Could you kids just come up with some suggestions?? I love to cook, but I have such a hard time coming up with new dinner ideas.

Chicken breast fillet, slice open the thickest part. Mix together sliced pecan nuts with fruit chutney, insert mixture into fillet.

Curl fillet up into a ball, wrap in a slice of bacon, using tooth picks to hold it together. Cook on BBQ or frying pan, 5 minutes each side.

Mix together 2 tablespoons of olive oil, lime juice, salt & pepper, sprinkle mixture over chicken during cooking.

Enjoy with salad and a nice sliced baked potato/onion/cream sauce dish!

One of my favorites and very easy:

http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/Chicken-Breasts-Stuffed-with-Goat-Cheese-and-Basil-2749

It is chicken breats stuffed with herbed goat cheese.

Or, enchiladas are always easy.

Cheese, black bean and corn or chicken. All you need are some corn tortillas, cheese, enchilada sauce, black beans, corn and fill up your tortillas, roll, put in pan, cook for about 25 minutes at 350 and done.

Salmon fillet and vegetables on the side. Pan fry, bake, grill or microwave. Very easy.

Salad with chicken.

When all else fails: Pizza

epicurious.com is one of my favorite sites!

Also Mayo Clinic has some good/healthy recipe ideas.

recipezaar.com--you can enter a few ingredients you have on hand and see what recipes you can use them for.

I love making pinto beans in my pressure cooker. I take a bag of dried beans and soak it overnight in the pressure cooker in cool water, a whole onion, a few whole cloves of garlic, a habanero (whole), and a mild pepper or two. Drain h2o in a.m. and refill with half beer, half water (8 cups liquid). Add a tablespoon of oregano. Pressure cook for half an hour. Drain most the water out and remove the garlic, peppers, onion. Add a tablespoon of peanut oil. Mash part of the beans to make it thicker. I eat them for breakfast (good w/a fried egg), lunch, dinner.....and no heating up the kitchen.

recipesecrets.net is a place that has all the restaurant recipes broken down.

It might be worth a try if you want to make something you had a PF Changs or Cheesecake Factory.

If I need a recipe I try epicurious or just type the name in google and come up with numerous hits.

The key is what do you have on hand and how much work do you feel like.

Thanks for the input guys! I forgot to mention it's 85 degrees, and I'm no way turning on the oven

The stuffed chicken breasts sound very good. Both recipes.

I made this the other night for my GF, her 8 year old son, and her 23 year old daughter. Yes, I made it from scratch and yes I am a bachelor that knows how to cook. Even the 8 year old liked it..and the daughter is on a healthy eating and enjoyed it. I found this recipe at the grocery store.

CHICKEN WITH MUSHROOM MARSALA SAUCE

Servings: 4

Prep Time: 15 min.

Cook Time: 20 min (my NOTE: I found this to take longer by 10-15 min, but I think the chicken breasts were slightly larger. Make to use a thermometer to check internal temp of chicken to 180°F.)

WHAT YOU NEED: (all quantities standard not metric)

* 4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves (about 6 oz each). (my note...probably why mine took longer..mine were a bit larger..use fresh not frozen for best results).

* 1/2 tsp salt

* 1/2 tsp ground black pepper

* 1/4 cup flour

* 4 Tbsp Olive Oil, divided

* 1 lb. small fresh white and/or crimini mushrooms sliced (about 6 c.) (MY NOTE...I was lazy and bought 2 10 oz. bags of pre sliced shrooms)

* 1/2 cup chopped onion (MY NOTE: I used a Vidalia onion since it is in season here, other wise use a Texas sweet or similarsweet onion for best taste)

* 1 c Marsala or other red wine (MY NOTE: I used Paul Masson Marsala)

* 1 c chicken broth

what to do:

1. Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Lightly coat both sides of chicken with flour.

2. In a large skillet, heat 2 Tbsp of the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add chicken; cook until golden, about 2 min each side. Transfer to a plate.

3. Reduce heat to medium. Add remaining 2 Tbsp oil to the skillet; add mushrooms and onion, cook and stir until tenderl about 7 min. Return chicken breasts to the pan; add the wine and chicken broth; simmer, until no pink remains in the center. 10-12 minutes

Watch listed times because it took me longer. Prep time is longer than stated but then again I am slow and not in a hurry.

Something you won't have to use a knife or can opener for. You are having a jinx week, Beks. Don't get burned on the stove.
