I need some new ideas. I usually marinate and grill them, but I'm getting tired of that.

Homemade chicken strips. Cut into slices, dip in melted butter, dredge in bread crumbs, bake at 375 for 25 minutes. Stir fry.

This is all I use now. I'm not fond of dark meat. So I use them to make everything, but I don't think that's your question. Here are some ways I use them whole. (I usually toss them in the crockpot, cook the daylightsout of them, shred & freeze in meal-sized portions.) Oh - and I also will just cook them in a pan with a tablespoon of butter or oil & 1/2 cup of Lea & Perrins White Wine Worcestershire Sauce. That's really good! :teeth:

Almond Chicken with Lemon Sauce
Makes 4 servings
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, halved
½ c cornstarch
2 eggs, beaten
1 c sliced almonds
½ c fresh lemon juice
1 Tbl rice vinegar
1½ Tbl sugar
2 tsp cornstarch
1 Tbl cold water
2 Tbl vegetable oil

Dredge chicken thoroughly in ½ cup cornstarch. Dip each into eggs, then almonds; coat well. Chill until needed.

Dissolve 2 tsp cornstarch in cold water; set aside. Over medium-high heat, combine lemon juice, vinegar, sugar, & dissolved cornstarch (use nonreactive saucepan). Stir constantly, until mixture thickens - about 3 min. Remove from heat & set dipping sauce aside.

Cook chicken in oil over medium heat. Heat oil until hot, add chicken & saute for 5 min each side - until cooked through.

Cut chicken into bite-size pieces. Serve at once, with the lemon dipping sauce.

Chicken Cordon Bleu
4 chicken breasts, boneless
1 c chicken broth
2 prepared pie crust
4 slices boiled ham
4 slices cheese, any variety
Poach chicken in broth until no longer pink. Remove from heat & allow to cool. Lay 1 breast on ½ crust, add cheese & ham. Fold crust around chicken & pinch closed. Bake at 350 for 20 minutes until golden brown.

Chicken Parmesan

1/3 c Italian-seasoned bread crumbs
¼ c grated Parmesan cheese
4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
2 large eggs, beaten
2 tsp olive oil
½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
9 oz Linguine
1 jar Marinara Sauce
4 fresh basil sprigs (optional)

PREHEAT oven to 375° F. Lightly grease 8-inch-square (2-quart) baking dish.
COMBINE bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese in shallow dish. Dip chicken in eggs, then cover with bread crumb mixture. Arrange chicken is prepared baking dish. Drizzle with oil.
BAKE for 25 to 30 minutes or until chicken is tender and no longer pink in center. Sprinkle with mozzarella cheese. Bake for an additional 2 minutes or until cheese is melted.
PREPARE pasta according to package directions; drain. Toss pasta with sauce; divide among plates. Top with chicken. Garnish with basil. Serving Size: 4

Cheez-Its Chicken

2 - 3 c Cheez-Its, finely crushed
1 pkg taco seasoning
4 chicken breasts, boneless

Put Cheez-Its in a gallon-sized bag & seal removing as much air as possible. Using a rolling pin or the side of a meat mallet, crush the crackers. Pour crushed crackers into a bowl & add the dry taco seasoning. Mix until seasoning is evenly distributed. Dredge chicken in cracker mixture & place in a microwave safe dish. If there is any cracker mix left, pour it evenly over the chicken in the dish. Cover with plastic wrap & microwave until done.

I squeeze a couple of lemons into a bowl and mix with some coriander. Then I cut my chicken into strips and marinade it in the lemon mix, the longer you marinade, the stronger the flavour.

Lots of things. One of our easiest/fastest recipes is to dip the chicken in melted butter then dredge in a 50:50 mixture of Paremsan Cheese and Italian (or plain) breadcrumbs. Bake. Serve with warmed up Apricot jelly/jam, mashed potatoes, and green beans. If we're really in a hurry, I cut the chicken into smaller strips so it will cook even faster.

Another quick recipe with lots of ways to vary it is to boil the chicken in Rotell. (Sometimes I boil the chicken in more of a soup made from Rotell, chicken broth, water, etc.) Once the chicken is done, shred it with 2 forks. It's great eaten on tortilla chips this way. My kids especially like making Quesadilla's with chicken cooked this way.

Make Chicken Cordon Bleu (Chicken stuffed with ham and cheese). There are lots and lots of recipes out there for this. Find one that appeals to you.

Make white chili. Hmmm. I might have to do this tonight.

Chicken casear salad

I use the bagged casear salad mix...grill the chicken with olive oil and some garlic, slice into strips, toss with the salad.

