Yes, I could go to allrecipes or a cooking community and maybe I will, but I thought I'd run it past my friends first!
We have two chicken breasts in the fridge that need to get cooked. Two were used yesterday in curry, so I need a non-curry option.
I hate chicken breasts. Hate them. No matter how they're cooked, they always end up DRY DRY DRY. So please, if you have a good recipe, please share it! I'm desperate!
Note: We're stocked on most kitchen basics, so just run any recipes past me...I should be able to substitute/compensate easily enough.

(You can make it as spicy as you like - just add more cayenne pepper and use the "hot" green chilis instead of mild) It is SOOOOOO good!

3-4 chicken breasts
chicken broth or bullion cubes to make broth
2 packages of yellow corn tortillas
4 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
4 cups shredded Jack cheese

2 cans cream of chicken soup
1 tsp oregano, sage or thyme ( I usually just shake a bit of each in)
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
salt & pepper
4 chicken breasts - boil in a few cups of chicken broth until cooked and tender (or just use leftover pieces of chicken or turkey)
When chicken is done cooking, cut into chunks
Mix together:

1 tsp oregano, sage and/or thyme ( I usually just shake a bit of each in)
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper

Chop up half a big onion
Open the can of chillis
Shred the cheese, or just get the bagged cheese (don't get the super cheap cheese because it gets oily when you cook it)
In a large bowl (like corning ware caserole dish) or in two round 2 quart baking caserole dishes layer the following:
