If someone asks me what's for dinner in the next few weeks, my likely answer will be chicken.
My in-laws somehow ended up with eight large bags of frozen chicken, and they're afraid that the chicken will develop freezer burn before they can eat all of it, so they're sharing with us. Don't get me wrong, I appreciate the free chicken, especially considering that a bag of chicken can go for between $8 to $12 at area grocery stories.
But how many ways can I fix chicken? My usual chicken recipes include Italian Chicken, a Chinese chicken, a Mexican chicken, you get the idea. Or many nights, we simply sprinkle the chicken with seasonings from the pantry and throw it on the grill. But that can get old after the fourth, fifth or 20th time in a two-week span. I've looked through some cookbooks for ideas, too, to jazz up chicken so that it's not the same-old, same-old every night.
The biggest problem is that many nights we're pressed for time with squeezing in cooking and eating dinner at home before dashing out the door for our son's baseball games or practices.
So I need quick and easy chicken recipes that won't result in our standard default of grilling (not that there's anything wrong with that, to quote a "Seinfield" saying.) Please, if you have recipes that are easy and fast, post them in the comments section. My family (and the neighbor's dog who snacks on the leftover chicken) will thank you.

I've had luck by dumping a can of Rotel canned tomatoes in with my frying chicken. The juices from the tomatoes steam into the chicken making it very tender. Add in some plain pasta and you have some zing on a normal spaghetti dish.