Also, teryaki chicken sandwiches...soak in teryaki sauce, grill, put on buns with pineapple slices...very easy and kids love it

I forgot this one! We tried it recently & it was deemed a real keeper. Our local mall has a place in the food court called Cajun Gourmet that serves Bourbon Chicken. We all really like it! :) While this doesn't taste quite like theirs, it's good nonetheless. BTW - I have no why this is called "bourbon" chicken, since there's no bourbon in it. :confused3

Bourbon Chicken

boneless, skinless chicken breasts
olive oil
1 clove garlic, minced
¼ tsp powdered ginger (use fresh if you have it)
¼ c apple juice
2 or 3 Tbsp brown sugar
2 Tbsp ketchup
1 Tbsp cider vinegar
¼ c soy sauce
½ c water
1 Tbsp cornstarch
¼ c water

Brown chicken in oil, remove from skillet, cover, set aside. Add garlic to same skillet and sauté for one minute. Add apple juice, ginger, sugar, ketchup, vinegar, soy sauce and ½ cup water. Wisk together and bring to a low boil. Add chicken and any juices, stir to coat chicken. In a small bowl mix cornstarch and ¼ cup water together. Add mixture to pan and stir until sauce has thickened. Serve over rice.

Play around with the recipe until it suits your taste. If you like a little heat, add some crushed red pepper flakes.

its the only kind I use..I wouldn't know how to cook it with a bone!!!

I fry it mostly...dip in egg then dip in 50/50 bread crumbs and hush puppy mix then fry in a litle bit of oil.

We like this one (sounds weird but good)

Cola Chicken

brown chicken in oil (just a little) on both sides

add garlic, 1 cup of ketchup, 1 can of coke

stir and let simmer for about 30 min.

then I thicken the sauce to add when serving and for my mash potato!!




enjoy!!

I normally marinate my chicken breasts too! Do you use different marinades - I do. Italian Dressing, Ken's Light Caeser, French Dressing, Honey Mustard etc.

Grilled chicken with Spinach, Garlic and Mushrooms - add a little olive oil and serve over spaghetti/pasta. Very Good - but I still use marinated chicken in it.

Happy Eating!

piratesmate
01-30-2006, 12:32 PM
I used to do that MaryPA. One of our favorite bottled dressings for marinades is Newman's Own original - and also their balsamic! The balsamic is great for steak also. ;)

Now, though, I make my "own" right in the bag when I repackage & freeze them. Someone here a while ago mentioned this as part of Once-A-Month cooking. You put the marinade ingredients right in with the raw chicken breasts - in a gallon-sized Ziplock bag. You take it out the night before & defrost in the refrigerator. They marinate as they defrost. I think some marinating takes place in the freezer too, because I can always tell which bags were just put in as opposed to those in for a month or so. I like those marinades better because there's less oil than in the bottled stuff.

I've posted some of them before, but if anyone is interested I could post again. If you just want to Google the recipes, use the term "DUMP" in the search. (As in dump everything together. ;))

I "do" the freezer bag thing also.

I never tried Newman's. I will put that on my grocery list!

Here are two chicken recipes we like in our house:

CARMELIZED ONION CHICKEN

1 lb. chicken breast tenders
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon olive oil
½ cup sliced onion
½ cup seedless raspberry jam
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
1 teaspoon bottled minced ginger
½ teaspoon dried rosemary

Sprinkle chicken with salt & pepper. Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium high heat. Add onion & sauté 2 minutes. Add chicken to pan, sauté 8 minutes or until chicken is done. Remove onion & chicken from pan. Add jam & remaining ingredients to pan, cook 2 minutes, stirring constantly with a whisk. Return chicken mixture to pan, cook 4 minutes, stirring occasionally.


HONEY MUSTARD CHICKEN

1 20 oz. can crushed pineapple in syrup
4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
2 large cloves of garlic
1 teaspoon thyme
2 teaspoons vegetable oil

Drain pineapple; reserve syrup. Brown chicken in hot oil in nonstick skillet. Add garlic, thyme, salt & pepper. Combine 2 tablespoons of reserved syrup with cornstarch; set aside. Combine honey & mustard; stir into skillet with remaining syrup. Spoon over chicken. Cover, simmer for 15 minutes. Stir cornstarch mixture into pan juices. Add pineapple.

D'oh! Forgot to add one of my recipes that is my OH's favourite chicken dish I make.

