Kievs. I tend to use one of these 2 methods

The second ones come out crispier but use a lot of oil.

+1 for home made kievs!
as an alternative I create a few pockets in the breast & squirt a little tomato puree in then add a slice of motzarella (I prefer the motzarella for pizzas as its less watery) & some sliced onion. I've previously thrown a load of just defrosted frozen spinach on this which can then be used as a bed for it.
generally the more pockets the moister the chicken stays, & of course you could always wrap a slice of bacon round the chicken breast too

Butter a smallish oven proof dish,seal breasts in a hot pan and transfer to dish,fill dish with cream until 2/3's the way up the breasts and ripe some fresh tarragon,(dry will do)over the top,loosely cover with tinfoil,20/25 mins in a medium to hot oven taking the foil off for the last 10 mins. serve with mash.
Other than the stuffing of breasts, Pesto, Sun Dried Tomatoes, Cheese, Sage & Onion, other various fillings then wrapped in Bacon or Parma Ham, how about marinading them? Coke (full fat) will make them crispy & sweet, a regular here is in Worcester Sauce with Nandos Peri Peri marinade & black Pepper. Then serve with Rice, Steamed Veg, Salad, Cous Cous, Roasted Vegetables...
Probably too late now, (and frankly I'd go down the stuffing route if I had the ingredients) but simple grilled (juuuust cooked enough so still tender) chicken with lots of freshly squeezed lemon and salt/pepper, some home made mayo and some kind of greenage between 2 slices of very fresh bread can be fecking ace.
In the end Mrs. SVX went for the bar of soap (

Actually I stuffed the breasts with bulgar wheat mixed with spices and a little harissa paste. I wrapped them in foil and cooked in a hot oven for 20 mins, before resting and colouring in a pan. Served with a warm butter bean, chilli and garlic salad, mixed leaves, wholemeal pitta and plain yoghurt and mint dip.
T'was rather nice.
