Answer 1

If you have a broiler, you can make a great steak by marinating it over night with salt, pepper onion, soy sauce, garlic and a light rub of coffee grounds--cover with beer, and broil topped with bacon fat or butter--delicious!

Answer 2

Oven Fried Chicken

Make three "dipping stations"

Season the chicken with all purpose seasoning.
(Use boneless skinless chicken breasts if possible)
Cover in first bowl which you have filled with flour & a little extra seasonings

Dip in second bowl which contains two eggs beaten.

Cover in third bowl which has bread crumbs in it!... Italian or whatever style you like.

Simply place it on a cookie sheet in the oven at 350degrees truning after 15 minutes for a total cooking time of 24-30 minutes.

This is easy and delicious! Serve it with mashed potatos and corn for a Southern Style. Make it into chicken parm by topping with hot marinara sauce, sprinkling cheese on top and serving with pasta. You could also make it a part of a healthy meal and serve it with rice pilaf and veggies. It's perfect any way you chose!

Crock pot

about 12 pieces of cut up chicken. i like dark meat so i usually pick up a package of thighs and a package of drumsticks, but any one will do.
flour, salt and pepper your pieces and shake off excess.
fry in oil until browned.
place in crockpot, 2 beef boullion cubes, 1/2 can chicken stock. Add browned chicken. Top with 1 can cream of mush. soup, 1can cream of celery soup, and 1 can cream of chicken soup. A couple splashes of worshtechire. One sliced onion and about 1/4 cup parmesean cheese. Cook on high 4 hrs. The chicken should be falling off the bone. So tender. Yum. I serve with mashed potatoes and use the soup/gravy for over the potatoes.

Answer 5

I am full of good recipes...Most of them I just throw stuff together that goes well and it is all just a big experiment anyway..
As far as chicken goes though, I do have some good recipes depending on what he likes.
If he likes pasta dishes:
1 jar of Alfredo sauce
1 jar of Marinara sauce
1 small package of diced ham
1 package of Provolone Cheese (sliced already)
1 package of Italian Cheese (the kind that is mixed up already and shredded)
How ever much chicken you want
1 box (12 oz) of pasta (rigatoni or large sea shells)
1 bundle of mushrooms, already sliced
garlic, onion and tomato to taste.

Cut up Chicken and sautee in pan with olive oil with the mushrooms. Add onion, garlic and diced ham until done.
Boil pasta shells until done.
Drain pasta and pour chicken mix into a 13x9 pan. Add pasta and jars of sauces. Mix together with half of the Italian cheese mix.
When mixed up lay Provolone cheese slices on top.
Bake @ 375 in oven until the cheese is golden brown. Dice tomatoes and sprinkle on top when you take it out of the oven.
