Collection of Chicken Recipes

So I bought a whole bunch of chicken breasts yesterday and want to do something more with them than just throwing them in a pan to fry. Hence a collection of various, simple chicken recipes. I think I'm going to try to combine some of these and update with my completed recipe after I cook it and see how it is.
