  • Do they have skin on them? and do they have bones?
    I love fried/roast chicken with a mustard and cream sauce, but would ideally have skin on the chicken to stop it drying out. Otherwise could do honey and mustard chicken-baked in oven (don't really use honey in my main course cooking as don't really like very sweet things)
    Have you any cheese? skinless chicken breast smeared with mustard covered with parmesan and baked is a nice dinner.

    The chicken breasts I got have no skin or bones.
    I've tried googling recipes for mustard cream sauce but they all add ingredients I dont have like white wine, red peppercorn, fresh thyme(dont have dried either)
    I got no cheese either.
    Payday is tuesday so I only got two more days to be inventive. It's gone well so far but I'm struggling with the chicken.

  • OK-fry the chicken (cut up into strips) ideally with a sliced onion, but don't worry if you can't get one. Then once its nearly cooked add a splash of lemon juice, a BIG spoonful of mustard, and some cream ( I would use 300ml-one tub, of double, but could use less or single), stir and simmer until thickened. Serve with fried spuds or rice, ideally with something green-I like peas :)
  • Honey and mustard chicken is lovely - mix a little mustard into the honey and smear it over the chicken and chill for a couple of hours. Then put it into the oven for 25 - 30 mins serve with potatoes and green beans.
    Lemon chicken is nice too
    Blessed are the cracked for they are the ones that let in the light

    Okay I have a pack of these I've just defrosted and can't decide what to make.

    I have celery, peppers, onions, leeks, carrots, cabbage, cheese, milk, cream, mushrooms, tomatoes, lots of herbs and spices, sauces, pasta, rice, lentils, potatoes etc etc.

    Hi NJW69,

    There are lots of ideas that should give you inspiration on this thread:

    What can I do with chicken breast fillets...

    I'll add your thread to that one later to keep the suggestions together.

    At school my friend was telling me they're having them stuffed with pesto and mozarella and cooked in breadcrumbs. As a veggie I can't but it sounded good to me!

    Depending whether or not you want to get any extra ingredients from the shop - last time I had chicken breasts I cut them not quite in half, filled with garlic & herb philedelphia and wrapped in bacon. Delish!
