Chicken Breast - what can I make with them?

[Overseasmom100]

So fed up with curry and roast dinner. Have limited store cupboard bits in...any advice or inspiration would be much appreciated!

Chicken chasseur
Coq au vin
Spanish chicken with chorizo and butter beans
Chicken risotto
Chicken Kiev
Homemade chicken nuggets/goujons

Chicken carbonara

Chicken Kiev?

Chicken stuffed with cheese and wrapped in bacon.

Chicken pie.

Not sure what you have store wise so trying to think of different options.

cut them in half so they open like a book, shove in some cheese

roll back up, and wrap with ham/bacon

concoct some sort of tomato-ish sauce in a dish big enough for the chicken, with ketchup, BBQ sauce, a splash of milk, pesto ...or a stir through pasta sauce or passata

roll chicken in sauce so it's covered and then shove it in a hot oven for about 40 minutes, try to remember to turn over the chicken about half way through so it's not flabby underneath

Serve with mash.....Hunter's Chicken!

Out other favourite is to slice them right though in half to give two thinner portions, bash them out a bit with a heavy pan or meat mallet, daub on mayo/BBQ/ketchup/mild mustard and press into bread crumbs

you can add herbs or parmesan to the crumbs if you like

then to cook you can do them in the oven on a tray or I prefer to fry them

Beat them really thin, flour, egg and then breadcrumb and pan-fry.

Slit a hole in the side, stuff with mozzarella and wrap in streaky bacon and bake.

Cover in bbq sauce, cook slowly and shred. Put in buns with lettuce and pickles.

Whizz them up in a food processor with salt, pepper, smoked paprika and shape into chicken nuggets, dip into a light batter and fry. Homemade McDonald’s nuggets!

To add to suggestions above -
Stir fry
Sweet n sour chicken (Chinese style)
Lemon honey chicken

I also like to cut into small pieces, bake in a tray with chopped onions and red pepper, drizzled with some olive oil (or whatever oil) honey and some soy sauce. Then I stuff into pitta breads with salad and grated cheese. Bit like a kebab I suppose but I call it chicken pittas.

Home made goujons popular in this house with a nice salad/wedges etc

If you’ve any cream cheese in the house check out the Philadelphia website as some nice pasta recipes with limited ingredients.

Chicken fried rice

• Cut into strips and use in a stir fry
• cut into larger strips, coat in breadcrumbs/herbs for chicken goujons
• Stuff with chorizo/ham/or just cheese, crumb and bake
• chicken cacciatore

Brilliant thanks some great ideas here!

Cook and shred, then make chicken and stuffing pasta 😋. (add mayo, tomatoes, raw onions, seasoning). Eat cold.

I made a lovely chicken and pepper pasta bake last week , very simple and all in one pot . All you need is dry pasta , tinned tomatoes, an onion , a pepper chicken stock ,milk , garlic and oregano ( I used dry) .

Chicken nuggets . Make nugget sizes . Coat in egg, then plain flour, then Greek yogurt, then bread crumbs . Either fry in hot oil or bake in oven for about 40-45 minutes
Stuffed chicken. Slice chicken in half. In a bowl mix philli cheese , diced bacon, finely diced mushrooms and garlic. Stuff the chicken with cheese. Coat chicken in egg and then coat with breadcrumbs. In the breadcrumbs add some parmi cheese. Cook in oven for 45 minutes around the 180 mark.
Stir through chicken pasta. Any tomato paste and any veggies . Mix through the pasta once cooked .

Spanish (ish) chicken made with onions and peppers, passata, cooked red lentils, garlic, thyme and smoked paprika. It's good with rice or a baked potato.
Poach the chicken and make into a chicken and bacon or ham pie (use poaching milk to. Make the sauce tasty). It can be potato or pastry topped. Likewise chicken and sweet corn or chicken and leek.

Extra lazy chicken nuggets or goujons.
Chunks or long strips
Roll in bowl of mayonnaise
Roll in bowl of seasoned breadcrumbs
On rack over baking tray
190C for 20-25mins till golden and cooked through
Serve with wedges (same temp about 10mins longer so get them in before) & salad or veg

Season with lots of salt and pepper and herbs if you have any. Serve with pesto, tomatoes and roasted peppers.

Mix peanut butter, lime juice and chillies together to a paste and cook on chicken breasts
