Most of the dishes I make with skinless chicken breasts involve
pre-cooking by either pan frying until golden brown or grilling. Thin
sliced is nice used in wraps and thicker sliced on top of Caesar salad.
Quite often I will make them quite similar to how Peter mentioned
except I don't flatten them and I add sauteed mushrooms to the gravy. A
quick tip if you want to enjoy a wrap or salad but don't feel like
cooking - prepare 2 or three of the chicen breasts as desired, cool,
then freeze in a ziploc bag. Use as needed.

We like the chicken breast done in a mushroom sauce and served with rice
or broad egg noodles. I just lightly brown the chicken breasts and
deglaze the pan. Then I saute mushrooms and return the chicken breasts
to the pan. I pour a can of mushroom soup mixed with 1/2 can of milk
over the chicken and mushrooms. This is then simmered until the sauce
is thick.
