Chicken Curry
How about boxed "Stove Top Chicken Dressing" on the side (do not stuff chicken). Stove Top has a delicious flavor.
Canned cranberry sauce on the side.
Stuffed eggs on the side.
Mashed potatoes goes well with chicken.
Green peas or green beans go well too.
Chicken curry!
Add that spicey jerk stuff

Chicken and Fennel:
Prep time: 20 min. Cook time: 45 min.
Chicken:
6 to 8 chicken thighs (about 2 1/2 pounds), bone in with skin
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 medium bulb fennel, halved, cut into 1/2-inch wedges attached to core, fronds reserved
1 medium red onion, sliced into thin wedges about 1/3 to 1/2-inch wedges
4 cloves garlic, smashed and peeled
3/4 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes or to taste
1/2 cup oil packed sun-dried tomatoes, roughly chopped
1/3 cup kalamata olives
Couscous:
1 1?2 cups uncooked couscous
3 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus additional for seasoning
Freshly grated nutmeg
Pinch cayenne pepper
Freshly ground black pepper
3/4 cup pine nuts
1 navel orange, zested
1/4 cup roughly chopped or whole flat-leaf parsley
2 to 3 tablespoons water or chicken broth
For the chicken: Position a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 450 degrees F. Season the chicken thighs generously with salt and pepper. Heat a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat, add oil, and heat until shimmering. Cook chicken skin side down until golden and crispy, about 8 minutes. Turn chicken and brown for another 2 minutes. Transfer chicken to a plate. Pour off 1 tablespoon of the pan drippings and reserve; leave just enough oil in the skillet to evenly cover the bottom, discard the rest.
Add the fennel, onions, garlic, oregano, and red pepper flakes to the skillet and cook until the vegetables just begin to wilt, about 3 minutes. Stir in the tomatoes and olives. Arrange the chicken, skin side up, on top of the vegetable mixture and bake, uncovered, until the chicken is cooked through, about 20 to 30 minutes.
While the chicken bakes, make the couscous: Rinse the couscous in a fine mesh sieve under cold water until the water runs clear. Put couscous into a medium bowl and set aside. In a small saucepan add the chicken broth, reserved drippings, the 1 teaspoon salt, nutmeg, cayenne, and black pepper and bring to a boil. Add the broth to the couscous and cover with plastic wrap and set aside until the liquid has been absorbed and the couscous is plump, about 5 minutes.
Toast the pine nuts in a small skillet over medium-high heat, tossing in the pan until golden brown, about 2 to 3 minutes. Add the orange zest, fennel fronds and parsley.
When ready to serve, fold the parsley mixture into the couscous and fluff with a fork. Mound the couscous on a warm serving platter and arrange the chicken around the couscous. Stir 2 to 3 tablespoons water or broth into the fennel mixture so they look glazed. Adjust seasoning and spoon fennel over the couscous and chicken; scatter the toasted pine nuts on top.

type in april's louisiana chicken spaghetti
try that it is sooo DELISH!!
oh btw...it's MY tried and true recipe
Baste it with Wishbone Italian Dressing (not the cream but oil) And Bake it at 350 Degrees until it is tender and browned.
Baked Chicken Breasts
Marinate chicken in breasts in Italian dressing for about 1 hour then roll in Italian style bread crumbs that have Parmesan and Romano cheeses mixed in - bake at 375 degrees F for 45 minutes to 1 hour depending upon how thick/big they are. Serve with smashed potatoes, green beans and maybe some gravy. It is easy, fast and very tasty.
Cherry glazed chicken breasts:
1 can cherry pie filling
4-6 boneless chicken breasts
Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Place the chicken breasts in a glass baking pan that has been sprayed with a non-stick cooking spray like Pam. Spoon just enough of the cherry pie filling over the chicken to cover lightly. Place pan into oven and cook for 1 hour and 15 minutes spreading more of the pie filling over the chicken every 30 minutes. Serve with rice or potatoes - either smashed or baked - and a steamed green veggie such as broccoli, peas or whole green beans or corn.
This is very easy and you get a nice moist chicken breast. This also works well for Cornish game hens or pork chops.

a good idea is to get somebody else to cook it for you !!
