Hows this for simple:
Take a chicken breast 8oz or so, poach it in a simmering pan of light veg stock- or water, for 6/7 minutes.
Heat a frying pan, add olive oil and transfer the drained and dried chicken breast to the pan. Brown the chicken up, adding some butter towards the end of cooking and baste the chicken with it to achieve a really good colour.
Result, a perfectly cooked and moist piece of chicken. Season and serve with whatever you want. Goes well with a nice buttery mash.Perfect!

Roasted Balsamic-Glazed Chicken
This chicken gets very dark when roasting. If you're concerned about burning, tent with foil, however be sure to remove it for the last 15 minutes of cooking.
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons herbes de Provence
1 medium lemon, juiced and halves reserved
1 (5 to 6-pound) roasting chicken
4 sprigs rosemary
8 cloves garlic
1 thinly-sliced white onion
4 fennel bulbs
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Combine the vinegar, oil, salt, pepper, herbes de Provence, and lemon juice in a bowl, whisking until emulsified.
Pour over the chicken, taking care to completely coat it. Insert the reserved squeezed lemons, plus the rosemary and garlic into the cavity. Layer the onions in a roasting pan and place the chicken on top. Slice the fennel in half lengthwise and surround the chicken with it, cut side down.
Put the chicken in the oven and immediately reduce the temperature to 250 degrees F and roast for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, basting occasionally
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 2 hours
Yield: 4 to 6 servings

Beer Can Chicken
1 (3 1/2 lb) chickens
vegetable oil, to coat chicken before applying dry rub
FOR THE MARINADE
1 (12 ounce) can dark beer
1/3 cup Dijon mustard
1/3 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 medium onion, chopped fine
4 cloves garlic, crushed
1 teaspoon Tabasco sauce
1 teaspoon coarse salt
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
FOR THE DRY RUB
2 teaspoons paprika
2 teaspoons dry mustard
2 teaspoons coarse salt
1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon celery seeds
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
FOR THE BARBECUE
2 cups wood chips, preferably chunks,soaked 1 hour in
water or beer, then drained
Make the marinade by combining all marinade ingredients: whisk well to mix.
Remove and discard any giblets and fat just inside the body and neck cavities.
Rinse the chicken inside and out under cold running water, then drain and blot dry inside and out with a paper towel.
Place chicken with the marinade inside a large resealable plastic freezer bag and marinate in the refrigerator at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, turning the bird several times to marinate evenly.
Make the rub by combining all rub ingredients; set aside.
Open the beer can and pour half the beer over the soaking wood chips.
Remove the chicken from the bag with the marinade.
DISCARD marinade.
Sprinkle 1 teaspoons of the dry rub inside the neck cavity of the bird.
Drizzle oil over the outside of the bird and rub or brush dry rub all over the skin.
Spoon the remaining dry rub into the half-filled can of beer (beer may foam, which is normal).
Using a church key can opener, make 2 additional holes in the top of the can.
Hold the bird upright, with the opening of the body cavity at the bottom, and lower it onto the beer can so the can fits into the body cavity.
Pull the legs forward to form a tripod, so the bird stands upright (the rear leg of the tripod is the beer can).
Tuck the tips of the wings behind the chicken’s back.
Light the gas barbecue and, using an oven thermometer inside the closed grill, heat to 350°F When warmed, turn off one of the burners and stand the chicken upright on the can over the NON-LIT burner.
Place oven thermometer beside the chicken, not above the direct heat.
Wrap the soaked wood chips loosely in foil, punching a few holes in the foil to allow smoke to escape, and place foil pouch directly over the LIT burner.
Reduce heat, if necessary, to maintain interior temperature at 350°F Close lid.
Cook until chicken skin is dark golden brown and the meat is cooked through, about 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
Use an instant reading meat thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the thigh, not touching bone; chicken is done when the meat thermometer is 180°F If chicken skin starts to brown too much, loosely tent the bird with aluminum foil.
When done, remove bird and let rest, standing on a platter at room temperature, about 5 minutes.
Lift chicken off the can, taking care not to spill hot beer.
To serve, cut chicken in half or quarters.

BBQ chicken:
chicken thighs or drumsticks
bottle of bbq sauce
brown sugar (if you like)
salt & pepper
marinate the chicken in the bbq sauce (add s&p and/or brown sugar for taste)for at least 30 mins
bake on a broiling pan (or whatever you have) at 400 for about 35-40 mins until done
(Note: brown sugar will give a nice "burnt" or "grilled" crust)
Serve with corn on the cob, carrots, baked beans, salad, whatever you like... Cornbread also goes well with this meal...

Try Campbell's soup web site. Lots of chicken recipes, and soup is the sauce. Easy, cheap, and quick.
They have been showing a commercial with cheesy rice and chicken. It looked good.
I bought chicken today at the grocery, and I am going to fry it, and make mashed potaoes and gravy. Old recipe, but good.
Someday I will try chicken pot pie, homemade.
