Grilled chicken & pesto sandwiches. Grill the breast, slice thin, cover with swiss or mozzarella cheese and melt the cheese. Put on toasted bread with pesto, mayo (maybe) and tomato if you like.
If you’re looking to add more calories to fill you up, add bacon.
Slice breast in half flatwise. Saute the two halves slowly in butter. Remove them from the pan and add finely chopped shallots or onions and saute until tender. Add white wine, let it come to a boil and reduce a little. Add mustard, some chicken broth or water, and let it simmer around a bit. Add some cream, and let it reduce until slightly thickened. Return chicken pieces to the pan for a half a minute to rewarm and coat them. Salt to taste.
Cut up potatoes and drizzle with olive oil , S &P, and lemon zest, lay out on baking sheet. Stuff chicken breast with brie, and coat outside with olive oil. Cook at 350 for 20 minutes, coat chicken with a mixture of apricot jam and balsamic vinegar and cook for another 20 minutes or until brown. Serve with salad, and crusty bread plus a nice Viognier or Piniot Noir. Lime or raspberry sherbet for dessert.
This sounds like it’s complicated, but it comes together really fast.
Cut the breast in half. Place one of the pieces in a gallon plastic bag and pound it to about 1/4". Repeat with the second piece. Set aside and season with salt & pepper.
Make a batch of pasta for two.
While the pasta is cooking, Beat an egg and small amount of milk together to make an egg wash.
On a separate plate, place bread crumbs, preferably Panko type.
Heat a non-stick pan to about medium-med high and add some olive oil and butter.
Put a handful of flour in the plastic bag. Add the chicken and shake until coated. Shake off excess. Dip in the egg wash, shake off excess. Roll in the bread crumbs until well coated, then place into the hot fat. Fry on each side until golden brown and internal temp is 165. This will only take a 2-3 minutes on a side. Remove to a cutting board and cut into bite-sized pieces.
Drain the pasta, toss with butter, thyme (or other herb) and grated Parmesan. Top with cut up schnitzel pieces.
Make a vegetable soup - potato onion carrot cabbage tomato beans herbs. Boil the chicken till cooked, add the boiling water to the soup, take apart the chicken breast fibers with a fork until you have strings of chicken, then add them to the soup. Serve with bread.
Okay, now I’m getting worried: It’s been 2 days already, and we haven’t heard from the OP.
