  1. OK, I am completely out of ideas here. Last week I bought buy one get
    one free chicken breasts, and accidentally grabbed a package of
    pre-marinaded Italian chicken. I had intended on grilling it but my
    Foreman grill died (the non-stick coating bubbled and blistered so badly
    last week I was too scared to use it anymore).
    So I'm trying to think of a way to use my chicken, some red peppers,
    and a few mushrooms. The difficulty is that I don't want to stir fry
    something that's got Italian spices all over it. Also, I don't have any
    tomato sauce, but I do have a couple of leftover Roma tomatoes. Not
    much there, though.
    Any thoughts? A web search for recipes has been pretty fruitless.

    I would cut those Romas in half, drizzle them w/ olive oil, sprinkle w/ sea
    salt, and roast them til they're browned on the edges (450F for 20-30
    minutes? check them). Heck, roast the peppers, too, and why not the
    mushrooms? (I'm not sure how long to roast the mushrooms, though). When
    you're ready to eat, I would cut the chicken into bitesize pieces, then
    saute. Meanwhile, cook some pasta. Add the veggies (chopped into bitesize
    pieces as well) and a splash of wine or broth to the chicken. Add the
    cooked, drained pasta and cook for a few minutes. Toss with some parmesan
    or feta cheese.

    If you're not interested in pasta but have some good crusty bread, I think
    this would make a good sandwich filling, too. Some kind of melty cheese --
    mozzarella or provolone -- would be good with it.

    Regardless of how you cook it, be sure to dry it really good with
    papertowels or you'll end up with a "greyish chicken pudding" for
    dinner. Kev

    Heat olive oil.

    If the breasts are big, slice them on the diagonal to make cutlets. Dip the
    cutlets in seasoned flour and then egg, and fry over medium heat til golden.
    Remove from an and stash in a covered dish or plate. Because of the
    quickness of this dish I would NOT risk overcooking them by putting them in
    a heated oven.

    Add more oil to the chicken pan if necessary and throw some sliced onion and
    the sliced peppers, then when soft the shrooms. Toss around for a few
    minutes and add a splash of balsamic and some broth or water. You want some
    deglazing action so you get nice chicken fry bits too. Add whatever other
    seasonings interest you and serve this on top of the chicken cutlets.

    This would also go well with a simple tomato sauce made using those
    roma tomatoes. Seed and core them, chop, sweat the tomatoes over low
    heat, remove from heat, allow to cool then puree in a food processor.
    While doing that, heat olive oil, toss in a preferred amount of minced
    garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Return tomato puree to skillet add your
    favorite italian herbs and simmer. Cook a pasta of choice top with
    tomato sauce and chicken cutlets.

    I forgot about the tomatoes. I'm lazy so I might just seed and chop them
    and throw them in with the onions and peppers, but either way they're
    definitely a great addition!

    This sounds great! I think I'll keep it on hand whether I use it
    tonight or not. I haven't decided between this and the cutlets, they
    both sound so yummy.

    This sounds so yummy. Again, I can't decide which to do, yours and
    Chris' ideas both sound really good.
