I need a really great recipe for chicken breasts, nothing to hard, and nothing weird please...it has to please

a wide range of pallates....I need a really great recipe for chicken breasts, nothing to hard, and nothing weird please...it has to please
This is the simplest recipe ever, everyone loves it and it's pretty versatile.





You don't need to, but I like to pound my chicken breast so they are the same thickness all around. Then put them in a ziplock bag with 1/2 bottle of Italian dressing. Let them marinate for about 3 hours. Then sautee them in a pan for 5 minutes per side. Don't let them cook more than 5 minutes per side. Then put them on a baking pan. Top with sliced tomato, make sure that you salt and pepper the tomatoes, it does make a difference. Then top with cheese. I like gorgozola, but that might be strong for some tastes. When I make it for a crowd I top with mozz cheese and bake on 400 for about 5 minutes. This will let the chicken finish cooking and still be juicy.





Now comes the versatile part. I have served this with buttered and pesto pasta and I have served this on a good roll and salad. I have also not melted the cheese and made a pasta salad out of this with a little bit of red onion. It's good all the different ways.I need a really great recipe for chicken breasts, nothing to hard, and nothing weird please...it has to please

CHICKEN BASIL


Serves 4





4 skinless chicken breasts (of approx. equal size)


4 slices white bread


3 rashers middle bacon


Fresh basil





Pre-heat oven to 180掳c


Cut crusts off bread and blend in a blender to make breadcrumbs. (It is not advised to used packaged breadcrumbs for this recipe as they are too dry) Place in a bowl


Chop the bacon really fine and add to the breadcrumbs. Finely chop the basil and also add to the breadcrumbs. Combine well.





Place chicken breasts in a slightly greased oven dish and top with the mixture.


Place in the oven with a bowl of water underneath the tray of chicken. This will help keep the chicken moist and succulent. (make sure the bowl is ovenproof)


Bake for about 20-30 minutes depending on the size of the chicken breasts.


Serve with Potato Bake (see recipe below), steamed snow peas, broccoli and honey sesame carrots.


Steam the snow peas for about 2 minutes and the broccoli for 3 at the most. This will ensure that they stay green and crunchy., retaining their nutrients.


I would recommend a nice crisp Sauvignon Blanc with this dish.








POTATO BAKE





5 large potatoes peeled and thinly sliced


1 large onion peeled and thinly sliced into rings


Salt and pepper


Cream


Butter


Sharp cheddar cheese, grated or shredded (depending on what you call it!!!)





Lightly grease the bottom of a medium oven dish. Place a layer of potato in the bottom of the dish. Then sprinkle some of the onion rings over the top of the first layer of potato. Season with a little salt and pepper. Repeat these layers until all the ingredients have been used finishing with a layer of potato, making sure no onion is visible.





Randomly dollop bits of butter over the surface and drizzle with a little cream. Sprinkle the cheese over the entire surface and bake in a moderately hot oven for approximately 45 minutes or until potatoes are soft when tested with a knife.





HONEY SESAME CARROTS





Baby or Dutch carrots peeled and cut julienne style (matchsticks in laymen鈥檚!!)


Honey


Sesame seeds





Steam carrots for about 2 minutes then toss in a warm pan with a little olive oil. Add the honey and allow this to melt and heat through. Sprinkle over the sesame seeds and serve immediately.
How about chicken Kiev?





Take a chicken breast, you can either use a mallet and pound it flat, or you can thinly slice the breast.





lay out the now flattened breast, put in the middle, some butter, onions, salt, and fresh grounded peppers. Roll the breast up, tie with a string. Dip the roll in some egg and batter; cook it in some hot oil.





It takes some prep work, but mmmm, chicken kiev

Just crumb and fry them I dont know anyone that doesnt like them
If you want simple, fast prep time and a pleaser, try potato chip chicken.........crush up a lg bag of plain chips (leave in bag), dip breasts in melted butter or margarine, drop into bag, shake to coat, place on a rack (pan underneath) and bake at 350 for 1 hour. Chicken is golden brown, very moist and even adults love it.


Or you can stuff the breasts with a mixture of bread crumbs (fresh), egg, salt %26amp; pepper, finely shredded swiss cheese. Stuff under skin....between skin and meat. Brush the breasts with melted butter and bake at 350 for 1 hour, 15 minutes before time is up, drizzle honey on top, return and finish baking........or for an even crisper skin drizzle honey after they are cooked, and let sit 5 minutes. Either way it is a nice dish.
