I have chicken breasts and rice. Any interesting ideas for dinner?

I've got chicken breasts, rice, and a not particularly large number of other basic ingredients. I don't want to do a chicken and rice casserole (unless you have a particularly amazing recipe for one), or a stir fry, but I'm just completely lacking inspiration. Plain ol' baked/sauteed chicken and regular rice doesn't sound very good, I need something new. Inspire me!

    Yeah I have one!! I'll go step by step ok?

    1. Cook the chicken breasts for 40-50 minutes with the oven on 350°

    2. Start cooking the rice as you usually would

    3. When the chicken is done cover it in a think layer of butter and olive oil (I know this sounds gross but it tastes amazing!) and put some of the rice on top of it, let it cool, the rice will stick/stay on the chicken after about 5 minutes of cooling.

    4. Put some lemon juice on the chicken and rice for some flavor

    5. You should add only a little of pepper or a lot depending on how you like it

    6. Now put some chives or cilantro in the rice, mix it around we'll

    7. Enjoy!!

    1/4 cup water

    4 tsp. curry powder

    I'm thinking of grabbing a pizza or some Taco Bell on my way home. If I were you, I would probably either order out or have a Chinese person come over and help you prepare something delicious with rice.

    Source(s): I know some Chinese people and they can make anything out of rice. Also, I eat out a lot so you can do it with very little ingredients at home.

    Sounds like a nice Indian dinner to me.

    Chicken Masala:

    There are lots of recipes, just find one with ingredients you have on hand. You could also make Chicken Vindaloo.
