I always have chicken fajita or curries. I always fancy a casserole but chicken is tasteless in my opinion and i would rather have lamb or beef.

So what do you do with a chicken breast?

Slice into goujons, dip in water, milk or beaten egg then coat in a mixture of smash flakes, chinese 5 spice, salt and black pepper. Oven bake for about 15-20 mins. although I normally use thigh tbh

I got a nice one from a Jamie Oliver recipe card in Sainsburys years ago. I haven't made it for ages because DH is a bit meh about chicken but the kids used to love it (they've all gone now)

Per person:

1 chicken breast (pref skin on but if not you can keep moist with the bacon on top of it)
handful of cherry tomatoes
3 rashers of streaky bacon
1 clove garlic, chopped
olive oil

arrange in a lasagne type dish with tomatoes between the chicken breasts & bacon coiled over either the tomatoes or the chicken
sprinkle with chopped garlic
drizzle with olive oil
bake for about 45 minutes

It's lush & you end up with bacon fatty, tomatoey, olive oily juice & crunchy bits of garlic

This one I haven't tried yet (although I have done a very similar one from the same website, but with prawns, which was scrummy):

Cut a pocket in it and stuff it with couscous, feta, sun dried tomatoes and oregano.

Fry in butter, add a splash of liquid (wine sherry or squeeze of orange) add Creme fraiche. Voila- Creamy chicken, great with spuds and spinach
Can add any other flavours, tarragon, dijon, bit of a stock cube

Cut a pocket in it, stuff it with buffalo mozzarella. Lay fresh rosemary on top and wrap it all in Parma ham. Bake for 20-25 mins.

Slashed, rubbed with tomato puree, slices of cheese, parmesan or cheddar, wrapped in bacon. Serve with cherry tomatoes roasted with sliced garlic, olive oil and salt, boiled potatoes tossed with mayonnaise and parsley.
