Question

rice, boneless skinless chicken breast. i also have vegetables and many different spices and sauces....but i want to know a good way to prepare it

i have tomatoes...brocolli, red peppers and red onions.

Answer 1

A healthy quick dish I like is:

The amounts are approximate, as I usually eye-ball as I go.

Chicken Bruschetta

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Zesty Italian dressing
4 Roma Tomatoes, seeded and diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
fresh basil (or spinach) leaves, chopped/torn (about 1-2 cups)
mozzarella cheese, cubed
1/4 - 1/2 cup red onion, diced

Marinate chicken breasts in Italian dressing for about 3 hours in the fridge.

Mix tomatoes, garlic, basil or spinach, red onions, mozzarella, and Italian dressing.

On an indoor or outdoor grill, grill chicken breasts 4-5 minutes on each side, or until done. Slice chicken breasts and top with tomato mixture.

Stir a little extra of the tomato mixture into or over the rice & serve with steamed/buttered brocolli -- or Fetuccinne Alfredo/ pasta of choice. If you have enough fresh basil and pine nuts, make pesto and serve the pesto over the rice or pasta.

Answer 2

Here's a recipe that I came up with and found to be absolutely delicious. Dice the chicken into pieces roughly 1/2" to 3/4" cubed and cook in a sauce of honey, minced or powdered garlic, and teriyaki sauce (use just enough so that when the sauce is boiling the bubbles completely cover the chicken. In a separate pan, dice and fry up the veggies (I have used things like broccoli, sugar snap pea pods, or an "oriental veggie mix") with soy sauce and olive oil. (And garlic, if you want. I've done with or without) Stir both the chicken and the veggies regularly. Once both are started, cook rice to serve over (I think brown rice tastes better, but white works too). When both the chicken and the veggies are done, drain the liquid from both into the same saucepan and add some flour or corn starch to thicken the sauce, but taste it first, and if you want add some seasoning or some additional soy sauce. I like to put the chicken on top of the veggies and rice, but leave the sauce on the side because my wife doesn't always want it. I find that the sweetness f the chicken compliments the taste of the soy sauce in the veggies well. Also, I have not done so yet, but I have been considering adding some seasonings to the rice while it cooks, maybe some saffron or something. If you try that, please let me know how well it works.

Answer 3

I would make it with basil cream and mushroom sauce.
Take 1/2 can cream of mushroom soup,(all if you have 4 chickenbreasts)
2 chicken breasts
6-8 oz sliced mushrooms.
1/2 cup white wine, (or chicken broth)
1 bay leaf
1 tsp dried basil or 1 tbs fresh
pepper
red pepper
1/2 small onion
salt to taste

Saute chicken in a little olive oil, about 5 minutes
Take out of pan, add chopped onions, cook 2-3 mins.
Add sliced mushrooms. cook 2-3 mins more.
Add basil, salt, pepper, dried red papper, bay leaf, cook 1 min
Add soup and wine or broth.
cook about five min. Taste, adding soy sauce or worcestershire,
or any spices you think you;d like.
Add chicken back into pan, and cook about 10
or 15 minutes more.
Serve over white rice.

You can simply add cream later, if you don;t like the campbells standby, but i have to admit i like it.
