Cooking with marsala doesn't count but drinking bourbon would!

I"m not sure what veggies we have in the house right now.  I know we don't have mushrooms.  But I don't find a lack of them to be an issue, ever.

When I am bored with chicken I just cut it up into small pieces, pan fry and then simmer with one of the many simmer sauces TJs has (I like their curries quite a lot),serve with rice and a salad and done.

[thyme4change]

I'm not a huge fan of chicken breast, so I usually slice it and make fajitas. Or I cut it into chunks and stir fry it with peppers, onions, snap peas and carrots and then just use a jar of sweet and sour sauce, some rice and done. The only soup I really like is where I pan sear chunks of chicken, and add frozen or fresh vegetables, or both, plus broth and the make the drop dumplings out of bisquick.

I made the chicken parm last night and it was very tasty.  Of course, the girls refused to touch it because it looked 'disgusting'.  They then complained they were hungry after eating only the buttered noodles  .

[Wisconsin Beth]

I did not make the chicken last night.  C and I ended up with mac n cheese and leftovers.  When DH and K got home, they got hot dogs.

My husband made me salmon the other night and my son was going on and on about how he didn't like salmon. I got so frustrated I told him to shut the fuck up and eat the pasta. Later he ate a bowl of cereal - quietly without fussing to me about hunger. Smart kid, to pick up on my subtle cues.

Isn't that Chicken Cordon Bleu, Tenn?

Yes. But chicken cordon bleu isn't served with a mustard/lemon cream sauce. It's the sauce I want.

[NoNamePerson]

Chicken Kiev was one of my favorites when I ate chicken. Been forever since I made it so guess googling recipes might be the best thing.

[Apple]

Some things I do.  Not all meals I cook are healthy, but usually taste good!:

Cut into strips, season well (with whatever sounds good), wrap in a piece of bacon, and bake in the oven.

Stir fry.

Cut into chunks, coat with may or ranch, roll in seasoned panko crumbs, and skillet fry in some butter.  Like grown up chicken nuggets.

Season and bake, then chill and slice.  Make sandwiches on a nice roll or bun, with the chicken, some romaine lettuce, some parmesan cheese and caesar dressing.

Chicken verde in instant pot, then shred and melt in some cream cheese.

I made the chicken parm tonight, more or less following the recipe. I made it gluten and dairy free. I used dh's daiya cheeses, a mozzarella and a pepper jack. It was yummy. I'll do this one again.

And a huge thank you to everyone. I really appreciate it and now have multiple new ideas!

[The Walk of the Penguin Mich]

I haven’t made this in ages, but it is really good.

Combine shredded fontina cheese, sun dried tomatoes chopped up, basil and garlic.  Stuff in a slit pocket of the chicken breast and toothpick shut.  The recipe calls for you to pan fry in the oil from the sun dried tomatoes, but I actually prefer them grilled.

I have also used Swiss, Gruyere, and mozzarella when I have not had fontina.  The Fontina is best.....then Gruyere and Swiss.  Mozz leaves it pretty tasteless.

I always have a jar of sun dried tomatoes and some sort of cheese in the fridge, so this is really good when you need to go shopping and are scrounging.  I have also used kalamata olives and oregano in it.  

[chiver78]

I do something similar with garlic wilted spinach, in either BSCB or really thick boneless pork chops. wilt the spinach - like a whole clamshell of baby spinach -then stir in whatever cheese is on hand. if I did this with what's in the fridge right now, it would be ricotta (with a pinch of nutmeg), grana padana, and some mozzarella for stringy-ness.

I forgot to update last week after I made this. It was quite tasty. It doesn't even need to be stuffed with ham and cheese. It's the mustard cream sauce which makes the meal.

[thyme4change]

I did a similiar mustard cream sauce on my pork chops, but I threw maple syrup in there, too.
