What to do with chicken?

[MsDisney23]

I took out some chicken lastnight to thaw. I have about 4 to 5 piece's of chicken thighs to cook. Not sure how I feel like cooking them, so I thought I would turn to my friends here and let ya'll help me out!

How would you cook them? Oh, it is way to cold to even think of the bbq, or that is where they would be! I love bbq chicken, but not today! Brrrr.....

Pick up some tandoori masala, marinate the thighs in yogurt and the spices, then bake.

I have chicken that I am getting ready to cook too! I put mine in the crockpot with some water so when I get home from church I can use 1/2 to make chicken and noodles today and the rest to make chicken pot pie for monday.

Chicken Caccitore (sp?) is pretty easy. Just brown the chicken, add some green peppers, mushrooms, and onions and a jar of marinara sauce. Simmer until the chicken is cooked and serve over pasta or plain rice.

I was wondering what to do with the chicken thighs I took out two days ago and still haven't made. I am just jumping on to see what people do!

Throw them in the crockpot with a can of condensed cream of mushroom soup. Cook for about 5-7hrs on low, serve over rice or noodles or mashed potatoes. Very easy.

If you have Bisquick, make the chicken and dumplins recipe that is on the box. It is quite delicious!!!!! Oh, and easy!!!!

I don't have a crockpot, but would do the same thing.
Season the chicken with garlic salt, black pepper, and flour and brown.
Put the chicken in a casserole dish and top it off with one or two cans for cream of mushrooms. If you want, you can also add on thin slices of fresh mushrooms into the mixture or sliced carrots and celery.

I just made something yummy with boneless chicken thighs yesterday. I took about 6 boneless chicken thighs, a bag of frozen cauliflower, a jar of Racaito sauce (green sauce found in ethnic/hispanic section of grocery store), and a little green jalapeno hot sauce and put it in my crock pot. After about 6 hours the meat was falling apart and I added a can of white kidney beans (cannelini). It had turned into a white chicken chili/stew, and was soooo good. We just had the leftovers for lunch today.

edited to add: the cauliflower kind of disintegrated and acted as a thickening agent for the sauce.

I love chicken thighs with orange marmalade or apricot jelly. I brown them in butter (just a little!) then coat them in the marmalade or jelly. Then bake till cooked through. Not gourmet at all, but pretty tasty. Usually I serve them with brown rice and a veggie.

Last night I made something I called "Dirty Chicken". I used boneless chicken breast, but thigh meat would work too.

I made it up yesterday, so this isn/t really a recipe, but just what I actually did...

Put chicken pieces in glass baking dish. (I cut the chicken breasts into about 3 or 4 pieces each, easier to handle for eating, also faster-cooking).
Drizzle extra virgin olive oil over it.
Add minced garlic(about teaspooon or so - mine was from a jar) and black olive tapenade(about 3 Tablespoons or to taste, mine was from Trader Joe's).
Mix together.
Bake at 350 for 30 minutes.
Turn oven off.
(This way the chicken wil be ready when you are, plus it won't dry out from overcooking.)

I served the chicken with a Annie Chung's Black Bean noodle kit along with green beans and some orange wedges on the side.

It was a big hit .
agnes!

Pot Roast Chicken:

Brown your chicken with a little oil. Take the chicken out and saute some chopped onions. Put the chicken back into the pot and add some chicken broth. Salt and pepper to taste. Simmer the chicken. The chicken will basically fall off the bone it is so tender. I always thicken my gravy with some corn starch. Serve over cooked rice. Easy and yummy, especially on a cold day.
