I've got loads of chicken breast at home.

I know it's not the most complicated thing in the world, but I would burn baked beans in a microwave.

What do you guys do to make chicken interesting?
 
Poach it in chicken stock, allow it to cool, shred it and use it in everything from a risotto to a soup.

Hollow out a small pocket, stuff it with something tasty (sundried tomato paste, tapenade, pesto, cheese, etc), and roll it up in a slice of pancetta or parma ham and pan fry it.

Make a paste out of a decent chicken stock cube (Kallo are good) and olive oil, rub this into the skin of your chicken breast, allow to penetrate for a bit and then pan fry.

Marinade the chicken in a mixture of Rose Harissa, olive oil and lime juice and then lightly pan fry and serve with couscous.

Flatten a breast between two pieces of clingfilm, breadcrumb it (flour, beaten egg, seasoned breadcrumbs) and pan fry that for Chicken Milanese.

Hollow out a pocket, stuff that with garlic butter, close it up, breadcrumb the breast and bake in the oven for a fantastic home-made Chicken Kiev.

The possibilities are endless.
 
I like to make grilled escalopes, marinaded with various things.

For the chicken escalopes, sandwich each chicken breast between two sheets of cling film. Using a rolling pin, flatten each chicken breast until it has widened and become about 5mm thick.

For easy marinades just use yoghurt mixed with curry powder and a bit of lemon juice, or yoghurt with honey and paprika. Be creative and add things you like

Let the meat marinade for at least 30min.

Grill for 5 min per side on medium heat

Great for bbq
 
I like spicy chicken so I might just marinade in some dave sauce and whatever other hot stuff I have lying around.

I'm going to give some of this stuff a go and put it on top of some instant noodles :)
 
Or chop it into bits, fry it off in a big pot.

Remove the chicken then put in onion, garlic, chilli (to taste), turmeric and any other spice you can find, once the onion has softened throw the chicken back in.

You can leave it at that or add tinned tomatoes and tomato puree for a more rogan josh taste, coconut milk if you want too.

Boil till it looks like your favourite curry!
 
Chicken breast, pound till 1cm thin, ,flour, egg wash then coat in breadcrumbs, (or buy a chicken escalope)

lightly pan fry in butter, place in oven dish, sprinkle on mozzarella, then tomato sauce you would use for pasta, another layer of mozzarella, then Parmesan cheese.

bake 20 mins gas mark six

serve with salad.
 
  1. Slice breast along the edge without going all of the way through
  2. Stuff breast with with ricotta and freshly chopped sage
  3. Season breast
  4. Wrap in parma ham or bacon
  5. >>Optional<< wrap in clingfilm and rest in fridge for ~1hr

  7. Plonk some thyme sprigs on top

Either have it with chips or boiled/roast veg.
