*Jessica* Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 I need inspiration, please?! I have no idea what to do with my boneless skinless chicken breasts for dinner. I'm definitely going to get back to menu planning, but I still need to feed the family tonight. Any ideas? I would prefer something quick and easy after this very long day. We have a wide variety of items in the fridge/freezer/pantry. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SonshineLearner Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 Chicken Parmesan. Yum! That'd be our try... :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crissy Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 Sweet and sour chicken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liz CA Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 If you have a heavy skillet like cast iron, I's sprinkle a little thyme and lemon juice on the chicken and sear them on the stovetop. Rice would be our choice with it and a quick salad or some chopped carrots and peas sauteed in butter or olive oil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Jessica* Posted February 16, 2010 Author Share Posted February 16, 2010 Yum! Those both sound like good ideas. I just checked and we're all out of mozzarella. :( Crissy, do you think fresh pineapple would work in the sweet and sour chicken recipe?

Crissy Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 Crissy, do you think fresh pineapple would work in the sweet and sour chicken recipe? I think it would be even better than canned! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

*Jessica* Posted February 16, 2010 Author Share Posted February 16, 2010 I think it would be even better than canned! Hmmm, maybe I should make this. Or maybe I should just stop changing my mind and go cook! :lol: I think we'll have the sweet and sour tomorrow. Other ideas are welcome. I still have a menu plan to work on!

Mrs Mungo Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 I made Cobb Salad with chicken breasts last night. I marinate the chicken breasts in olive oil, lemon juice and several cloves of crushed garlic then I cook them about 5 minutes per side in a pan. Also in my cobb salad: romaine, grape tomatoes, sliced boiled eggs, bacon, sliced avocado and crumbled blue cheese (on the side because dh doesn't like blue cheese). Tomorrow I'm making chicken stir fry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WiseOwlKnits Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 Quesadillas? Chicken burritos? Chicken pot pie? Chicken and dumplings? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

*Jessica* Posted February 17, 2010 Author Share Posted February 17, 2010 Thank you for all the great ideas! We had the lemon and thyme chicken, rice, and a salad. It was simple and delicious. I'm going to start my menu planning right now so I don't have this happen again any time soon. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gardening momma Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 I just mentioned in the rice thread how I like to make chicken breasts: I lightly grease (usually with a spray) a small/medium casserole dish (I think mine is 1.5 qt). I lightly salt & pepper both sides of the chicken breasts, put them in the dish and cover with a glass lid. I bake it anywhere from 350 to 400 for 45-60 min. They come out very tender and very good. Baking longer has not been detrimental--it seems to come out just as good. Tonight it was 400 for almost 60 min. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
