Good light chicken dishes with common ingredients?

Question

I have chicken and lots of can goods and want to see if I can pull something together for dinner without having to stop at the store on my way home.

I am trying to eat light and do have whole grain pasta, frozen veggies, fresh salad greens and such around the house as well as most common spices.

Do any good recipes come to mind? I havent found much online so I thought I'd ask you all! Thanks!

Chicken Ritz Recipe
I love this recipe because it's so easy to throw together and takes no time to serve. It's a half hour in the oven and it's ready. It can be prepared a day ahead of time for those busy people, just keep it refrigerated. It's served best with cranberry sauce to the side or just spread on top of it after its cooked..it's yummy!!
2 lbs boneless chicken breasts (as much as you'd like to prepare)
1/2 cup butter, melted (I use one stick for about 4 chicken breasts)
2 packages of ground-up Ritz crackers
4 servings

1. Cut off all unecessary fat from chicken breasts.
2. If breasts are thick, cut in half so you butterfly them.
3. Pound down with a mallet so they're not too thick, but not paper thin either.
4. Dip the breasts in your melted butter, both sides.
5. Dip the buttery breasts into the ritz cracker crumbs, on both sides and press firmly so the crumbs really stick to it.
6. Place on a cookie sheet in oven set at 350* for 15 minutes on both sides.

I basically bought Rachel Ray's "365 no repeats" cookbook. Have made 5 foodstuff with it so a techniques, with 4 a million/2 successes. The a million/2 is a meal we cherished, yet that tasted basically ok. something have been incredible. And each little thing is a 30-minute meal, with very difficulty-loose aspects.

Answer 4

Take a look at Cooking Light's website. The dishes are healthy, and the ingredients are usually canned goods that you have in your pantry. They have plenty of chicken dishes.

Answer 5

Good lemon chicken with cutlets and fresh squeezed lemon and parsley.

Or just fry up some cutlets, and your favorite can of soup and some veggies, cover and simmer for about 20 minutes, mmm, mmm good.

Answer 6

Grill boneless skinless chicken breasts. Top with warmed barbecue sauce, crumbled bacon, chopped green onions, diced tomatos, and shredded cheddar cheese. Yum (looks pretty too).

Answer 7

you can marinade the chicken with italian dressing for 30 min, and just grilled, that with a green salad and some garlic bread, it's great
