What do you guys make with chicken breast?

dangerousmezzo

I am craving Souvlaki Chicken Breasts right now. Marinate chicken breasts in olive oil, garlic, salt, pepper, oregano and some lemon juice. I bake them at 400F in a convection oven for 10 minutes, flip then, bake for 15 minutes more -- they are juicy and full of flavour! Argh! I want one!

I absolutely love McCormick white chicken chili.

Feista chicken chili

3 chicken breasts
1 can black beans drained
1 can corn drained
1 can diced tomatoes
1 jar of salsa

Throw in the crock pot for 3.5 hours high or 5 hours low.

Pull out the breasts and shred them with two forks and toss the meat back in, stir making sure all the shreded chicken is covered, cook uncovered on high for another 30 mins, serve with a dollop of low cal sour cream and a crumble of tortilla chips on top.

I normally get 6 serving out of this and its about 320 cal per serving depending on what salsa you use.

Sounds really good

I make either bbq chicken or get some of that Perdue chicken at the store and put seasonings on it then cook it in the crockpot.

I make dairy free homemade chicken pot pit, with bottom crust and a few layers of phyllo dough. I simmer the chicken in Kitchen Basics chicken soup stock ( best out there in my opinion), take the chicken out cut it into small bite size chunks, take the broth and make a rue with a little bit of oil flour and cornstarch, salt, pepper, and incorporate the broth. when broth is thickened I put it in a bowl, and add the chicken, frozen carrots and peas, and frozen corn. Sometimes I put in bite size potatoes, one potato for split between two pies. My son is on a diet to gain weight and is allergic to dairy, so its a challenge to feed him and myself. The phyllo dough I add on top is about maybe 100 calories because of the way it is cut, not full sheets. I take spray oil and spray it on a brush and lightly coat it. The pies will last us about 3 days ( my son wolfs it down, lol).

I always throw my extra onion and peppers in chunks in the freezer, I decided one day to throw them in the food processor and it was amazing the type of paste it made. So I added that mixture with garlic, and processed carrots ( my son is not a fan of chunks), and sauteed it in the spray canola oil for about 5 mins, cut the chicken up in little tenders. and pan cooked it. I added sweet baby rays bbq sauce ( not too much) it was amazing. Not sure why, but the freezing of the peppers and onions makes it come out different. I serve it with either sweet potato or brown rice, and broccoli sauteed with garlic and light soy sauce.

I use chicken breast a lot. I stir fry it with a little bit of coconut oil, veggies, soy sauce, cayenne pepper and peanut butter. I also marinate it with italian seasonings, or with a strawberry balsamic vinaigrette and grill it. I also make it in a crock pot with rice, veggies, herbs, and chicken stock. I like seasoning it with herbs and grilling it in strips for Ceaser salads. Lots of great ways to use it.

Chicken filets. I get them from the butcher counter so I can get only 1 or 2.
Salt and pepper
Rolled up with a leaf or two of spinach or basil , turkey pepperoni, half a string cheese
Secured with toothpicks
Bake at 350 for about 30 minutes. Temp at 165 degrees and cheese is oozing.

Options:
1. Egg wash chicken roll ups top with seasoned bread crumbs or Parmesan cheese
2. Top with marinara sauce before cooking
3. Sprink roll ups with paprika (makes them a nice color and adds flavor)

Really easy and fast. Depending on what up do to the roll up, pretty enough for guest.

Yesterday I cooked up onions, peppers, garlic, zucchini, salsa and mexican seasoning until tender, tossed in some pre-cooked chicken breast, and ate it as burritos. The nice thing about chicken breast is that it's versatile, you can cook it ahead of time and add it to things later on.

Chicken breast: Thaw it, chop it, cook it, eat it. The thawing is to make the chopping possible.. The chopping is to hasten the cooking and ease the eating. The cooking is to make safe the eating. The eating is the whole point of it.

Whatever you are making, it would probably taste better if you used boneless skinless chicken thighs. Chicken breast are just so bland and dry.

I use Guy's BBQ sauce. It's 10 cals for 2tbsp and it's amazing. With a toasted English muffin and 2 laughing cow cheese wedges this meal is slightly less than 400 cals.

I'm looking for healthy lunch recipes with chicken breast. How do you guys meal prep with it? Something under 400 calories.

I usually add pieces of chicken to soup or to rice & beans.

For the carved pieces with skin, I'll put a piece into containers on top of roasted vegetables (I don't recommend this with skinless chicken breast though- it will be too dry on re-heating).

For the boneless, skinless chicken breast, I've also boiled/steamed it before and done chicken salad.

if youve eaten as much chicken as me you get so tired of it, so I use a light coating of shake and bake, theres a bunch of flavors and it helps tremendously and doesnt change much on my macros

I throw some chicken breasts in the iron skillet along with a tablespoon of olive oil. Cook on both sides until done, remove breasts from skillet. Add 1/4 cup of balsamic vinegar to the skillet to deglaze it, add about 3 minced garlic cloves and cook until it smells good- maybe a minute. Add a pint of grape tomatoes that I've halved and cook until the tomatoes are tender. Add a tablespoon or so of basil. Put the breasts back in, top each with a slice of mozzarella cheese. Cover the whole thing until the cheese is melted. Yummy!!!

I love fried chicken in coconut oil & minced garlic to put on white rice with salsa and melted cheeses. But this past week, I have cut out dairy, sugars, processed foods, junk food...

Baked basil, lemon, garlic chicken breast with Black Hinode rice and Jasmine brown rice combined(1/2 cup each). Add a bit of fat free feta(1/4 cup) to top the chicken and reduced sodium soy sauce to the rice. Bam!

Braised chicken breast with leeks is good. It can be made in a slow cooker and the vegetables help keep the chicken moist. Another good slow cooker dish is chicken breast with artichoke hearts and mushrooms.

2. Ground all white meat chicken sautéed veggies, spices, tomato purée and cauliflower rice. Sautéed it all together. I also change out the ground chicken for extra lean ground beef.

Alfredo sauce with fettuccine noodles.

Breaded and cooked in the Actifry. I'll bread and "fry" potato wedges at the same time. Spiced with paprika.

I made this ginger garlic sauce and it was awesome. I used cider vinegar instead of rice vinegar to no harm. It would be just as awesome over chicken.

If you get tired of rice, pasta, and potatoes there is always wraps, yams and quinoa.

I like to shred my chicken breast and add sweet baby Ray's buffalo sauce. Cook it in the Crock-Pot. I serve it over brown rice. Shredded chicken with seasoning (chili powder,cumin etc.) and peppers (green, red, jalapeno etc.) for tacos. Put on a corn tortilla with some salsa is also good!
