Put a package of thawed chicken breasts into a glass pan. Bake uncovered in the over at 350 for 20 minutes. At 20 mins, cover chicken with dressing or BBQ sauce of choice (Italian dressing and BBQ sauce work the best.) Bake for another 15-20 min until done.
Easy peasy and it always comes out really moist and yummy.
I did a yum crockpot one from the recipe list someone sent around a while back - Basil chicken: Stick chicken in the crock, season w/ basil, salt, pepper - add a can of cream of celery soup and one (or half) of a green bell pepper chopped up - cook on low for 3-4 hours. It was really good!
Yesterday, I made another crockpot chicken. Chicken breasts, 1 8 oz block of cream cheese and a package of Good Seasons Italian salad dressing mix. Very easy and very good
I'm making Provencal chicken right now, it's super easy. It uses split chicken breasts with skin, but you can adapt it to boneless skinless chicken breast.
You take a pound of carrots (I use a whole bag of baby carrots), 2 quartered onions which you take apart a little bit, toss them in olive oil and put them on a cookie sheet. Then you mix one tablespoon of dijon mustard with a teaspoon of herbs de provence or thyme, and spread it underneath the skin of the chicken. Salt, pepper over everything, throw it in a 475 degree oven on the top rack for 30 minutes. Take out the chicken, put in some fresh parsley and about 2 tablespoons of lemon juice on the veggies, put them back in for 10 minutes (I usually lower the oven temp at this point). The original recipe also calls for green olives that you add in with the lemon juice, but I don't like olives so I skip them. That's it.
3 whole heads garlic (about 40 cloves) 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts Salt & Fresh Ground Pepper 3 TBSP Salted Butter 3 TBSP EVOO 1 1/2 c. white wine 2 TBSP dried thyme 2 TBSP flour 2/3 c. heavy cream
Drop
the garlic into a pot of boiling water. Wait for 60 seconds, then drain
& peel. Set aside cloves. Season chicken very liberally with salt
& pepper. Heat the butter and oil in a large, deep pan over medium
high heat. Saute the chicken until nicely browned (about 5 minutes per
side). When done, transfer to a plate.
Next add all the garlic
cloves to the pan. Lower the heat to medium and saute for 10 minutes,
turning often, until evenly browned. Add wine and bring to a boil.
Scrape the bottom bits from the bottom of the pan Let alcohol burn off.
Return chicken to the pot and sprinkle thyme over the top of each
chicken breast. Cover and simmer for 20-30 minutes.
Remove
chicken to a platter and cover with foil. In a small bowl, whisk
together flower and /2 c. of the sauce and then whisk it back into the
rest of the sauce. Raise the heat to medium-high, add cream and boil
for about 3 minutes. Pour sauce over chicken and serve.

When I made it with a friend we used the whole cup of cream that came
in the container and even added a little extra half & half that I
had because the sauce was so good that we knew we needed more of it to
dip our bread into!!! =o)
*When my she re-made it later she added fresh mushrooms and said it was better then you could imagine.
This
is as the recipe was given to me. I should add that I forgot to add the
thyme when the recipe called for it so I added it when I added the
cream and only added 2 tsp. 2 TBSP sounds like an awful lot of thyme to
me. JMHO.
1-15oz can black beans, rinsed and drained 1 can corn, drained 1 cup of salsa 5 chicken breasts 8oz cream cheese, cubed 1 1/2 C. Cheddar cheese
Place
chicken in slow cooker. Mix beans, corn and salsa together. Pour this
mixture over chicken. Cover and cook on low for 7 hours or until
chicken is tender. Remove chicken and cut into bite size pieces or
shred. Put chicken back in slow cooker. Add cream cheese and turn on
high. Heat until cream cheese melts. Serve over rice and top with
cheese. YUMMY!!
4 boneless chicken breasts 2 T butter, melted salt and pepper to taste 1/4 C brown Sugar 8oz can crushed pineapples 1/4 C lemon juice or balsamic vinegar 2 T mustard 1 tsp worcestershire sauce 1 tsp soy sauce
Coat
a glass dish with Pam. Brush chicken with butter and place in dish.
Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Combine all other ingredients and pour
over chicken. Bake at 375 for 30 minutes.

Ingredients:
Chicken breasts
bacon
flavor enhancer (I used sage but garlic, rosemary, sun dried tomato or anything else would work too)
Place chicken breasts on a plate. Put on flavor enhancer of your choice on top of chicken. I used 1-2 sage leaves per chicken breast.
Wrap each chicken breast in 2 slices of bacon. Try to make it so the ends are on the bottom.
Place chicken in a baking dish. Bake at 350 until done, around 30-35 minutes.
So yummy!
