Help! I need a simple, juicy chicken dish made with skinless breasted chicken. Any ideas?

Well, what other ingredients do you have on hand?

You could make pasta primavera. Make pasta (angel hair is nice, but any shape will do). Cut the breasts in bite-sized pieces and saute in a mix of olive oil and butter until just tender. Prepare a mix of vegetables that you have on hand (diced onions, red bell pepper, asparagus, zucchini, mushrooms, broccoli, tomatoes, some fresh basil would be wonderful, whatever). Saute the vegetables until just tender. Return the chicken to the pan. Season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle the chicken and vegetables with about a tablespoon of flour. Add half and half and stir until thickened. Add grated Parmesan cheese. Serve over the pasta.

Wow sounds great but I’m missing zucchini to broccoli. Woudl it be ok with just the rest?

I don’t have the site bookmarked on this computer, but you can find a ton if you g**gle “recipes with found ingredients”. Basically, you make up a list of the things you have on hand or feel like using, and the site (sites—there are tons of them around) gives you a choice of recipes that use those ingredients.

I’ve found some very good ideas this way.

@CyanoticWasp I just tried your search ideas and I’m coming up empty. I can’t seem to find the link. If you ever find it, let me know. It sounds very promising for any future plans.
Thanks.

@Pandora Marinlife’s recipe is very forgiving – you can use whatever veggies you have on hand. Throw in some frozen peas toward the end if you’ve got them too.

Got a can of condensed cream of mushroom soup? Brown the chicken breasts in a skillet and then add the mushroom soup, full strength, and simmer about 10 min. on each side. Serve with the soup as a sauce. We usually have this with plain rice. For a vegetable, green beans go well.

Ohhh. All sound good. I’ll probably try Jeruba for now since it will probably be the quickest.
@janbb and @marinelife I will give marinelife recipe another day. Sounds really good. I love zucchini and never have many ways to introduce them with a meal. I can see where it would work.
Let you all know how it was. :)

I just tried again, using the term “recipes from found ingredients” (without the quotes) and got a pageful… and another 6 million after that.

Rub the chicken in some taco seasoning. Put salsa and cheese on top and bake.

marinate ,and cook in italin dressing at 350 in oven

Dip in olive oil and then Italian seasoned breadcrumbs. Bake at 350 for 25–30 minutes. Moist and easy.

@CyanoticWasp I found this link
Is this what your were talking about?
@chels @oreo45 @janbb All sound great.
@janbb I think I will try that the next time I make pasta.

Yes. Just like that. You enter what you “have to have”, what you “cannot have” and anything optional you have around that you “can have” and let it find what’s out there.

@CyanoticWasp Thanks. =D I’m going to add that to my favorites. I easily get bored with the recipes I know and hate scanning through a bunch of recipes to find out I don’t have most of the ingredients required. This will come in very handy.
Lots of good cooks in here. I should go eat at their homes. :))

@dealrrr Wow, they got some delicious recipes there. Thanks. Another to add to my favorites.

Just put a slice of onion on each breast followed by either a slice of polish sausage or a strip of bacon. Bake. Very good and easy.

Another easy one is to bake the breasts. Place a breast on each plate in a bed of yellow rice, cover with parsley and basil and top with roasted sesame seeds.

I am late with this but I will answer anyhow, I guess this is chicken stew.

Cut chicken into bite size pieces, saute in olive oil with garlic, add onions, chilis, salt, pepper. When it is brown, chuck in a container of chicken broth, I always buy the big container because it is cheaper, what you don’t use put into zip lock bags or plastic containers and freeze. I do in one cup lots.

Anyhow, then you empty the vegs out of your frig. I always like some rutabaga, pumpkin cubes (I buy the whole fresh one of both and freeze in bite size pieces then it is always ready) carrots, tomatoes, shredded cabbage, peas, green beans, honestly I put in whatever I have that is not fresh enough to eat raw. If you eat carbs, potato or sweet potato is lovely too.

I usually throw in a half cup of red lentils, mostly for thickening purposes because I don’t like to use flour. Sometimes I add brown lentils instead, they don’t thicken but add texture and flavor.

I like some sliced black olives in it too, they taste nice and look so pretty.

For flavor I give it a hit of kepjak mantis and some seracha.

Cook it until everything is tender and then sit down to a feast. Again if you eat carbs, have some crusty bread or serve over rice.

I always make extra and then the next day I add some of those broad egg noodles (gotta have carbs sometimes) and have it a second time. I just use ½ of a breast, it is a pauper’s delight and tasty too.

I found this Honey Mustard Chicken recipe that called for a whole chicken, but I made it with split chicken breasts instead and it came out amazing! It has curry in it. And some people think that just because it has curry in it it’s supposed to be spicy. Well… it’s not. Curry is only spicy when you add cayenne pepper to it… which you can do to this recipe. If you do, only had a teaspoon or a little less depending on your taste buds.

Ingredients:
3 large chicken breasts, or six split breasts.
½ cup butter
½ cup honey
¼ cup Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon curry powder
½ teaspoon salt

Directions:
Place chicken in a baking dish (9×13 glass dish is fine. Make sure it’s at least 2 or 3 inches deep). In saucepan, melt butter; stir in remaining ingredients and heat through. Pour glaze over chicken. Bake at 350 degrees F for a half hour or 45 minutes or until chicken is golden brown. Spoon sauce over chicken frequently while baking.

This recipe keeps the chicken really moist and tender since it’s basically sitting in a pool of butter and honey the whole time. It’s sooooo good!
