How about some Chicken A La King? On toast.
Or a salad made with a bed of salad fixins (lettuce, radish, carrot, celery) topped with a chopped apple, topped with cranraisins, topped with cubed or peeled cooked (boiled) chicken breast, topped with toasted sunflower seeds, pine nuts, and walnuts, that topped with Feta cheese - sprinkled and the add Raspberry Vinaigrette over the top. If you have a nice warm fire to eat it by, you are good to go.
6 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
6 slices Swiss cheese
6 slices ham
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon paprika
6 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup dry white wine
1 teaspoon chicken bouillon granules
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 cup heavy whipping cream
DIRECTIONS
Pound chicken breasts if they are too thick. Place a cheese and ham slice on each breast within 1/2 inch of the edges. Fold the edges of the chicken over the filling, and secure with toothpicks. Mix the flour and paprika in a small bowl, and coat the chicken pieces.
Heat the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat, and cook the chicken until browned on all sides. Add the wine and bouillon. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes, until chicken is no longer pink and juices run clear.
Remove the toothpicks, and transfer the breasts to a warm platter. Blend the cornstarch with the cream in a small bowl, and whisk slowly into the skillet. Cook, stirring until thickened, and pour over the chicken. Serve warm.
Here is an easy one and it is very good also. Clean your chicken breast, dry them off. Brush a very light coating of mayonnaise on them, and then add black pepper. The mayo takes out any extra fat. I thought this sounded awful but after i tried it it was so good. another good one, is to bake the chicken breast with just fresh garlic, butter, and a little virgin olive oil, and fresh parsley. These are great with a little melted mozzarella cheese served on either a pita bread or tortilla. ENJOY!!!!
Place cut up pieces of chicken into a skillet. Lightly salt, and pepper pieces. Pour 1 cup of ketsup all over chicken. Slowly pour into skillet, one can of pepsi or coca cola. Cover with lid, and cook on medium temperature for 30 min. Uncover and turn chicken pieces, and continue cooking uncovered for additional 30 min. After sauce begins to thicken, turn chicken occasionally to coat pieces.
The recipe with these two ingredients may sound unusual, but I can tell you it is good. The cola combined make for a barbeque sauce.

I have two, one easy, one more difficult.
Alfredo and Artichoke Pasta...cook up some pasta to al dente..not too soft. Cook some boneless chic breasts in a pan in oil or butter until done then cut into bite sized pieces. Add to a jar or two of good alfredo sauce and combination of the following: plain can artichoke bottoms cut up..not the kind in oil...frozen peas defrosted under warm water...sun dried tomatoes cut up....fresh or canned mushrooms....mix and pour over pasta. Top with grated parm.
Take a whole chicken and put into a pan. Cut in quarters some onions and a lemon. Empty a bag of baby carrots into the pan, add the lemon and onions. Cut up a few baking potatoes or red potatoes about the size of the onion chunks. Shove a few of the onions and two pieces of lemon into the bird. Sprinkle everything with italion seasoning spices, even inside the bird. Add about a 1/2 c water to the bottom of pan. Cook in a preheated oven at 350 until the bird is done.
These are soooo good. We usually have couscous or biscuts with the second.
One of our family favorites.

BOILED CHICKEN BREASTS
(use for quesadilla's or chicken casserole)
In a frying pan boil enough water to cover chicken breasts.
Once water starts boiling add the breasts and cook for 6 minutes uncovered.
Turn off heat, cover chicken and let stand without removing the lid for 15 minutes.
Chicken is done.
I like to lightly pan fry the chicken, cook some pasta, add Alfredo sauce, some green peas or broccoli, then my secret ingredient, toasted walnuts. The combination of flavors and textures is fantastic!! Try it you will like it.
