I have a pack of chicken breasts, am about to pop to the shops and I KNOW my head will just go blank the moment I walk through the door and see the masses. Please take pity on me

I need some inspiration. Hit me with your best shot!

Bruschetta Chicken is really nice. Bake the seasoned chicken breasts for 10 minutes at 180c, then turn them over and top with a mixture of chopped tomatoes, fresh basil and shredded mozzarella that you have dressed lightly with olive oil, balsamic and a bit more seasoning. Return to the oven and bake for a further 10-15 minutes.

Hairy Dieters chicken tikka masala with brown rice and half a naan bread. Chicken been marinated since the receipe was re-read at 1 o'clock and I realised it needed to marinate.

we are having toad in the hole tonight

but if I had chicken breasts to use I'd probably do Hunters Chicken...slice it open like a book, wodge of cheese in and then wrap the whole lot up in streaky bacon or some other ham slicey thing. Then go through the fridge and use up any iffy bits of ketchup/chutney/ pesto/BBQ sauce/mustard ...mix that with a splash of honey and wine in a shallow dish big enough to hold the chicken. Turn the chicken over in the sauce so it is coated and then put it all in the oven for 30-40 minutes until done.

Or bashed chicken....slice the chicken and then bash it out a bit, daub it with mayo or sauce (anything sticky will do!) and then press into breadcrumbs mixed with herbs and a bit of finely grated parmesan (any cheese will do) and then you just fry it gently in a pan with butter.

Sausage casserole with rice for us.

For chicken breasts, do you have any leftovers to use up? Cheese to stuff them with, veg to make into a pie/casserole/risotto? Or you could cook them, leave to cool & have with mash, gravy & veg.

Crisps. Hopefully there's some prawn cocktail left, they're my favourite.

However, you have a pack of chicken breasts and you're heading to the shops! Grab your self a pack of 8 tortilla wraps, 2x bell peppers, an onion and some breadcrumbs if you don't have any knocking around at home.

Cut the chicken breast into strips, fry in whatever oil you have along with the chopped onion and thinly sliced bell peppers. Add whatever seasoning you like/have - bit of salt and pepper goes a long way. Run the chicken through the breadcrumbs and return to the pan until crispy and golden. Fill tortillas and enjoy the hell out of them! Most basic tortilla wraps/fajitas/burritos you'll ever have but surprisingly tasty even with that basic recipe. Sometimes we overcomplicate things :)