Chicken Pie

Grill or roast your plain chicken breasts depending on personal preference (I estimate about 1 breast per person per serving), once thoroughly cooked, dice it and remove any bits where the chicken has gone particularly brown and hard (especially if grilled.) Mix up some THICK chicken gravy (I use granuals) and mix the diced chicken cubes into it, leave to cool.

Roll out your shortcrust pastry (I use store bought pastry as I cannot make it for love nor money!!) and line the base of your pie tin with it. Now roll out the other piece of pastry to the right size and roll it onto you rolling pin so you're ready to use it ASAP. Pour the chicken/gravy mix into you pie and quickly roll the pie lid over it (the heat of the chicken mix will shrink the pastry so you need to be quick!) Use a fork around the edges to seal the top and bottom pastry together and cut off any excess around the edges. You can either store the pie in the freezer for use another day (let it cool before you put it in) or use it immediately. Cook at a medium heat just until the pastry is golden (the chicken has already been cooked so it only needs to be heated through thouroughly again.)

Growing up my mom always made potato chip chicken. Just saved all the crumbs from the bottom of the bags ( BBQ, cheddar cheese, sour cream and chive, whatever!) and used them for the coating.

*melt a little butter in pan
*dip chicken in flour, egg wash, then crumbled chip mixture
*small dab of butter on top and bake

This is now my husbands favorite way for chicken.

I use them for just about everything too. I'm having them tonight, stir fried with red bell pepper & broccoli.

Stroganoff - slice breast thinly, dust with paprika powder, fry with onions & mushrooms add a splash of white wine, cream and if you wish mustard.

Stir fry - marinade in soy sauce and garlic, and stir fry with veggies of your choice

Indian Curry - I use a mix! but if I have time & inclination I will make my own tandoori marinade

dare to be different, mince with herbs and make into burgers

Saté - Marinade in light soy sauce/lemon juice and then skewer, grill and serve with peanut sauce (warm peanut butter in milk, add hot sauce to taste)

Cut in strips and use for Fajita's! Marinade in lime & cilantro and the grill...

Yum! My guys love tandoori! Would you share your recipe please?

Also, what else do you serve with the tandoori to make it a meal? I always have a problem deciding what to have with Indian food as it's relatively new to us. Our "regular" sides just seem out of place.

TIA! :teeth:

I use it to make Chicken Casserole, which is one of my favorite dishes.
Here's the recipe:
4 to 5 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 1/2 packs Ritz crackers
1 stick butter
1 to 1/2 cans Cream of Chicken soup
Medium or Large container Sour Cream

Boil chicken until done. Let cool, then pull apart. Place in the bottom of a 9x13 casserole dish. Mix sour cream and chicken soup together, and layer on top of chicken. Crush all the Ritz crackers and sprinkle on top of the mixture. Melt the stick of butter and drizzle over the crackers. Put in the oven on 350 for 20-25 minutes or until crackers are golden brown.

I love this...like I said, it's my favorite. The reason that I listed the soup and sour cream like I did is because you can make it however you would like...I like mine creamy, so I use about 2 cans of the soup and a big container of sour cream!

I also use chicken to make homemade Chicken Pot Pie which is also delicious. I can't remember the recipe off the top of my head, but I will post it if anyone would like.

Just made them tonight. Dipped them in Wishbone Italian Salad dressing, then some breadcrumbs and baked for about 45 mins. Yummy and fast.

I've found the boneless skinless breasts and thighs to be just like hamburger 1000's of ways to use them.

I've brushed lemon juice or bit of oil on them then sprinkled chili powder or other seasonings on them and grilled them on my foreman.

They good for tacos.

Chickenetti is always a hit when I make it. Cook the chicken breasts I usually do that on the foreman but can be done in skillet. Cook you spaghetti about 8 ozs. 1 can chicken broth 1 can cream of chicken soup and 1 can cream of mushroom soup mix the soup and broth together. Dump the spaghettin in a 13x 9 pan dump the chicken in then the liquid stir well. Top with cheddar cheese or mix with cheddar in it. Bake at 350 for about 20 mins till hot thru.
Sometimes I add a bit of onion sometimes mushrooms peas or other veggie can be added as well.

Chicken alfredo is good.

Grilled chicken breast, baked taters and a salad makes a decent quick healthy low fat meal if you watch the butter on tater and use fat free salad dressing.

Marinate the chicken in whatever appeals to you grill and top with mushrooms in sauce and top with cheese.

Top with cheese and a dab of black beans and sour cream.

Chicken lasagna is good

A good nonstick skillet and dab of oil or margarine works as a grill if you don't have a foreman or outdoor grill.

I cook my chicken breasts in Safflower oil. It gives them a good flavor.

