CHICKEN GRILL ITALIENNE
6 whole boned, chicken breasts (skin on)
2 tablespoons green or yellow onion, finely chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
garlic powder, salt and pepper (for sprinkling)
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon fresh Rosemary, minced
2 tablespoons fresh Parsley, minced
1/4 cup each of butter and olive oil
1 1/2 cups bread crumbs
1/2 lb thinly sliced ham or prosciutto, finely chopped
12 wooden toothpicks (soaked in water for 5 minutes)
Preheat grill so that coals are white hot in time for grilling.
Melt butter in microwave, stir in oil. To this warm mixture, add Parsley, Rosemary, minced garlic, chopped onion and paprika (a pinch of rubbed sage may optionally be added if you have it on hand, but be careful not to overdo). Allow the herbs to infuse for 10 minutes. Remove 3-4 tablespoons to a separate small bowl and use this to brush both sides of the chicken.
Place chicken breasts, skin side down, on a layer of wax paper or plastic wrap. Pound lightly with the back of a heavy frying pan or meat mallet until slightly flattened out. Sprinkle chicken with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
In a small bowl, mix together bread crumbs with Parmesan cheese and chopped ham. Add remaining butter, oil and herb mixture to bread crumbs and stir until well combined (if mixture seems too thick, add a tablespoon or so of warm water or more olive oil).
Spoon stuffing mixture into the hollow part inside the chicken breasts. Fold edges of chicken over stuffing to cover and fasten together securely with wooden toothpicks.
Place chicken (about 6 inches away) over white hot coals on grill, skin side down. Grill on one side for about 20 minutes; brush again with more butter/oil mixture (if you run out, just use olive oil spray). Turn chicken over and grill for another 20 minutes or until chicken is tender and golden. Remove toothpicks and serve.
Variation: Place a slice of provolone cheese over each breast before stuffing and rolling up.
To make a great take-along lunch, this may also be prepared in aluminum foil pouches (one for each breast). Spray the inner side of the foil with olive oil and add a slice of or two of onion to each packet for extra flavor.
when it is hot out I make a tuna salad and put it on a bed of romaine lettuce hearts with sliced tomatoes on the side and some cottage cheese.
do a search for zone recipes or look for something at all recipes.com. You didn't say anything about your favorite foods, whether or not you're vegetarian, or if you have health issues.
No one can read your mind.
I am making chicken breast pita pockets stuffed with fresh spinach, avocado, skim cheese, and fresh salsa...
One other favorite is tri tip shredded fine, and make soft tacos...
Add fresh salsa, and any other topping you like... Tastes great! An easy way to make the tri tip is in a slow cooker, or crock pot... Just makes sure to shred it thin as possible... I also like cabbage with it finely sliced not chopped...
Chicken tacos are great too if you boil the chicken breast for quite a long time and finely shred it... Just the same as above...
I really don't like to fry anything.... Mostly BBQ. Throw anything on the grill and it tastes great...
Talipia tacos taste great! Oh I am hungry... Hope some of these sound good to your tummy! :o)
Seared Venison (Cervena) Medallions - about 3-4 minutes each side. Served with a deglaze sauce of chicken stock, white wine, shallots and mushrooms.
Not sure where you live so the meat maybe difficult to find. If you do see it at your butchers or market, give it a try. Very lean/high protein meat.
Very quick and easy:
Chicken Cordon Bleu (2 mins): get Tyson's chicken patties, and put one on a bun with ham and cheese.
Some other quick and easy ideas:

Chili Dogs
Nachos with Chili
Rotel dip
Taco Burgers (taco meat on a bun) mmmm!!
My Aunt Jenny always makes this when we visit her in Florida. It's definitely a Southern Comfort Meal, and one of my favorites!
1 jar dried beef
6 boneless chicken breast halves
1 can (10.5 ounces) cream of mushroom soup, undiluted
4 ounces (1/2 cup ) sour cream
6 slices bacon
Line a 9x13 pan with a single layer of dried beef.
Wrap each chicken breast with bacon, then put them in the pan on top of the dried beef.
Mix sour cream with cream of mushroom soup and pour over the chicken breasts.
Cover pan with aluminum foil and bake at 250 degrees F for 2 hours or until chicken is cooked throughly.
Best served with pan juices and rice.
Home made tacos are so the way to go!!! I am definitely NOT a cook, and no one can screw up tacos! If I can do it anyone can! LOL... I always buy a kit from the grocery store. Grab some tomatoes, lettuce and sour cream and you're ready to go!
I like to use whole wheat pasta:
for one cup of pasta, I use 1/4 cup of Ricotta and some grated romano cheese, put it in the microwave for 15 seconds to get the chill out, and then mix in your cooked pasta...add salt & pepper to taste
OR another pasta dish:
cut up some fresh tomato, garlic and basil, add some cooked pasta and mix in some extra virgin olive oil. Tastes FANTASTIC at room temperature, and the longer it sits, the better it tastes..so it's great to take for a lunch for work since you don't need to reheat it.
I love cooking tacos, all you need to do is buy some taco shells, cheese, beans, ground meat, salad, taco sauce, and rice.
You could also grilling some hot dogs and hamburgers, its simple and easy. All you need is some ketchup, mustard, salad, tomato, relesh, and its also good to put some chips on the table.
HOPE THIS HELPS!
