I got this recipe about 10 years ago from a magazine ad for Hidden Valley Ranch. Very simple and good!
Servings: 4
1 packet (1 oz) Hidden Valley Ranch Dressing mix
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Combine dressing mix, oil, and vinegar in a ziploc bag. Add chicken and shake, working mixture into meat. Marinate 1 hour.
Broil chicken approximately 10-14 minutes total, turning once.
I love to cook and want to fill my recipe box with "I want to make this again" recipes! I have a lot of cookbooks and recipes from magazines, the newspaper, and the internet that all sound delicious. I am finally starting to make these dishes and my goal is to have a recipe box full of good, tried and true recipes. These are the ones that I will definitely make again. If you try something you found here, let me know what you thought of it!

Salt and pepper
3 tablespoons vegetable oil

Seared Chicken with Sun-Dried Tomato Sauce
This recipe was very easy and good! I got this recipe from a cookbook I have, titled "Robin to the Rescue: Quick & Simple Recipes for Delicious Home Cooking" by Robin Miller. Robin has a show on the Food Network. This is the first recipe I've made from this cookbook and I look forward to trying more.
Total time: 16-18 minutes
Prep time: 10 minutes
Active cooking time: 6-8 minutes
Serves 4
1 cup drained oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes, plus 1 tablespoon oil from the jar
4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
3 cloves garlic, peeled
1/4 cup chopped fresh basil
Heat the sun-dried tomato oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season both sides of the chicken with salt and pepper and add to the hot pan. Cook until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side.
Meanwhile, in a blender, combine the sun-dried tomatoes, broth, and garlic and process until smooth. Add the sauce to the chicken, bring to a simmer, and let simmer until the chicken is cooked through, about 2 minutes.
Remove from the heat, sprinkle with the basil, and serve.
Suggestions from Robin:
Make it a meal kit: Season the chicken. Make the sun-dried tomato sauce. Store each separately in sealable containers or plastic bags for up to 3 days in the refrigerator or up to 3 months in the freezer. Thaw the chicken overnight in the refrigerator (I don't recommend thawing it in the microwave) and the sauce in the microwave for 4 to 6 minutes on LOW. When ready to finish the meal, cook the chicken as directed and add the sauce.
Bank a batch: Make a double batch of the entire meal and store for up to 5 days in the refrigerator or up to 3 months in the freezer. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator or in the microwave for 4 to 6 minutes on LOW. Reheat in the microwave for a few minutes on HIGH.
Morph it: Make a double batch of the sun-dried tomato sauce and use it as a topping for grilled or baked fish, turkey or beef burgers, or pasta. Reheat in a small saucepan or in the microwave for a few minutes on HIGH.

Chicken and Rice with Broccoli and Cheddar
I thought this dish was delicious (and I am not a broccoli fan!). This recipe is from a cookbook titled, "The Best 30-Minute Recipes" from the editors of Cook's Illustrated.
Serves 4
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Salt and pepper
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 onion, minced
1 1/2 cups instant white rice
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 1/2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 (10 oz) package frozen broccoli florets, thawed
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 teaspoon Tabasco
1. Pat chicken dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper. Dredge chicken in flour to coat and shake off excess. Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until just smoking. Brown chicken well on one side, about 5 minutes. Transfer chicken to plate and set aside.
2. Add remaining oil to skillet and return to medium-high heat until shimmering. Add onion and 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in rice and garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
3. Stir in broth, scraping up any browned bits. Nestle chicken into rice, browned side up. Cover and cook over medium-low heat until liquid is absorbed and thickest part of chicken registers 160 degrees on instant-read thermometer, about 10 minutes.
4. Transfer chicken to clean plate. Off heat, gently fold broccoli, 1/2 cup of cheddar, and Tabasco into rice and season with salt and pepper to taste. Sprinkle remaining 1/2 cup cheddar over top, cover, and let sit until cheese melts, about 2 minutes. Serve with chicken.
Got extra time?
If you don't have instant rice or if you would like to use long-grain rice, follow this method:
Sustitute 1 1/2 cups long-grain rice and increase broth to 4 1/2 cups. When tranferring chicken to plate in step 4, brush any rice off chicken back into skillet, then cover and continue to cook rice over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until liquid has been absorbed and rice is tender, about 15 minutes. Then add broccoli and cheddar off heat and continue with recipe as directed.

Chicken Provencale
I can't remember where I got this recipe, but it was definitely from a magazine (I have a color picture). I thought it was good, but I wasn't planning on keeping the recipe. However, my then-husband thought it was absolutely delicious and told me to make it again sometime. He was literally licking his chops! LOL! He ate leftovers the next evening and, when he was done he said again that it was delicious. So, there you go!
4 servings, Prep Time 10 min, Cook Time 50 min
8 small or 3 medium yellow-fleshed potatoes, such as Yukon gold, halved (quartered if medium)
4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
Salt and pepper
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
28-oz can diced tomatoes
1/2 cup nicoise or other brine-cured black olives, chopped
2 tablespoons drained capers
Preheat oven to 350. In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the potatoes until just tender, 15 to 20 minutes; drain.
While the potatoes cook, season the chicken with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking. Add the chicken breasts and cook, turning, until browned, about 3 minutes on each side. Transfer to a large casserole dish.
Add the garlic to the skillet and cook, stirring, until golden, about 30 seconds. Add the tomatoes and their juice and simmer over low heat until the liquid is reduced, 10 to 15 minutes. Add the olices and capers and season to taste with salt.
Scatter the potatoes over the chicken and pour the tomato mixture on top. Bake until the chicken is cooked through, about 25 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a cutting board and slice on an angle. Spoon some sauce and potatoes onto each plate and top with chicken.
