Chicken Breasts

serves as many as you'd like

This is my fall back dinner. When I was pregnant, Dave would get a chicken breast with some kind of topping, no side, for dinner at least three times a week. It was not a shining moment in my culinary history. The nice thing is that everyone can fix their own if you have individual baking dishes. Some days, we have "Fix Your Chicken" days and each person can suit his or her own cravings for that meal.

Chicken breasts (number depends on people you are feeding)
Topping (salsa, BBQ sauce, Italian dressing, chopped tomatoes, spaghetti sauce, whatever your mood)
Cheese (cheddar, monterey jack, feta, parmesan, depends on the topping you choose)

Turn the oven on to around 350.
Take a pan big enough to barely fit your chicken breasts. Sometimes I remember to spray it with Pam or grease it with butter.
Place chicken in the pan without overlapping.
Dump topping on top.
Cover and cook for around 30-35 minutes.
Remove cover and sprinkle with cheese.
Bake until cheese is melted.
