We make that chicken, rice and veggie thing with soup.
http://www.campbellkitchen.com/
Check it out, it's the Cheesy Chicken & Rice casserole
Hubby can even make it.

When in doubt, smother chicken with soup and veggies

Large sauce pan over medium heat, add some oil, sear the chicken on each side for about a minute. Put into a baking dish, I sprayed the bottom, place the breasts into the pan and top with mozzarella and parmesan cheese and bake for about 15 mins, give or take until chicken is cooked to temperature.

Or you can make them in the pan, cover with parmesan, you kind of bread the chicken with it. Put some on top, melt it flip it over it cooks on the bottom as you melt more on the other side then flip it til you cut a lite brown crust. In a bowl mix tomatos and basil. When chicken done top with mixture. Awesome flavor.

That's MY idea of cooking too!!

You could always use the old stand by of cream of mushroom soup for gravy. Brown the chicken in a pan, make some mashed potatoes and your favorite veggie along with some dinner rolls and a side salad. Good comfort food on a cold day! Also when I have a lot of chicken breast to use I put some in the crock pot and cook them ahead of time...that way you have them on hand for chicken salad or recipes you want to make at the last minute.

OLIVIA_KARHIS · 02-06-2007, 12:45 PM

There is shake in bake.. there is also TONS of little seasoning bags for chicken in the stores..... How about chicken alfredo? you can buy the sauce... cook the chicken (how ever you like) warm the sauce up, then put in your frozen broccoli ..let that warm up (while cooking your noddels, in a different pan) cut up the chicken when its done and add it to the sauce and broccoli. Let the flavor blend for about 10 min and then add it to the noodles.
Just add Salad and maybe galic breed (which you can also buy that pre-made at the store)...

also try http://allrecipes.com/Recipes/Meat-a...cken/Main.aspx there is TONES if chicken recipes on that link. Hope this helps!!

TatumsMom · 02-06-2007, 12:47 PM

Keep in mind for the next time you go to the store..... McCormick's has a great marinade called Grill Mates. It's just a little package of powder stuff - you find it with the taco mixes and such. My favorite is the Chipotle one. I thaw out the chicken breasts (yes, we live on those frozen chicken breasts) the night before, put them in the fridge till morning. In the morning I mix the marinade powder with the oil in a big ziploc, put the chicken in and put the bag in the fridge. I get hubby to flip the bag during the day if he comes home and then grill them that night. You don't HAVE to marinade them all day but I find it's best that way!

Little Bit · 02-06-2007, 12:50 PM

This sounds very easy and very good! I think I will try it tonight!

TatumsMom · 02-06-2007, 12:50 PM

Oh, I LOVE Shake N Bake! I actually cut the chicken breasts in square chunks so that I can get more seasoning on them. Of course if you do that, then it takes pretty much both packages of seasoning to cover 3-4 chicken breasts. Only one package though if you do them full size.

Yorkiedaze · 02-06-2007, 12:53 PM

Cook some rice. Throw the chicken in a hot skillet and fry quickly till white, then remove and add a little olive oil or what ever you have and throw some veggies in along with some nuts if you have them then put the chicken back in with the veggies, add some teriyaki or any other asian sauce and stir for a few seconds. Put over rice.
