Answer 1

CHICKEN & SAUSAGE STEW

3 red bell peppers, roasted, skins and seeds removed
1 lb. boneless chicken thighs or breasts
½ lb. sweet Italian sausage
Salt and pepper to taste
Olive oil, as needed
1 medium-large onion, chopped
5 cloves of garlic, chopped
3 cups chicken broth
2 batches of baby spinach
Chopped parsley to taste

Roast the peppers by placing them in a pre-heated broiler, or on top of a gas stove burner until they are charred. Place them in a covered container to steep and cool. Remove the skins and seeds, cut them into strips and set aside.
Cut the chicken and sausage into bite size pieces and season with salt and pepper. Heat the oil in a large Dutch oven until it just starts to smoke. Add the chicken and sausage and remove as soon as they are browned. Add the onion and more oil if necessary and cook. Add more salt and pepper. When the onion has started to soften add the roasted peppers and then the garlic. Cook for a few minutes more. Deglaze the pot with the chicken stock, scraping up the browned bits on the bottom. Return the chicken and sausage to the pot, bring to a boil and then simmer uncovered for a few minutes. Begin adding the spinach, in batches if necessary, until it wilts and is completely incorporated. Taste and adjust seasoning, finish with fresh parsley and serve.

Answer 2

That is a lot of chicken and unless it is for one dish divide it up into meal size portions and flavour differently.
Here are a couple of ideas.
Cheesy Chicken Pasta.
Chicken.
Poach your chicken pieces in some stock and set aside, until cool enough to handle, and de-bone.
Pasta.
Place in salted boiling water and cook until you get the degree of cooking you like.
Penne or Elbows will do very well here.
Sauce.
Make a normal white sauce and add some grated tasty cheese, remove from heat and stir until it is smooth.

Combine everything and place in an oven proof dish, sprinkle with more cheese and bake until it is bubbling and the cheese has melted and started to brown.

Chicken Pie (Lazy Man Version)
Buy 1 kg at the Supermarket Deli bar Shredded Chicken
Slice a large onion into rings or crescents and soften in oil in a frypan.
Sift over some plain white flour and stir over med/low heat for a couple of minutes and stir in some milk until you have a fairly thick sauce.
Add shredded chicken and combine. Turn off heat and let the sauce cool and the chicken warm.
In the mean time line a greased pie dish with a sheet of puff pastry.
Individual oval pie dishes could be used if you have 4 or more.
Once the chicken mix has cooled 2/3 rds fill the pie dishes.
Cover with another piece of pastry trim edges and brush with milk. Spear the top with the tip of a knife to create steam vent.
Place in a preheated oven 160C for 30-40 minutes until the tops are browned nicely.
Remove and place on a wire rack to cool.

A teaspoon of curry powder added with the flour would be great.

Answer 3

You could put BBQ sauce on them and bake them.

chicken and gravy over biscuits or rice or noodles or toast or waffles,

chicken and spaghetti
chicken chili also called white chili
