Ideas for chicken breast

[bunkkinsmom]

Marinate in beer, honey, and lime. You can then throw them in a skillet, shred as they cook, flour tortillas and you're done!

This is my go to meal and the kids love it. Sometimes I cude up the chicken. I also work with a man that adds French Cut green beans and cheese at the end of the bake time.

1 can (10 3/4 ounces) Campbell's® Condensed Cream of Mushroom Soup (Regular or 98% Fat Free)

1 cup water

3/4 cup uncooked regular long-grain white rice

1/4 teaspoon paprika

1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

1 1/4 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breast halves

Stir the soup, water, rice, paprika and black pepper in a 2-quart shallow baking dish. Top with the chicken. Season with additional paprika and black pepper. Cover the baking dish.
Bake at 375°F. for 45 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the rice is tender.

Browned with mushrooms and thyme and served with risotto. Of course the less fancy version of this is to put uncooked rice, water, and cream of mushroom soup in a casserole dish, top with the chicken breasts and then cook for an hour!

This is what I'm making right now. I'm serving it with scalloped potatoes (hubby wants fries ) Easy peasy.

If you have extra, my family and I will be right over.

I took out ground beef for dinner and still have no idea what to do with it. I guess we'll have burgers.

What should I season the egg with? This sounds simple and I think I have everything I need on hand.

at the very least, salt and pepper...then you can use oregano or paprika or whatever you like.

If the bread crumbs are not seasoned, you should season them too.

Murgh Makhani (Butter Chicken)

DS15 says it tastes like Doritos. I could eat this every week.

2 large boneless chicken breasts, cut into bite-size pieces
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon ginger
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon garam masala (optional, hard to find)
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup cream
2-3 tablespoons tomato paste (to taste)

Put all the spices and salt into a ziploc bag, shake to combine. Add chicken and shake to coat evenly. I like to let the chicken sit in the spice rub for about an hour before cooking. Saute chicken in 2 tablespoon of butter or oil. I use extra virgin olive oil. When the chicken no longer looks raw, add the cream and tomato paste, stir to combine. Let chicken simmer in cream sauce for about 5 minutes. Serve over rice.

This is quick and easy:

BOURBON CHICKEN

2 lbs boneless chicken breasts, cut into bite sized pieces
1 T olive oil
1 garlic clove, crushed
1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
1/4 cup apple juice (i actually used diet orange pop instead)
1/3 cup light brown sugar
2 T ketchup
1 T apple cider vinegar
1/2 cup water
1/3 cup soy sauce

heat oil in a large skillet and add chicken pieces and cook until lightly browned. remove chicken.

add remaining ingredients, heating over medium heat until well mixed and dissolved. add chicken and bring to a hard boil. reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes.

This is excellent served over rice. I don't use orange pop though. LOL I've started using pork tenderloin to make this because I like the flavor better. I also add a slurry of cornstarch and water to thicken the sauce.

This is a favorite recipe of ours. Since you only have 3 breasts, you could cut it down a little but for me, the more bacon the better!

Bacon Chicken


6 slices bacon
1 Tbsp. butter
1 Tbsp. olive oil
5 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
1 finely chopped onion
5 cloves garlic, minced
1/8 tsp. pepper
1/2 cup chopped parsley, if desired
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese


Cook bacon in 12" skillet until crisp, about 4-6 minutes. Crumble bacon and set aside. Pour bacon grease out of skillet, but don't wash or wipe it. Add butter and olive oil to same skillet. Saute chicken breasts in this mixture over medium heat, turning once, until chicken is cooked. Place chicken in ungreased 12x8" baking dish.

Cook onion and garlic in drippings remaining in skillet. Cook until onion is softened, then stir in pepper and cooked bacon. Spoon over chicken breasts and sprinkle with parsley and cheese. Bake at 350 degrees for 10-15 minutes until cheese is melted.

My DH likes his on a bun. He adds some ranch dressing and he's happy!

I don't actually use the orange pop either, lol. I forgot it was in the notes on the recipe. I use the apple juice. We serve it over rice, too. I'll have to try it with the pork. That sounds good, too.

Try the easy 4-step chicken recipe from the winner of Food Network Star a few seasons ago. Use whatever ingredients you have on hand...it's yummy!

1. Season chicken and dredge in seasoned flour.

2. Brown chicken in hot oil, cook until done. Remove chicken.

3. In same pan, saute aromatics (onions, garlic, herbs, celery, what have you)

4. In a measuring cup, measure out a 1.25 cup of liquid (I've used chicken broth, apple juice, beer, wine, etc.) Turn the heat up to high, and deglaze the pan with the broth mixture until starting to reduce. Whisk in 2 tbsp butter. Season to taste.

Place a bed of cooked spinach on a serving platter, top with the chicken. Spoon the sauce over the chicken and serve.

I make Chicken Pockets

Chicken Breast
Cream cheese
Croissants

Nuke or bake 2-3 chicken breasts until done, shred

Soften 1 package of cream cheese in microwave, then stir it into the chicken

Separate croissants into squares(2 triangles together) and pinch to seal. Then roll out fairly thin. Place 2 big spoonfuls of the chicken mixture onto each square, then pull corners together and pinch closed

Bake until the croissants are nice and golden.

YUMMY! and so easy.....

I bake mine all the time.Depending what I got on hand,I smother them with either canned cream of mushroom or bbq suace.Cover with foil and cook @ 350* for a hour or until done.

 

[*NikkiBell*]

I really like this recipe and so do several of my friends. Season the chicken breast, cover it in sour cream, and then coat it in broken corn flakes. Fry. Delicious!

 

[Mandychelle79]

I would cube up the chicken, cook in skillet, when done add spaghetti sauce and heat through. Serve over pasta.

Another favorite

Using a Bacon ranch suddenly salad ( I use the one from Aldis)

Cube chicken, cook until done and cool.

Make salad as directed and then add diced veggies ( I do tomatoes, green peppers and onions)

Add chicken and shredded cheese.

 

[disykat]

I'm pretty sure I got this recipe here

Balsamic Chicken

Add a splash of olive oil, a good sized splash of balsamic vinegar (maybe 1/3 cup? I'm using the word splash in a general sense - maybe a mean "a lot!"), garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper to a can of chopped tomatoes. The mixture should be pretty brown from the vinegar. Bake. You can add some shredded mozarella at the end if you want.

I love this stuff. It's an easy, always have the ingredients type recipe. I serve it with pasta.

Salsa Chicken

Salt and pepper to taste
toss in a pan and pour salsa until the chicken has no pick in it.

Chicken Marsala is my kids' favorite! Easy and quick too!

OK, I've avoided Chicken Marsala because I'm not wild about red wine based sauces. A friend at work recommended this recipe, so recently made it for my wine lovin' DH (used merlot instead). Wish I would have doubled the sauce!! Instructions look more time-consuming than they are.

Another fast & dirty recipe is White Chicken Chili:

Poach & shred 3-4 chicken breasts *
2 cans white beans (northern or cannellini - I prefer to rinse them)
16 oz. jar of salsa (your choice of "heat" and chunkiness)
2 tsp. cumin
Some water or chicken broth to thin it out a bit

Once heated, toss in 4-8 oz. of shredded/cubed Monterey Jack cheese (or pepper jack if you prefer more heat) until melted.

* Found the following recipe for "Unboiled Chicken" awhile back and believe it or not, it works! Gives you really moist, flavorful chicken. Sometimes do a whole pkg. of chicken breasts from Sam's Club, seal it in smaller vacuum bags & freeze for later.
