Catwoman Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 I am such an idiot. :glare: I was thinking you were trying to actually, physically stretch them. :eek: Like on some sort of medieval-looking chicken-stretching rack or something. :ack2: I hope Jacques Pepin isn't a member of this forum, because if he is, he's probably on his way to my house right now to beat me senseless with a rolling pin. (Although maybe he'll take the time to cook dinner afterward, so it might not be such a bad thing after all... :tongue_smilie:) I wonder if he'll make cupcakes. :001_wub: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melissa in Australia Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 what I do is cut them lengthwise so they are thinner. Then they feed double the people Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have nothing to add to the long list of things you can dice a chicken breast and add the pieces to. I routinely use one breast for the four of us.

Crimson Wife Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 I like to make up a roux, add a whole bunch of veggies, and biscuit dough on top for pot pie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty in Pink Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 You could: stir-fry with lots of veggies and serve over noodles or rice mix it with cooked beans, season as for tacos, and do any sort of Mexican dish -- tacos, enchiladas, taco salad, burritos, etc grill it, chop or shred it, and make quesadillas grill it, chop it, mix with chopped apples, raisans, walnuts or pecans, celery, red onion (if your crew likes it), mayo, salt & pepper -- chicken salad or wraps make snitzel. Pound it thin with a meat mallet, dredge in seasoned flour, pan fry, set aside. Make a gravy with the pan drippings (add mushrooms if you like). Season well. Return cooked meat to pan and turn to coat with gravy. Serve over noodles, rice, or mashed potatoes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Truscifi Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 I usually cook and shred them, then use the meat for quesodillas or pot pie, depending on what else is planned for the week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
