Chicken recipes?
I have a pound of boneless chicken breast. Any ideas for dinner? (Please don't mention anything that will require "frying".)

Marinate for 30 minutes and grill that baby.
Everything tastes better over an open flame!
Chipotle-Lime Grilled Chicken
Smoky chipotle marries lime juice and mild honey in this irresistible chicken dish, perfect for your next barbecue.
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
1/4 cup olive oil
2 1/2 Tbs chipotle Tabasco
3/4 tsp salt
6 large skinless boneless chicken thighs (2 1/2 lb total)
2 tsp mild honey
1 Prepare grill for cooking over direct heat with medium-hot charcoal (moderate heat for gas).
2 While coals are lighting, stir together lime juice, oil, Tabasco, and salt in a liquid-measuring cup. Put chicken in a large sealable bag and add 1/3 cup marinade (reserve remainder in cup). Seal bag, forcing out excess air, and marinate chicken at room temperature, about 15 minutes. Stir honey into remaining marinade until dissolved to make sauce.
3 Grill chicken (discarding marinade in bag) on lightly oiled grill rack, covered only if using a gas grill, turning chicken over occasionally and moving it to avoid flare-ups if necessary, until just cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes total.
4 Brush both sides of chicken with some of reserved sauce, then continue to grill, turning over once, until lightly browned, about 1 minute more. Serve chicken drizzled with remaining sauce.

My mother always made these two simple things with her's - one she would put a layer of dressing down, then the chicken breasts, and then melt mozzarella cheese over it and the other, rice, cream of mushroom mixed together with the chicken breasts thrown in.
I sometimes coat chicken in plain yogurt then roll in italian bread crumbs and bake.
cook it or bake it, then slice it to put on top of a nice spring salad mix......make you you put some veggies in there too, complete meal!!