Also, I make easy chicken pot pie. Cut up chicken breasts in cubes and cook in safflower oil. Then mix can of cream of chicken soup with 2 cans of mixed vegetables and the chicken. Put pre-packaged pie crust on bottom of pie pan and then put in mixture and top with another pie crust and bake. It is a quick and easy meal but very filling. If it is a little thick you can add a bit of milk to the mixture. Also, you can change it up a bit by using cream of celery, cream of broccoli or cream of mushroom soups.

Pound your chicken breasts flat. Then stuff them with whatever veggies you like. Sprinkle cheeses and a little olive oil on the veggies. Roll up the breast. A light dusting of flour with salt and pepper in it. Then place in pan to marinate (at your discretion) in light dressing of choice. Bake until done.

I stuffed chicken breasts last night with tomatoes, orange bell peppers, and broccoli and added fat free mozzarella and cheddar. They were delicious as well as eye-pleasing! Tonight I think I'll do asparagus and spinach. They are really delicious (And fattening) if you spread a flavored cheese like Aloutte on the breast. Yum!

For Weight Watcher buddies I figured that one breast was around 4 or 5 points.

Smothered chicken like Bennigan's. Basically just cook the chicken breasts in a skillet with a little oil until cooked through. Meanwhile saute onions and green peppers in a bit of olive oil. Cook some bacon. When chicken is finished top each breast with some onions and green peppers and some bacon. Put cheese, I can't remember if its swiss or mozerella, on top. YUM

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Basil Tomato chicken.
cook 4-6 chicken breasts in a skillet with about 1 T. olive oil until cooked through-about 10 minues. Remove from skillet. Stir in one can of tomato soup, 1/2 cup milk, 2 T grated parmesean cheese,1/2 t. dried basil leaves-crushed, 1/4 t. garlic powder. Heat to a boil. Return chicken to pan with sauce. Reduce heat to low. Cover and cook about 5 min. more. Serve over pasta. YUM

I use a bit more basil than the recipe. I also do it with tomato sauce rather than the soup since I can't get the soup here. I just add a bit of water and a bit more milk.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Chicken tacos

I put 4-6 chicken breasts in a 9x13 pan. Pour over a can of Rotel tomatoes. Sprinkle on some cumin, chili power, salt and pepper. Cover with foil and bake about 45 minutes. Shred chicken and stir the sauce into the meat. Use to stuff soft shelled tacos, add cheese, lettuce, tomatos, taco sauce. YUM. OR sprinkle on a taco salad OR sprinkle over nachos with cheese, jalepenos, etc and pop into the oven for a few minutes to melt cheese. YUM

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

I look forward to trying the other recipes!

My family loves my CHEESY CHICKEN:

Line a 13 x 9 pan with chicken breasts.

Cover each with a slice of American Cheese.

Pour 2-3 small can of Cream of Mushroom soup over the chicken (more if you like a lot of sauce/gravy).

Top with seasoned bread crumbs and dot with butter.

Bake 1 hour at 350 degrees.

You can serve this alone or with noodles or rice. :thumbsup2

I also have a really good crockpot chicken dish.

canned cream of mushroom soup mixed with water then mix in rice. place chicken breast on top. I add fresh onion, ground black pepper, salt and a little bit of garlic powder on top for seasoning. simmer on low all day. The rice soaks up the mushroom soup and the chicken is very moist.

This is a quick and easy recipe, requires three ingredients (aside from the chicken) and my family loves it! I don't even measure anything.

Oven Ranch Chicken

a small pint of sour cream
a small packet of ranch dressing mix (the powder kind, I use Hidden Valley)
some plain or herb breadcrumbs, about 1 cup - I usually use Progresso, but any kind works

Mix the bread crumbs with the ranch dressing mix. Dip the chicken in the sour cream, then in the bread crumbs and place in baking dish or cookie sheet. Lightly spray with cooking spray (this is optional). Bake for 35 minutes or until chicken juices run clear. Yum!!

2 pt. fresh mushrooms
1/2 c. dry white wine

Brown chicken in butter and place in shallow baking pan. Saute onion and mushrooms in pan where chicken was browned. Add white wine to onion and mushrooms. Bring to boil, pour and spoon over chicken breasts. Bake 3/4 hour at 350 degrees. Cover if getting too brown.

My Mother calls it drunk chicken…
This is a as much or little as you’d like recipe.


