What are you making this week?
Bonus question: what would you do with two chicken breasts if you had them thawed in your fridge right now that would take an hour or less to prepare tonight?

My easy(ish) chicken ideas--
Tacos
Pan cook and then add one onion, one green pepper, garlic, a can of tomatoes, and serve over pasta.
Chicken Piccatta for two. I will PM you the Cooks Illustrated recipe.
1 pkg (8 oz) cream cheese
2 cups (8 oz) shredded Monterey Jack cheese, divided
1 medium onion (about 2/3 cup chopped)
1 can (28 oz) enchilada sauce
12 (6-in.) corn tortillas
3 cups diced or shredded cooked chicken
Additional chopped fresh cilantro leaves (optional) 1. Chop cilantro with add to cream cheese in microwavable bowl. Microwave on HIGH 30-45 seconds or until very soft. Add cilantro and 1? cups of the Monterey Jack cheese; mix well. Chop onion finely. 2. Spread 2/3 cup of the enchilada sauce over bottom of a glass pan. Pour remaining enchilada sauce into large bowl; set aside. 2. To assemble lasagna, dip four tortillas into enchilada sauce in mixing bowl and arrange over sauce in baker overlapping as necessary. Scoop half of the cream cheese mixture over tortillas and spread. Top with 1 cup of the chicken and one-third of the onion. Repeat layers one time. Dip remaining four tortillas into sauce and arrange over second layer. Top with remaining chicken and onion. Pour remaining enchilada sauce over lasagna and sprinkle with remaining ? cup Monterey Jack cheese. 4. Cover with foil and cook for 30-35 minutes (until warmed all the way through) on 350 degrees. Sprinkle with additional chopped cilantro.
