    I'll add the link with this one, as it's got so many other chicken ideas that are low fat you might enjoy. Most of these recipes are from ones I've saved and made. I typically save the link for when I share so you'll have a photo to look at. I used to know how to do photo's on here.:ohwell: Lowfatcooking.about.com is a great site for all sorts of healthy ideas :)

    This a is a great way to use leftover chicken or rotisserie chicken. These creamy enchiladas are quick and easy to make. It's comfort food with a fraction of the fat.

    1/2 cup sweet corn
    1 cup medium or hot salsa
    1 cup plain low fat yogurt
    1/2 cup reduced fat sour cream
    1/2 cup reduced fat shredded Jack cheese
    Preparation:
    Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
    Coat an 8-inch by 8-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. Warm tortillas according to instructions on package.

    Combine shredded chicken with black beans and sweet corn. Mix salsa, yogurt and sour cream and spoon half the salsa mixture into the chicken, beans and corn. Blend well.

    Divide chicken mixture among the tortillas. Carefully roll tortillas and place them seam down in the baking dish. Spoon remaining salsa mixture over the tortillas. Sprinkle cheese on top. Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes.

    Moroccan Stewed Chicken http://recipes.womenshealthmag.com/Recipe/moroccan-stewed-chicken.aspx
    I used real tomatoes to cut down on the sodium and didn't add salt and pepper and my hubby said it was good except it needed more salt, can't please everyone I guess :)

    Crockpot fajitas:
    boneless skinless chicken breasts and fajita seasoning (I use a homemade no salt recipe I found at cooks.com)
    put all together in the crockpot on low for 6-8 hours. Shred the chicken when you get home and saute some veggies to go with it.

    Crockpot BBQ chicken:
    boneless skinless chicken and BBQ sauce. put in crockpot on low for 6-8 hours and shred when you get home.

    I also make a stir fry with cut up or shredded chicken and add 1 can coconut milk and curry powder. Yum!
