My husband is working today so I get to make dinner. I'm thawing chicken breasts and I'm just not feeling creative. We also have a 7 year old who isn't picky. Got any good, easy chicken recipes to share? Thank you!

Here's a cracker.

Ingredients
chicken breasts
streaky bacon
feta cheese
fresh coriander leaves
paprika
little olive oil

Method

Open the chicken breasts and stuff with chunks of feta cheese mixed with fresh coriander leaves roughly torn and sprinkle the filling with paprika.

Stretch the bacon by running the back of a knife over it then wrap around the chicken breasts like a lattice until the chicken is completely wrapped.

Fry in the olive oil on both sides for two or three minutes each side.

Place in hot oven at 180deg C for 20 - 30 minutes until the bacon is crispy and the chicken is cooked.

Serve with boiled new potatoes and melted butter and green vegetables (peas, green beans).

When you cut into the chicken the flavoured and melted feta cheese runs out.

Delicious.

I love to cook chicken breasts in a skillet (I usually do not use oil). I then remove the chickens and put in a a can of cream of mushroom soup with a little bit of milk. Next, I add the chicken back and let it simmer together. I make mashed potatoes (or use instant) and use the sauce as gravy.

You can also do this in the oven

I just cut the chicken breasts into strips or nuggets and coat them with store bought chicken coating.

I bake them for 20 mins at the recommended temperature. At the same time I cook rice. Then I cook some frozen veggies in the microwave in the last 5 mins.

We also use ketchup or salad dressing to dip the chicken in.

This is a quick supper that takes less than 30 mins to prepare and cook.
