So I got some chicken out...

[desertrat]

Or use cheez-its

I can see a whole Cheez-its cook book!

In the salad seasoning isle, they now sell onion crisps as a salad topping, but they have different flavors. Great on salads and in chili, bet they'd be good as a coating too.

Lot of good ideas, but if you just nuke it for 20 minutes and throw it on their plates they will learn how to cook on their own.

BOING-BOING-BOING as it bounces off the plate and onto the floor....
Check out my earlier post on pan frying it.... not a lot different end result!

Lemon pepper chicken

1. pound chicken breasts until flattened (if they're the large, thick ones, cut in half)
2. grate the peel from one large lemon & put it into a gallon size ziploc bag.
3. juice the lemon and put the juice into the ziploc
4. add some olive oil (approximately 1/4 cup -- I just eyeball it) to the ziploc
5. add fresh ground black pepper to the ziploc
6. toss the pounded chicken breasts iinto the ziploc, seal it well, and smoosh it all around until the chicken is covered with the marinade.
7. Let the bag sit on the counter for 15 minutes or so while you get the grill pan ready (or heat the pasta water, etc.)
8. grill the chicken until done

I use a George Foreman grill for this. If using a small grill, keep chicken warm on a plate covered with foil while you're waiting for the rest to cook. I usually have this with a pasta dish (penne, ricotta, parmesan, peas, fresh parsley, fresh basil & grape tomatoes).

Most of the family will eat this without complaining -- a rarity in my house! If there are any leftovers, they're gone the next day!

You could make oven fried chicken
roll it in egg and then corn flakes and bake. It's yummy and stays really crispy.

There is stuffed Chicken breast
You can either stuff it with spinach and cheese or you can stuff it with apples and cream cheese

I made spinach/herb cheese stuffed chicken the other night and it was delicious. You pound the chicken breasts until thin. Place several fresh spinach leaves all over the chicken. Spread an herb cheese all over the spinach. The kind I used was garlic herb pub cheese, available right at the grocery store. It was soft and came in a little tub. Roll and secure with toothpicks. Dip in melted butter and then coat with a mixture of cornflake crumbs (they sell boxes of crumbs instead of having to crush them yourself), parsley flakes and paprika. I cooked mine in the microwave because the recipe was from a microwave cookbook, but I'm sure you could also bake in the oven. Even cooking in the microwave, the outside was crispy.

I have heard of people doing that but have not brought myself to do that. I am actually making stuffed chicken tonight but am putting mushrooms, fresh spinach, fresh mozzarella and for mine and DB's I was thinking of adding pepperjack cheese. Going to spray with Pam and roll in Italian breadcrumbs and then BAKE

The recipe was from a tupperware cookbook that uses the microwave stacker cooking set. You can make 3 different items in the microwave at once using the set. I don't use it often, but it's pretty cool. The cookbook is cut into 3 sections and you can mix and match the 3 items you want to make. I made lemon pepper orzo in the bottom and the chicken in the middle. I didn't cook anything in the top section. Most of the recipes for that section are desserts.
