If it's chicken breast you could make Chicken parmesan.
here's a favorite and easy recipe I love to make when my neices and nephews come over and they LOVE it. The original recipe is called Bar-b-cups (because of the bbq sauce) but sometimes I make it with chicken and call them 'Ken' cups, ya know like 'barbie' and 'ken'. They like it when we call it that. Any way here it is . . .
The real recipe calls for 1 pound of ground beef but like I said, I've used chicken
And, I've made it so many times I don't know the exact measurements, as I just eyeball it.
Shred your chicken with a fork after you've cooked it through (either cook it whole and shred it afterwards or dice it up small and cook it)
Saute it with a small chopped onion, 1 or 2 cloves of garlic pressed, and a little oil. Add about 1 cup of bbq sauce, about 1/4 cup packed brown sugar. When the sugar is dissolved and everything is incorporated add about 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese and mix thoroughly.
Preheat your oven to biscuit directions.
Flatten each biscuit and press into regular size muffin cups. Scoop chicken (or beef) mixture into each biscuit well and top with a little cheese. Bake according to biscuit directions. The biscuits will fill out and the meat will be inside the biscuit. It's so yummy.

They guys are on their own to fend for themselves, I think BF said tonight is McDonalds for them. I'm grabbing a quick salad, then we are caucusing tonight at work. I have to be there, so I'm not cooking. I'll be so happy when tonight is over and we won't have to worry about jobs anymore, or lets hope!
