Easy chicken recipes??

cp760cp760

It seems like all we ever eat is boneless, skinless chicken breast. The problem is that I'm out of EASY ideas. Usually I just pour some bbq sauce on it or put some onion/chive cream cheese over it or pasta sauce and mozzarella. That's about as fancy as I get...what else can I do? Occasionally I'll roll chunks of chicken in crushed potato chips and bake homemade chicken nuggets. Help, I'm out of ideas. I'm a sahm who doesn't like to cook, so the more basic, the better. My dh just got me a crock pot for our anniversary (talk about a stereotypical husband-to-wife gift) - I can handle putting chicken and 2 or 3 other things in the pot, but that's about it. Thanks! :)

    Cut a big slit down the side of the chicken breast. Inside, stuff goat cheese (herbed goat cheese is best) and several pieces of fresh basil. Rub the outside with olive oil and sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. Bake on 375 until cooked through, turning once.

    Pour Pesto on top of raw chicken, sprinkle parmesan cheese, and pine nuts. Cook until done!

    I'm going to do it with Bruchetta next time, and just leave out the pine nuts.

    i too do not like to cook and like things nice and easy!

    ricearoni.com has some easy ones.  i buy the 'chicken' rice a roni box:

    follow the directions, but add 2 cups of water instead of 2 1/2 cups (the recipe online says all this).  bring to a boil.

    -add the uncooked chunks of boneless chicken and sprinkle some basil

    -simmer (15 min?)

    -add diced tomato and cheddar cheese on top, cook another couple minutes and wa-la!

    My favorite easy recipe is salsa chicken. Place a few boneless, skinless breasts in your crock pot, top with a package of taco seasoning and a jar of mild salsa. Cook on low for about 5 hours, then shread. Add a (rinsed) can of black beans. Serve on tortillas with some cheese and sour cream.

    cut up chicken breasts into bite size pieces and put into 9x9 inch pan

    cover with italian dressing

    add a drained can of mushrooms and stir

    sprinkle with paprika

    bake at 400 until done - usually about 20 minutes, sometimes I stir in the middle of cooking it, sometimes I don't.

    you can sprinkle some cheese on top right at the end if you want to.

    Easy!  DH LOVES it.

    I will make some veggies with it or one of those seasoned pasta things.

    Baked chicken parmesan

    Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

    Season chicken breasts with salt & pepper; dip in a bowl with a beaten egg and 2 tablespoons of milk; dip in a bowl of Italian-seasoned breadcrumbs; place in a greased baking dish and bake 10-12 minutes until nearly cooked through and crispy.  Remove from oven.  Spoon your favorite spaghetti sauce over the top of each breast and spinkle on mozzarella & parmesan cheese and return to oven for 5-6 more minutes until sauce is heated through and cheese is melted.

    Baked chicken and rice:

    Stir together:

    • one cup of uncooked rice (I use brown rice)
    • one can of cream of mushroom soup (I use 99% fat free, low sodium)
    • one can of cream of chicken (99% fat free)
    • one soup can of milk

    Spray a 9 x 13 baking pan with cooking spray, and pour mixture into pan.  Place cut-up chicken breast pieces on top of the mixture (I use one pkg of boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into large chunks).  Sprinkle half a packet of dried onion soup mix over the top of the entire casserole.  Cover with foil.  Bake at 300 for 2 hours.

    I love this recipe because it takes literally minutes to throw together, so I can do it during DD's afternoon nap, and then it bakes until dinner time.  We usually have it with a salad and a veggie, like broccoli.
