Here is one of my family's favorites. I call it Holiday Chicken since I make it often around the holidays but they tend to want it during the rest of the year too. Easy Breezy....
Holiday Chicken
Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts
1 can Whole Berry Cranberry Sauce
1 pkg Lipton Onion Soup Mix
1 Bottle Catalina Salad Dressing
Mix All together, Bake in oven at 375 degrees till chicken is done and sauce has thickened. You can cover it to begin but remove foil after a while so some of the water can cook out. The sauce should end up the consistancy of BBQ sauce. Has a really good flavor. Kind of like Sweet and Sour Chicken. Even the kids like it.0 -
I understand your pain! In the last few weeks, I have been baking chicken in the oven- enough for a few days- and I just sprinkle seasonings on different parts. Half (or a third) of the pan will be cajun, the other will be something else. Its just easy for me with my limited time and get a variety of things for different days without much effort. Although I may try this whole salsa business.... its sounds yummy!0

well, not the quickest or easiest but easier than panfrying or something else!
fried but not really fried chicken breast-
rinse chicken breast(s) with water, pat dry with paper towel and smother in cooking spray (or olive oil if you've got room for the cals and fat that day)
for 'breading': on a plate or shallow bowl use a mixture of instant mashed potato flakes (about 1/4 cup)- like potato buds for example- garlic powder & rosemary or whatever spices you'd like (as heavy or light as you like on these) and smother the chicken in the potato flake/spice mixture. Once smothered to your liking spray down again with the cooking spray to just moisten everything a little
bake at 400 degrees until meat thermometer shows 170 degrees internal temp. Once the chicken's done, if it didn't already get crispy on the outside leave it under the broiler for a few minutes and the potato flakes get crunchy brown and crispy! really yummy!
I usually use the cooking spray to save calories instead of olive oil. YUMM! just had this last night and having my leftovers tonight, so a 4oz-ish chicken breast all dressed up is about 190 cals, 7 carbs, and 5 grams of fat (more of course on those stats if you use olive oil)0 -

I had an abundance of cilantro left over from making guacamole so I made a pesto out of it (almonds, parm, lemon juice). I froze it in ice cubes for later use. So now I just grill up some chicken, thaw out a cube of pesto per piece and use it on the chicken. It may not be fancy but it is quick and tasty! By the way, my recipe of cilantro pesto came out to be about 105 cals per ice cube (got about 8 cubes out of the batch).0

Cut into 2 inch strips and coat the bottom of a glass pan with olive oil. Place chicken in glass pan and season with any of your choice of basil, italian seasoning, parsley, salt & pepper, steak seasoning, or garlic powder. Bake at 350 for 20 minutes. Cut up into pieces and mix in with rice, mozzarella cheese, and peas or corn. Bake for 5-10 minutes or until cheese is melted. Yum, yum!0
