    Here are a few ways:

    - Slice it thin, hammer it out and pan sear / grill / bake it with a little sea salt and pepper and do a mushroom duxelle with tarragon over it and a mustard sauce (chicken stock / mustard/ honey if desired)

    - Grill it with some garlic, and add a splash of fresh lemon juice.

    - Saute it up with a tbsp of organic peanut butter, some chilies, and some chicken stock with a splash of lime for some chicken satay.

    - Bake it in the over and coat it with sriracha sauce (HOLY CRAP GOOD)

    - Grilled Chicken Fajitas (Grill the onions, peppers, and chicken all at the same time)

    - Decomposed Chicken Pot Pie: Take chicken breast and braise it in chicken stock, add in sugar snap peas, baby carrots, and sweet potatoes and cook until tender. In a bowl mix xanthan gum or arrow root flour with almond, grass fed milk, or coconut milk and make a roux. Mix that into the chicken stock after it has cooked the chicken and simmer until cooked. Take a gluten free biscuit, cut it in half and pour the chicken and vegetable sauce over it. Top with Sea Salt / Pepper to Taste

    - Sauteed Thinly Sliced chicken breast with Kale, Garlic, and Pineapple or Mango. Simmer with a little bit of water or white wine. Top with a small pinch of nutmeg and sea salt.

    Message me if you ever need anything. I add people in case they want advice.

    yesterday I marinaded some chicken breasts in Italian dressing and garlic powder and grilled them on the Foreman. It wasn't bad but I didn't let the chicken sit in the marinade for long enough because I was hungry and was probably going to start eating some junk instead of dinner.

    the easiest simplest thing i do with chicken breast is season them with salt & pepper, chop and add garlic, onions, any herbs of your choice, coat in olive oil. just enough olive oil to lightly coat the chicken, and then i bake it in a baking pan. the chicken comes out flavorful and juicy. it takes no time to bake and it freezes well. as far as making it a full meal, i might add a serving of pasta with this chicken w/ some tomato sauce. also, i might eat this chicken with rice and a veg or potatoes and a veg. its my go to-easy thing to do with chicken breast.

    I like to pound them flat, brown them un a skillet and put them in the crockpot topped with peach mango salsa or corn and black bean salsa and cook on low in the crockpot for about 6 hrs. Sometimes in the last hour, I will dump rice on top. Other times, no rice but will shred and put on a tortilla with cheddar and small amount of FF sour cream.
