Nice saturday night meal using chicken breasts

[Cat98]

I have some chicken breasts that were on offer in the fridge at the moment! On Saturday nights we usually have a nicer meal than the general midweek fayre. Nice curries/steak etc.
Please share your best chicken breast recipe! Open to any ideas :)

Thank you

As it happens, tonight I'm making a simple Thai Green Chicken Curry. A few tablespoons of Thai Green Curry Paste heated with coconut milk and poach the chicken pieces with some vegetables (green peppers, sugar snaps) until tender. Lovely

This chicken and bacon casserole is a favourite in our house

Or if you want something quick, marinade chunks of chicken in this and serve with pittas, chopped peppers and yoghurt

I've had a request this week for DS1's favourite Saturday night dinner - chicken breasts stuffed with Wensleydale cheese and wrapped in Parma ham/prosciutto. We serve with a garlic, cream and white wine sauce (then I can drink the rest of the bottle ) baby new potatoes and green beans.

Chicken fajitas

Ah! I came in to say fajitas but I see scarlett beat me to it. Nice interactive meal imo. :-)

Stuffed chicken breast. Really simple.

Follow the instruction here, but you can vary the ingredients:

I use toothpicks help to keep things together.

There are plenty of variations of you search on bbc good food. The original recipe I had used mozzarella, seasoned with thyme, and wrapped in streaky bacon. Or use a more flavourful melting cheese like strong cheddar. For a lower fat version use low-fat philly with herbs and garlic and wrap in bresaola or any other deli meat you fancy... The possibilities are endless and I always think it's a bit special.

Thank you- all sounds lovely!
I think we'll try the chicken and bacon casserole this time. But the rest will be bookmarked for the next time!

Ooh x posted - or the stuffed chicken breasts! Can't decide...

mustard chicken

We copy one of the M&S 2 for £10 dishes. Pat the breasts dry with kitchen roll, spread over a little cream cheese then sprinkle some pepper and grated parmesan onto that. Put into a small roasting dish with some lardons and cherry tomatoes (usually allow 3-5 tomatoes per breast); cook for about 30 mins at 180 in a fan oven.

We like fajitas when everyone is home too.

The chicken and bacon casserole sounds yummy, might have to try that one.

Have completely about-turned and we're having fajitas! But have bookmarked the other ideas for the next time chicken breasts are on offer, thanks!

Chicken Katsu curry next time- it's great

This is gorgeous and very easy. From Jamie Oliver Ministry of Food.
