I don't want your typical cream of mushroom recipe. I don't mind putting some time into it. I would like to do something that has some type of a sauce involved with it.Easy Chicken Breast Recipe?
A fast and simple thing we do with boneless chicken breasts is lightly season them with salt and fresh ground pepper (or kick it up with a rub or seasoning like Durn Good seasoning), spray lightly with Pam for Grilling and then grill them. We use the cookout calculator at charcoalbob.com for grilling times and instructions on how to grill them so that they don't dry out.
We then put a little of our favorite barbecue sauce in a small bowl to use as a dipping sauce, just like you would for a shrimp sauce. Simple and delicious.Easy Chicken Breast Recipe?

KRAFT KITCHENS TIPS
Serving Suggestion
Serve with hot cooked MINUTE White Rice and peas.
Well, I don't have a written out recipe because I cook by taste, but one of my favorites for chicken breasts is to fillet it and stuff it with another meat of your choice, I like bacon and some cheese. Love pepper-jack with this. Grill it or bake it, a George Foreman works well to drain off the excess grossness that inevitably shows up. Usually takes about five to eight minutes to cook each piece. Then for a sauce, well whatever has you feeling good about it. With a pepper-jack cheese and bacon stuffed chicken, I'd go with some sauteed mushrooms and red and green bell peppers with a light lemon sauce, a little bit of Worcestershire with some lemon juice and just a touch of melted butter, it'll be great. I'd watch about adding salt because of the bacon. You might over salt it if you aren't careful. But it's a spicy flavorful recipe that doesn't take too long to make. Hope this helped!
