I want to cook something very simple with chicken which is not fried chicken. Any ideas?

Question

I'm a lousy cook...so I don't generally make sauces - but simple sauces will do.

Answer 1

2 chicken breasts
1/2 cup of mayonaise
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
about 1/2 cup of seasoned bread crumbs

Preheat the oven to 425F
Mix the mayonaise and cheese together in a bowl
Put the chicken breasts on a baking tray, non stick is preferable or lightly grease it if it isn't
Spread the mayonaise/cheese mixture on the chicken breasts
Sprinkle the bread crumbs on the top
Cook for approx 20 mins or until the chicken is cooked

Serve with a side salad or some vegetables

Answer 2

super easy! super yummy!

1 (4 to 5 pound) free-range chicken
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 lemon, halved
1 head garlic, halved
1/4 bunch each fresh rosemary, thyme, and parsley
1/4 cup olive oil
11/2 pounds red new potatoes


Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Rinse the chicken with cool water, inside and out, then pat it dry with paper towels. Season the cavity with salt and pepper, and then stuff the lemon, garlic, and herbs inside. Place the chicken, breast-side up, in a roasting pan. Tie the legs of the chicken together with kitchen twine to help hold its shape. Toss the potatoes around the chicken. Season the whole thing with a fair amount of salt and pepper and drizzle with olive oil. Roast the chicken and potatoes for 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Don't forget to baste the chicken with the drippings and rotate the pan every 20 minutes or so to insure a golden crispy skin. The chicken is done when an instant-read thermometer says 165 degrees F when inserted into the thickest part of the thigh (the legs of the chicken should wiggle easily from the sockets too.) Remove the chicken to a platter and let stand for 10 minutes, so the juices settle back into the meat before carving. Serve with the roasted potatoes on the side.

Here is an easy one. Get a bottle of Balsamic Vinegar Dressing. Put some chicken fillets into a baking dish, put the Balsamic Vinegar over the chicken. Bake in oven on 375 degrees for 25-30 minutes. It is excellent with some rice and brocolli. Easy easy dinner and very delicious.

Answer 4

Hi
You can put the chicken pieces in a baking dish and cover with undiluted cream of chicken soup. Cover with foil and bake at 350 for about an hour, or until done.

You can also do the same thing with picante sauce, cover and cook for about an hour, or until done.

I serve with rice, and a green vegetable. Very easy and tastes good, too.

Chicken Casserole
1 whole chicken and 2-3 leg quarters or can use 10 lb. bag of leg quarters

Answer 6

Combine 2 Tbsp. chopped herbs with 1/2 cup EVOO-rub about half all over a whole chicken. Place in preheated 425F oven (in pan of course) breast side up for 20 minutes, then decrease heat to 300F and roast another 30-45 minutes depending on size until 165F on meat thermometer. Baste with remaining oil/herb mixture occasionally.
This is really good with some potatoes, carrots and onions cut up and put in pan around bird when you decrease the temperature. I usually use rosemary, thyme, garlic and basil in the oil.

Answer 8

The "Oven Fried Chicken" recipe on the Bisquik box is quite good and very simple. But no sauce is made with it.

Answer 9

chopped green onions (optional)
sour cream (optional)
salsa (etc.) (optional)

Thoroughly mix green chili enchilada sauce, soup, and sour cream in a LARGE bowl.
