There are lots of good things to do with chicken breast. You can make
chicken fingers, either fried or oven fried. You cut it into think
slices, maybe even pound them out, and make something like chicken
piccata. You can make a curry with coconut milk and cilantro. You can
marinate it in olive oil and lemon juice with some garlic and oregano
and grill it, or cut it into cubes and make slouvaki.

The trick to chicken breast seems to be to season with enough salt and
then cook it until it is just done. It's not good rare, and when it is
overcooked it is dry and tasteless.
