One of the things I was able to stock up on recently is boneless chicken breasts. Since then, I think I've made them every way I know how.. at least twice. If anyone has a relatively simple, tried and true way of preparing them, I'd love for you to share.

In a hurry, I will cook one in the Instant Pot, shred it and add to a quick casserole with rice, peas and carrots, and cream of chicken soup.

If chicken breast are thick, split in two.  In the middle, place a piece of mozzarella cheese, sprinkle with powered garlic and roll up.  Wrap a piece of bacon around the rolled up chicken breast and place on a cookies sheet.  Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes until bacon is crisp.

This will be similar to s stir fry.Cut chicken into bit size pieces.  Chop up an onion, several cloves of garlic.  In a saute pan, add olive oil, onions, garlic, saute until soft, add cut up pieces of chicken. dried parsley, and paprika.  Cook 15 to 20 minutes until chicken is browned. If you want you can add wine at this point, red or white or sparking and cook until reduced. Serve with rice or rice a roni or even spaghetti.

Do you like to grill out? We made 7-Up Chicken with a side of Hobo Potatoes (those you make on the grill in foil packets) and a fresh fruit salad (melon balls, strawberries, grapes and blueberries). Will do it again. This recipe can easily be halved.

• 2 cups lemon-lime soda
• 1 cup soy sauce
• 1 cup cooking oil
• 2 tsp. garlic powder
• 8 boneless chicken breasts

Make marinade of ingredients. Make sure chicken is covered as it marinates in the refrigerator for at least 10 hours. Then simply grill until meat is cooked all the way through.

Do you like Mexican food? If you do cut up one or 2 chicken breasts (depending on size and number of people you are feeding) and cook on stovetop in a little olive oil. Add in a package of (lowsalt)taco seasoning, a can of drained black beans and cut up fresh tomatoes or half to a full jar of salsa. Transfer cooked mix to a baking dish and top with shredded Mexican cheese. Bake at 350 until cheese melts. Serve as is, or on warmed tortilla or with tortilla chips.

I like my version of oven fried chicken cutlets.  If they are very thick, pound them a little flatter.  Soak in milk for 1/2 hour or so.  Coat each cutlet in seasoned breadcrumbs and place on a foil-lined pan (make sure pan has a rim).  Drizzle with oil and bake at 375 for 30 minutes.  

I make a lot as I love the leftovers.  This is tasty at room temperature as a sandwich with some mayo, duck sauce, salsa, etc.  Slice it and put it in a pita or wrap with veggies. So versatile.

in an 8x8 baking dish arrange  chicken breasts , season with garlic powder and pepper.

Cover with foil  loosely and  bake for 20 minutes.  Remove foil and top with cheese and bake for 7-10 minutes until cheese is melted and chicken is done. Serve as is or over rice. 

This is a super simple weeknight dish with things you probably have on hand. This doubles really well too