Chicken breast
Wine (white or red) enough to cover bottom of the pan you use.
Molasses – about a tablespoon give or take
Garlic to taste
Soy sauce about the same amount as the wine
Brown sugar (a dollop)


Add everything but chicken in a baking pan, mix well (so the sugar and molasses dissolves) add chicken. You can either bake it, or marinade it however long you’d like then grill it.

A twist on chicken tacos:

Cube chicken breasts, saute in oil till browned. Add one can black beans, 1 cup salsa, and 1 can corn (or equivalent frozen corn). Heat through. Serve in heated taco shells and top with shredded cheese, lettuce, additional salsa, sour cream....whatever you usually top tacos with. Or, make into a salad and crumble taco shells/tortilla chips into the salad for extra crunch.

Crockpot BBQ chicken
Chicken breasts
1 bottle BBQ sauce, your choice of flavor
1 bottle/can beer, again your choice of flavor

Combine BBQ sauce/beer; add chicken and stir to coat. Cook all day on low. YUM. You can serve with corn/corn on the cob and a salad and it feels like summer again!

When we get chicken breasts, dh puts it in a marinade, several different ones from the bottles or envelopes, then freezes them in a zip lock. My favorite one is equal parts zesty italian and mayo. I usually marinade this overnight. The next day I cook it in the oven or stove top with the marinade. When it's done I serve it over rice with some broccoli on the side.

I have a great recipe from the retirement home that I work at.:thumbsup2 My family loves it and I always make the big amount when I have a day off or extra time and freeze in portions that I would use. I just thaw it out in the morning and dump it over whatever we are having that night for supper. Usually chicken. I put it in a pan and cover the chicken with the sauce and bake it for about an hour at 300 or until the chicken is tender. The extra sauce is also good on potatoes!!

BAR-B-QUE SAUCE

3T----3/4cup----11/2cup onion
2T----1/2cup----1cup butter
2T----1/2cup----1cup sugar
2T----1/2cup----1cup vinegar
1T----4T--------8T worcheshere sauce
1/4c---1cup-----2 cups lemon juice
1cup----4cups---8cups ketchup
1/2cup---2cups---4cups celery
1tsp----4tsp----8tsp dry mustard

Melt butter, add chopped onions and dry mustard, then add the rest of the ingrediants in the order that they appear. Simmer for about 1/2 hour.

The bigger amount can be made and frozen in serving sizes for up to a year and is a major time saver. :laundy: The sauce is great over chicken, meatballs, or pork chops.

I must try that one! I use sb chicken for everything (except for a big roast!) This is one of my favourite recipes - it seems fattening but actually its not too bad :thumbsup2

Melt about 1oz butter in a large saute pan and cook 4 chicken breasts and a choppped onion until over a medium heat for about 3 minutes until the chicken is slightly browned on both sides (you can add sliced mushrooms as well if you like!)

Sprinkle over a crumbled chcicken stock cube and 1-2 tsp dried mixed herbs. Blend together 1oz cornflour with 15 fl oz milk and pour over chicken. Bring to boil, stiriing until it thickens. Stir in 5 fl oz apple juiceor cider and turn heat down very low, cover and cook for 20-25 mins until chicken is cooked, Turn chicken at least once, and stir from time to time.

We love this with roast potatoes!

I didn't read throught the post so I don't know if everything that was posted but this is what I like to do w/ chicken.

preheat oven to 350
in one or two baking dishes (depending on how much chicken you are cooking and if you want different flavors), I sprinkle w/ salt, pepper, garlic powder, and then I use Mrs Dash, McCormick, or any brand of flavored seasonings. I currently have Mrs. Dash Tomato Basil Garlic seasoning and McCormick Roasted Garlic and Bell Pepper seasoning. After covering one side w/ all of my favorite things I flip the chicken over and repeat. Then I place about a half teaspoon of butter/margarine (I use country crock). Stick it in the oven for an hour.

With this I usually fix Pasta Roni angel hair pasta parmeasan flavor and any veggie on hand. When fixing my plate I put a chicken breast and the veggie on then I put the pasta on my plate and top it w/ one to two teaspoons of the butter and seasonings left in the pot.

brown chicken first then put in a casserole dish with half a cup of wine, one can of cream of chicken, one can of cream of mushroom, two tablespoons of soy sauce. Bake at 350 for 30 minutes and serve over white rice. The recipe may need to be doubled if more chicken is used.

DH just made some stuffed chicken. He pounds its out to flatten it...then he rolls stuffing up in them and bakes them...they are quite wonderful and a real family favorite!
He uses the Bells In-the-Bird stuffing.

that sounds really good...I'm assuming he makes the stuffing first? Sorry if that's obvious...lol
