Rasin chicken is my favorite, but I don't feel like trying to find the recipe. Basically its chicken microwaved in a very sweet rasin sauce, served over rice.

Personal favorite and I made it up myself.

Get a package of thin sliced chicken breast. Saute it in about 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat until the chicken is fully cooked. Add a can of stewed tomatoes and 1 1/2 - 2 cups of red wine. Let it simmer uncovered for 15-20 minutes until the chicken has had time to absorb some of the flavor and so the sauce can simmer down and get thicker. Then serve with rice. It's a American version of how they cook chicken in Guatemala sometimes.

Ok


4 chicken breasts
1 lb pasta
1 jar sauce
1 head broccoli
1 can olives
4 mushrooms
Olive oil
Garlic
Cheese of your choice

Cut chicken in to chunks, cut broccoli, and mushrooms. Boil pasta in 1 gallon of salted water, stirring for the first 60 seconds. Place chicken in pan on high heat. Flip chicken until it's white on both sides. Place a small lid on the chicken, add broccoli. Turn to just above simmer. You want as little volume as possible over the chicken.

Wait 5 or 6 minutes, remove lid, put chicken on super high, maybe with a little butter until brown. Drain pasta, put sauce in pasta pan, put chicken and broccoli in pan. Add a little oil, and garlic. Then add olives and mushrooms. Add cheese, cover for 2 minutes. Stir and serve.

I cook this about 3 times per month. I love it. :D

Real basic but a favorite of mine.

Chicken and rice with some duck sauce.

Canned chicken + packages of rice + duck sauce.

Quick, easy, & tasty!

Take 2 chicken breasts and 2 tablespoons italian dressing and marinade in Ziploc for 1 hour in fridge. Then grill, fry, or bake. Quite good and healthy if you use fat free dressing!

Chicken Quesadillas

Flour tortillas
Kraft Mexican Shredded Cheese
Chicken, grilled or fried and diced
Butter


Butter one side of the tortilla, place it buttered side down in a skillet, fill with cheese and place some chicken on top of the cheese (like making a pizza). Let the tortilla brown and top it with another buttered tortilla (buttered side up). After the tortilla starts to brown and the cheese starts to melt, flip the tortilla so the other side can brown. Garnish with salsa and sour cream.

Honey Mustard and Red Onion Barbecued Chicken

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/2 red onion, chopped
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup brown sugar, a couple of handfuls
1 cup chicken stock
1/2 cup prepared honey mustard (recommended: Honey Cup brand)
1/2 teaspoon allspice, eyeball it
1/2 teaspoon curry powder, eyeball it
4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breast
4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
Vegetable oil, for drizzling
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Preheat grill pan or griddle over medium high heat.
Pour 2 tablespoons vegetable oil into a small saucepan over moderate heat. Add red onions and saute 3 to 5 minutes. Add vinegar and reduce by half, 1 to 2 minutes. Add brown sugar and cook 1 minute to incorporate. Whisk in broth and honey mustard, allspice and curry. Bring sauce to a bubble and reduce heat to lowest setting.

Coat chicken with a drizzle of oil and salt and pepper, to your taste. Place chicken on hot grill and cook 4 or 5 minutes, then turn. Baste chicken liberally with sauce and cook another 5 minutes. Turn once again and baste. Cook 2 or 3 minutes more to cook through and transfer chicken to a platter and serve.

Chicken Paprikas

Chop a few chicken breasts into chunks. Place in ziplok with flour, paprika (the hot hungarian stuff, not the generic Kroger crap), salt and pepper. Shake to coat the pieces of chicken.

Melt butter in pan. Brown (not cook through) chicken bits in butter and set aside.

Dice onions, bell pepper (red, yellow, green...doesn't matter), and garlic. Sautee in pan (add oil if needed) until onions start to become translucent.

Add dry paprika (as much as you like, you really can't add too much) to pan. Stir constantly for 2-3 minutes until paprika starts to become very fragrant. Be very careful not to burn it or it will taste terrible.

Add 1 cup white wine to pan to deglaze (scrape as much as you can off the bottom of the pan and stir until mixed with wine.

Add chicken back into pan.

Add a few tbps tomato paste.

Add enough chicken stock to mostly cover the chicken and veggies.

Simmer until stock volume has reduced by 50% and starts to become thick.

Serve over egg noodles.

Enjoy.

I was just playing around the other night and made this tasty dish:

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
14 spears Asparagus
2 slices Swiss Cheese
2 tbsp Olive Oil
1 tbsp Oregano
1 tsp Garlic Salt
1 tsp Black Pepper
toothpicks

With a meat pulverizer, pound the chicken breasts until they are no thicker than 1/2 inch at any place.
Cut asparagus to 1" longer than the width of the chicken breasts.
Sprinkle one side of chicken breasts with 1/2 of the oregano, garlic salt and black pepper.
Lay one slice of cheese on each breast.
Place 7 spears of asparagus on each breast.
Roll breasts up so that the asparagus and cheese is in the middle of the roll. Pin in place by spearing the roll with at least 3 toothpicks.
Brush outsides of rolls with olive oil and sprinkle with remaining seasons.

Grill rolls for 7 minutes on each of the 4 sides over medium heat coals or electric grill (works well with indoor grill and the George Foreman grill).
I recommend putting a pyrex bowl or pan over the top of the rolls to trap the heat in and help cook it more thoroughly.

Serve with a hollandaise sauce.
