Rub in some spices such as Middle Eastern, drizzle a little sunflower oil and bake.

That chicken schnitzel is lovely with capers sprinkled over the top.
I love capers.

I rub with spices and bake in oven served with onions, lots of bell peppers, small tomatoes drizzled with oil, can add cubes of potatoes.

Flatten out well.

Dip in seasoned flour, then dip in beaten egg, then cover with breadcrumbs.

Shallow fry in butter and olive oil (75%-25%)

Squeeze of lemon juice on servings

Chicken schnitzel, yummy

Oh yuk - boil it for the cat?

I'm with you on that, Gone right off chicken of late.

Fry on both sides, cover with tomato sauce with some chopped basil in. Add slices of mozzarella, sprinkle with parmesan, drizzle with some olive oil. Bake.

Got an idea that's a BBC recipe too.

I’ve done something similar using a tub of Tesco fresh Arribiata sauce. Really nice served up with buttered wide ribbon noodles - pappardelle I think they’re called.

Make an incision to hollow out a pocket and fill it with garlic butter, or wrap a piece of Gruyère cheese in a thin slice of Parma ham and place in the pocket. Dip in flour, egg and seasoned breadcrumbs and shallow fry on both sides until cooked. If you whizz up your own breadcrumbs in a food processor and add some oil to moisten the crumbs, you can cook the chicken in the oven and the crumb coating will be just as crispy. You’ll never eat shop bought chicken Kiev again. I also like a chicken breast stuffed with your favourite stuffing, wrapped in bacon and roasted.

I think I’ve posted before about Sainsburys Sage and Butternut Squash bottled sauce. It’s really nice and if you’re not keen on creamy sauces this works well if you seal a seasoned chicken breast on both sides with a few mushrooms and shallots, then pour on the sauce and simmer until the chicken is cooked through.

I put mine in the Remoska with a tin of tomatoes and lots of different flavourings (e.g. basil etc.) plus some vegetable (e.g. asparagus, broccoli etc.) and a handful of dry pasta. Close the lid and switch on and bingo you have a meal - enough for two days for me.

Please can you give me some more interesting ideas to do with a chicken breast? All I ever do is cover them with Parma ham or pastrami and roast them. DH wont eat cream so some sauces are out.
