I need something fairly simple and kid-friendly.
Thanks in advance. |

- marinate in italian dressing, bake and serve with veggies they love or pasta.
- boil in chicken stock, shred and make chicken quesadillas or enchiladas - chicken parm here are a bunch of recipes: http://busycooks.about.com/od/chickenrecipes/a/quickchicken.htm |
| Chicken schnizel / escalope. Yummy. Favourite with kids (mine). |
| Nothing. |
Thanks; I'm giving the Italian dressing method a try. How long do you bake for, and at what temp? I'm thinking 350 for a half-hour; is that about right? |
| Slice (easier when partially frozen), brown, and simmer in Indian curry sauce (TJ's). Serve with basmati rice. |

I will throw them in a ziplock in the fridge with fat-free red wine vinegar salad dressing. Then broil them under the broiler (set on high) for about 7 or 8 minutes a side and they come out pretty juicy (check at 6 or 7 minutes and if it looks nicely browned then flip them). Put aluminum foil under the chicken to make clean up easier. I have found that they often come out juicier when I broil them verses baking them.
Sometimes I just get the tenderloins and broil them and make fajitas -- just chop up tomato, lettuce, shredded cheese, etc. Youl could use the breasts also and just slice them, but the tenderloins fit perfectly in the fahitas. You can also slice them up thin and stir fry them with veggies and soy sauce, we use brocolli, red peppers, and onions. I'm sure allrecipes.com will have some specific recipes. |
| Chicken with peanuts: cube chicken breast and toss in a mixture of cornstarch and soy sauce (so it's like Elmer's glue); heat some oil on high in skillet and cook chicken; throw in some peanuts and cooked veggies of your choice - I like green beans. Done! |
| Marinate in Italian dressing then dip into bread crumbs, corn flake crumbs or anything like that you have, and bake. So yummy. |
| Cook them in a slow cooker with a jar of salsa. Shred or slice and let the kids make their own tacos or burritos. |

I slice lengthwise (so they're thinner), and brown them in butter and olive oil. Take the meat out, melt a little more butter in the chicken juices, saute mushrooms. Add cream, salt, and a dab of dijon mustard and simmer just for a minute. Put the meat back in the sauce to re-warm.
This can be served with pasta, but if I have the time, I prefer to serve it with wild rice. If I don't do the 45-minute rice, I can make this dish in under 20 minutes. Obviously not a recipe for weight watchers or the faint of heart.
