Chicken Recipes Anyone?

Ok, I dont usually do this but...


For tonight's dinner, my cook is going to prepare some simple cooked chicken.


I asked her to make it boiled, plain, just cooked chicken!


So later on I could make something yummy to eat.





Now, does anyone have a chicken recipe for me?


Again, I have simple cooked chicken, so nothing fried or tricky.


A recipe where all I need to do is add the chicken, or grill it, etc.





Much thanks!Chicken Recipes Anyone?
Make a seeded mustard, honey and cream sauce to pour over the top. YummyChicken Recipes Anyone?

If it is, you can always simply use a Lawry's marinade from the salad dressing aisle of the grocery store to give your chicken breasts great flavor in just a few minutes of soaking before slapping them on the grill.
Chicken Fajitas


Ingredients


4 Boneless, skinless chicken breast(about 1 1/2 pounds


Vegetable oil


Salt and freshly ground black pepper


3-4 teaspoons Ground cumin


3 Medium garlic cloves, minced


3 tablespoons Lime juice


1 1/2 Medium red onions, root end left intact, halved lengthwise, each half cut into 6 wedges


1 1/2 Each medium red and green bell peppers, halved, seeded, and cut into 6 wedges


8-12 laRge flour tortillas, warmed


1 cup Sour cream


2 Avocados, mashed and seasoned with lime juice and salt


Preparation





1. Heat oven to lowest setting; at the same time, heat a large (12-inch) cast-iron or heavy-bottomed nonstick skillet over medium-low heat.





2. Meanwhile, lightly pound chicken breasts to an even thickness. Coat both side of each piece of chicken with just enough oil to get the seasonings to stick. Sprinkle each side with salt, pepper, and some cumin.





3. Mix garlic and lime juice in a shallow, nonreactive baking pan, such as a Pyrex, and set near stove.





4. A few minutes before cooking, increase heat to high and turn on exhaust fan. When pan starts to send up wisps of smoke, add the 2 thickest pieces of chicken. Cook until seared on first side, about 3 minutes. Turn and cook on other side until seared, 2 to 3 minutes longer for medium. Transfer to marinade; turn to completely coat and place in warm oven. Add remaining pieces of chicken to hot skillet. Cook until seared, about 2 minutes per side for medium doneness. Transfer to marinade and turn to coat. Place in warm oven.





5. Pour off all but 2 tablespoons fat from skillet. Add onions and peppers, and saute until crisp-tender, about 8 minutes.





6. Heat the tortillas while slicing the meat, then serve immediately. Slice meat thinly against the grain. Transfer to a platter, along with peppers and onions. If you are planning to eat everything at one sitting, pour lime marinade over meat. If not, pour marinade into a small bowl and pass separately, along with tortillas, sour cream, and avocado.
You don't want much do you! there are some cracking ideas but you need effort to do them and I don't think you want or are able to do them. I would go with a simple sliced chicken sandwich with all the trimmings you like on. Or you could do a salad with chunks of chicken in. Enjoy!
1. Boil or steam some broccoli in a little salted water and drain, add the chicken and a can of cream of mushroom soup. Spread in a casserole dish and top with bread crumbs. Put in the oven at 350 for about 20 minutes or until the bread crumbs start to brown.





2. Buy or make 2 pie crusts. Mix your chicken with a bag of frozen mixed vegetables and a can of cream of chicken soup. Put that mixture in one of the pie shells and top with the other pie shell. Cut a slit in top. Bake at 375 until done. Approximately 30 - 45 minutes.
Here are 2 recipes:u can seperate the chicken to wings and breasts and add the sauces that i listed

Cut off tips of chicken wings if desired. Place wings into a large ziploc bag or storage container with soy sauce, sherry, ginger, garlic and honey. Stir to distribute all ingredients (except oil) and coat the chicken pieces well.


Place in refrigerator overnight, stirring around occasionally to make sure all pieces are marinated evenly.





Preheat oil to 360-365 degrees in a heavy bottom pan.
