Butterfly them, cut them in half into filets, and pound them flat with a mallet. You can then lightly dust them in flour and seasoning and make a variety of pan fried chicken dishes in simple pan sauces, such as Chicken Marsala, Chicken Franchaise, and Chicken Picatta. These go great with some mashed potatoes, and the pan sauce helps keep the chicken from drying out.
Or you could butterfly them, but leave them whole, with the intent of making stuffed chicken breasts. You could make a traditional Chicken Cordon Bleu with ham and swiss, or a Chicken Kiev with an herbed butter filling. Both are breaded then lightly pan fried.
We used to sell a great grilled chicken pita wrap at a restaurant I worked for. It's a warmed pita bread, spread with a sun-dried tomato mayo, diced cucumber, black olives, diced tomato, romaine lettuce and grilled chicken. Wrap it up in some wax paper or foil to keep it all together, and cut it in half to serve.
You could also grill them, cut them into strips, then slice a large loaf of french bread and arrange the chicken with other stuff like sauteed spinach, mozarella cheese, hot pepper rings, whatever, then put the top of the bread back on, wrap it all up in foil and bake it in the oven until the center is hot and heated through. Then slice into portions.
