What are some quick and easy chicken breast meals?
Question by misshammy: What are some quick and easy chicken breast meals?
My fiancee and I are celebrating Valentine’s Day today, due to our schedules and I volunteered to make dinner. I’m going to “try” to make potato soup and a chicken breast meal. I have a meal I always make with chicken and want to try something NEW.
Any suggestions?
What do you think? Answer below!

I grew up with chicken and my fave is Sweet & Sour……my mom always made it for special occasions. (So this is my recipe…the others below are from the web site) I like chicken but my husband wants to eat lots of variety so we have it at least once a week……I like to go to the Taste of Home web site for idea’s….can always find a new way to cook chicken there. (As I mentioned below I have substituted chicken breast in this)

I tried this dish and it was delicious. I substituted the paprika and almonds with some shredded cheese and all of my family gobbled it up. Now it has become a regular dish for us. I have experimented with other hash-browns: cheesy hash-browns, southern style, diced, regular; and they all work out great.

This one is really good & easy!
Tastes a lot more fancy than it is to make 🙂
2 scallions, whites and greens, very finely chopped
1/2 cup dry white wine – eyeball it
4 tablespoons heavy cream
1 large egg
8 pieces chicken breast cutlets, 1 1/4 pounds
1/2 cup sliced almonds
1/2 cup plain bread crumbs
1/4 teaspoon grated nutmeg, eyeball it
Salt and pepper
1/4 cup light extra-virgin olive oil or vegetable oil, 4 turns of the pan
1 stick cold butter, cut into pieces
Directions
Combine the scallions, white wine and 2 tablespoons cream in a saucepan over medium heat and reduce to 1/4 cup liquid, 5 to 6 minutes.
While the sauce is working, beat egg and set chicken into it. Combine almonds, bread crumbs, nutmeg, salt and pepper, to taste, in a food processor and grind to combine. Cover a plate with plastic wrap to make for easy clean up after breading and pour almond and bread crumb mixture onto it. Remove chicken from the egg and coat in the bread crumb mixture.
Preheat oven to 250 degrees F.
Heat 3 tablespoons, 3 turns of the pan, oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium to medium high heat. Add cutlets and cook 3 minutes on each side, transfer to a plate and cover with foil and keep warm in the oven. Repeat with remaining chicken.
Whisk 2 tablespoons cream into the sauce, a splash. Lower the heat on the sauce and whisk the butter into pot until it has incorporated. Remove from heat and season with salt and pepper, to your taste.
Place 2 cutlets on each dinner plate and spoon a little beurre blanc sauce down over top of the cutlets.

My favorite? Stuffed chicken breasts! Fillet your chicken, then pound thin. Place whatever you have–my favorite is goat cheese, spinach, precooked bacon and portobello mushroom slices in the middle. Roll and place seam side down on a baking sheet. Rub with olive oil and season however you like. Bake at 350 for about 30 minutes. Try the goat cheese, it’s divine! Suggestions: Cream cheese, mushrooms, spinach, figs, asparagus, spinach, minced broccoli, bacon–it’s endless!
