    go to skinnytaste.com -- look up jalepeno popper chicken.. that wonderful recipe got me onto stuffing my pounded out chicken breasts with spinach and laughing cow light cheese stuffing..and broccoli as well. I get two skinless chicken breasts..slice them into four pieces..pound them out.. and create a wonderful stuffed rolled up chicken breast. I dredge mine in egg wash and dust with almond meal and spray with olive oil before baking....it comes out of the oven crisp and tasty..i have enough for four meals throughout the week.

    Garlic Lemon Grilled Chicken

    Place chicken breast (or wings, thighs, whatever you want to use) in a ziplock bag.
    Add in some lemon juice and minced garlic.
    Let marinate for about an hour.

    Grill until juices run clear!

    I kept the marinade and added more on as I grilled.

    Juicy and Delicious!

    put boneless chicken in the crock pot use enough Campbells 98% fat free cream of chicken,or cream of mushroom.to cover the chicken completely I only allow myself a couple of table spoons of the soup. I do not add anything else. I usually cook it about 4 to 6 hours. If you wanted to spice it up you could add to suite you taste.( Children seem to love it with out any thing added) It goes with most any veggie or pasta

    I'm not very partial to chicken breast, preferring the wing and thigh meat, even the backs over the breast. However I do like it when it is a bone-in chicken breast and I broil it.

    Today I have chicken in the oven to bake ... atop root vegetables, garlic cloves and celery. The chicken is lightly seasoned with common ingredients ... salt, pepper, chicken spices (ground green stuff) and a bit of oil on the top to crsip the skins.

    Chicken 'Francese" ... an egg dipped chicken breast in a tangy buttery sauce ...
    Saw it on www.recipe30.com

    Butterfly a chicken breast, cover with cling film and gently pound it with the back of a saucepot to flatten it out. Crack an egg into a pie plate, add a pinch of salt and some black pepper, and whisk till the egg yolk and white are evenly combined. Mince some parsley and add to theeggs, and grate in a bit of parmesean cheese, give it a stir. Set aside a a small amount of white wine, and an equal amount of chicken stock, a half lemon, some more minced parsley, and a clove of garlic. Pour some flour into a plate.

    Drizzle some oil and a pat of butter into a saute pan and set to heat on medium. Dredge the chicken through the flour, then dip into the egg mixture and add to the saute pan. Flip it over when the side down is brown and cook the other side till browned. Remove the chicken to a plate.

    Into the skillet, pour the white wine and crush the garlic (or grate or mince finely) into the pan. Squeeze the juice of half a lemon into the pan, add the chicken stocke to the pan. Add in minced parsley and another pat of butter ... let cook until the butter melts, then add the chicken back into the pan and continue to cook until warmed through. Serve the chicken with a drizzle of the pan sauce.

    I recommend shredding it up when it's done, and cooking it for a bit longer, all together in the gravy of gods. You get a better chicken/sauce ratio this way. ;)

    My favorite: Chicken, green beans, and red potatoes - I usually buy about a pound of chicken breasts, put them in the center of my glass Pyrex casserole dish, add 2 cans (strained) of french cut green beans to one side of the chicken, and about 4-5 red potatoes (diced up) on the other side. I sprinkle a packet of Hidden Valley Italian seasoning over all of it. Then I melt a stick of butter and pour it over everything. Tin foil the container. Put in a preheated oven @ 350 degrees for about 70 minutes. According to my recipes on here, it's about 547 calories for 3 servings (pretty generous amount). I make this about once a week because it's delicious and relatively lo-cal for how much it fills me up.

    This is one of my all time favorite chicken recipes and my boyfriend thought that I actually fried chicken cutlets for it: http://www.skinnymom.com/connection-recipe-skinny-chicken-parmesan-casserole/

    I also do a lot of enchiladas, jambalaya with some shrimp or sausage, tortilla soup, tortellini soup, chili, stir fry, and anything with buffalo sauce (wraps, topping baked potatoes, etc).

    I like to cook up a whole bag of boneless skinless chicken breasts and then cube it and divide it up into single meal sizes, toss it in the freezer. You can use chicken for just about anything. We love taking some chicken adding crushed tomatoes, taco seasoning, corn, black beans and quinoa and stuffing zucchinis with the mixture. Add a little shredded cheese on top. Roast in the oven til done.

    "Chicken Goo" is a favorite in our house - with the added bonus of it being a crock pot dish!

    Put all of this stuff in the crock pot in the order listed.
    2 lbs chicken breast
    2-3 cups of spinach.
    2 cups of salsa

    Cook until the chicken is done - 4ish hours on high, 6ish on low.

    Shred the chicken. Add 16 oz of sour cream (I use low fat), stir, and put the lid back on until it's warm.

    Top with cheese if you want, use as a burrito filling or eat it over rice. Or just by itself.
