Try Chicken Piccata or Chicken Siciliano. I usually go for ease and just use my spit and make a lot of spit roasted chicken. Another tasty dish I made was Chicken Rollatini (Rolled chicken breast, stuffed with spinach, feta cheese, and ham (or prosciutto), then rolled in an egg wash and bread crumbs. Fry in olive oil until brown on all sides and then cook in oven at 350 for 15 mins. While chicken is cooking in the oven, make a roux with the remaining olive oil, dilute with milk,white wine and add in some Parmesan cheese. Serve chicken  on top of spaghetti and cover with the sauce. (or you COULD use store bought Alfredo sauce)  :yum:

It's really simple, except you can't use Cream of Mushroom (original) so try Cream of Celery (possibly Cream of Chicken?), but I don't know how it will come out?????????: (crosses fingers)

2 cups (dry/4 when done) white rice cooked according to package. We usually make it as "sticky" rice.

4 boneless, skinless chicken boobies, sliced.

2 tbs EVOO

2 cans Cream of Celery Soup or Chicken.

1 bunch flat leaf (Italian) parsley, chopped.

1 large container of sour cream. You can use Lite but fat free sucks.

1 bulb of garlic, peeled and crushed, yup that much.

S&P

Brown the chicken in a large skillet with the olive oil until partially cooked. Add the cans of soup, 1/3 the parsley, garlic (season at this time) and simmer 10-15 min or until the chicken is done.  Add the sour cream, and bring to a simmer. Heat through. Add as much parsley as you like, and stir through, but don't cook it, just get it heated.

Serve over the rice in bowls.

Lemme know how the substitutes work?

Homemade chicken pot pie is the bomb. Crescent roll chicken is pretty tasty, but I don't have my recipe. I've lost it, so I haven't had it in a while. I had it memorized or so I thought. Last time I made it, it wasn't quite right. Chicken rotel is pretty tasty too.

Thor you may have cracked the recipe from a restaurant I once went to.

I ordered chicken stuffed with cheese and spinach.  The chicken breast was covered with a crunchy coating that on first look gave a hollow sound when banged on with a fork.----I have no idea how to explain it this is the best I can do.  Closest I can come is the coating was much like the crust of home made bread.

Actually, I cracked a recipe from a local restaurant. I used egg wash and italian bread crumbs. Mine turned out better than the restaurant's.

As I just posted in another thread:

Quote
I'm pretty boring with chicken most of the time. I'll bake a breast or leg quarter plain with the skin on, then when it is done, strip off the skin and give that to the dog after it cools, then sprinkle either some Montreal Chicken spice, or some Cajun seasoning or Old Bay on the chicken.

Stovetop Roast Chicken (video) (http://www.americastestkitchen.com/recipes/detail.php?docid=17635)

1. Sear the raw chicken pieces to jump-start the cooking process and crisp the skin.

2. Steam the chicken in broth to cook it quickly and evenly and to render fat from the skin.

3. Re-crisp the chicken pieces in the cleaned skillet to create super thin, ultracrisp skin.

It comes with a recipe for a simple chicken sauce... shallots, roux, lemon juice, parsley, and chives

You'd hate to see me in the kitchen! I dirty up almost every dish we have!! I use something new even if I shouldn't. Just habit I think.


Oh, and I don't do the dishes. That is the one thing my husband will do. So, yeah he hates it.

I miss having a professional dishwasher.  Those things would wash, sanitize, and dry a dish in two seconds flat.

Having to cook AND clean breaks that habit REAL quick !! I USED to be a slob in the kitchen, dirtying far too many pots, pans & utensils. I started learning how to cook things better and with less mess a long time ago.

You can't really be much of a cook until you've had to do your own cleaning. I'm not sure how the overall chef thing works, say in a culinary school, but if it goes like I think, you're basically a sous chef (read, slave) until you "graduate." Even then, 90% of cooking is cleaning. That's what I was taught and that's how I do business. It's to the point that I simply can't operate in a dirty kitchen - drives me nuts.

Oh, and for those who want to be around the kitchen when I'm doing my thing, stay the hell outta my way and nobody will get hurt. I can't stand people, dogs, well-wishers, Jehovah's Witnesses or Fuller Brush Salesmen in my kitchen.   :nunchuck:

 :rotf: :rotf: :rotf: :rotf: Are we related ?!?!?!?!?  My ex constantly bitched at me for chasing people out of the kitchen. I would often prepare Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner, the full gamut and ALWAYS people wanted to hang in the kitchen, which, in reality was only large enough for one cook. I didn't mind if they sat at the bar or in the breakfast nook, but they never stayed put. Always under foot and in my way!!  :hammer: :hammer: :hammer:

The worst ones are the ones that are too tipsy, and get all up in your personal space.  As I have a galley kitchen, I get people, backing me up against the wall in my own kitchen.  Now, when I have git-togethers, I put a yardstick on the floor, and tell people they cannot cross that line.   :-)
