Need Simple Chicken Recipes

TuesdayPlans

I have some chicken breasts thawing and need some simple chicken recipes. I usually will just use a lawry's marinade and throw on grill (but high sodium). Looking for other grill or baked ideas with simple ingredients.

Cut 2/3 slits in the chicken, mix a little olive oil with some lemon juice, paste onto the chicken, then sprinkle over some jerk seasoning, then grill or bake, brush over with oil/juice mix if necessary. Can be made as spicy or plain as you like, so suitable for palates. Absolutely yummy served with a pineapple (or mango) salsa.

My favourite creamy curry!

Ingredients:
Chicken or turkey breast (I used 110g of turkey breast)
Chopped fresh ginger (I used about half a tablespoon)
Chopped garlic clove
5ml (about a teaspoon) extra virgin olive oil
50g green beans
30g low fat mascarpone cheese
2 chopped spring onions
5g (about a teaspoon) Thai green curry paste
20g smooth peanut butter
A teaspoon of dried coriander
Salt and pepper

Directions:
1. Heat olive oil on a pan, finely chop the garlic and ginger and cut the turkey breast into chunks, fry until slightly golden
2. Turn down the heat, add in mascarpone, peanut butter and Thai green curry paste, season with salt and pepper and add water until your sauce has the desired consistency (I like mine quite thick)
3. Simmer and add the green beans when the turkey is nearly cooked through
4. When the turkey is cooked, stir in the dried coriander and chopped spring onions. Serve!

I buy boneless, skinless breasts - usually two or three per package depending on size. Either way, I use two teaspoons of extra virgin olive oil on the whole batch, brushed on, then I sprinkle with garlic powder, onion powder, pepper, and cayenne pepper, and usually paprika, and will sometimes add cumin, curry powder, and/or turmeric. I stopped using garlic salt - even though it wasn't much sodium, I have high blood pressure and need to limit it whenever possible. However, it usually worked out to only 60 grams per serving, so it's not a big deal and does taste good. Bake at 375 for 30 to 40 minutes depending on thickness of breasts - it's always juicy and spicy.

I pound the breasts thin then sautée in Pam/olive oil. Take chicken out of pan and add 1/4 cup of sugar-free raspberry jam and 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar to pan. Use spatula to mix for 2 minutes. Reheat chicken in sauce and serve. It is yummy and easy. Can substitute maple syrup for the jam

This is my kind of cooking!

Here's my 'couldn't be simpler' recipe for Garlic Chicken:

Melt some butter and add some minced garlic.
Dip the cutlets in that, then bread crumbs.
Roll or tuck the ends under and bake.

(I spoon any extra garlic butter over the top to help them get crispy.)

1/4-1/3 cup each of dijon mustard and honey, add in rosemary or thyme and fresh cracked pepper. Pour over chicken and bake - it's awesome. We like to do it with boneless skinless chicken thighs.

I put a bunch of baby spinach bottom of pan. Like a whole bag. then lay breasts ontop of spinach, put layers of sliced tomato on top. sprinkle with salt, pepper, garlic power to taste, and about 1/4 cup of parm cheese enough to coat top and bake. It's yummy.

Also have a few on this board I've tried and all came out great. I suck at cooking in general. https://www.pinterest.com/sadiebrawl/healthy-food/

What a great and tasty idea!

My go to us
Chicken breast, basil, garlic (I use a lot), black pepper, black olives a can of tomatoes. Cover & bake for around 30 minutes. The sauce can be thickened if you like by simmering on the pan but I just serve it with bread or rice as it comes out of the oven. Simple, delicious, and I've made this for 16 people in less than an hour.

Last night for dinner I took 4 chicken breasts and sliced them up, then fried them with corn and green beans. I then took that and combined it with a couple cans of Campbell's Chunky Chicken, Broccoli & Rice soup, and threw in a handful of cheddar cheese. Poured it into a pan and baked it for 30 minutes.

It fed 8 people and was less than 500 calories per serving.

I do something similar to this but use honey.
