Best Chicken Recipes

Tell me your best, easiest recipes for chicken, steak or shrimp?

I prefer recipes with ingredients that I already have in my home(basic seasonings, onions, peppers, etc.) I'd rather not have to go out and buy a bunch of ingredients/spices that I probably won't use that often. Thanks!!!
