    Low fat, low calorie & yummy!

    Salsa Chicken

    Marinate chicken breasts (as many as you need) in salsa (your preference) in a plastic storage bag. The longer you marinate the more flavorful your chicken (I usually prepare the marinade the day before I will cook.

    Throw the marinated chicken breasts on the grill and serve with your favorite rice (wild, brown, white) and vegetable. (Grilled zucchini & summer squash work great!)

    Enjoy!

    I baked chicken last nite with the cornflakes for the breading. It was DELISH!!! First time i had done it, Added a bit of parm. cheese and lemon pepper to cornflake mix - baked for about 20 minutes. Very crunchy and yummo

    This sounds good, do you know what the calorie count is for this dish?

    If you have a crockpot, 4 chicken breast, one small jar of salsa, one can black beans drained. Cook low 4-6 hours, either shred for taco/burritos or have it over brown rice. Very good.


    ooo that one sounds good...

    Slice 2-3 (I have a large family so I use 3) chicken breasts into thick strips, place in a baggie and add 3 tbsp olive oil, 3 cloves pressed garlic, kosher salt, pepper and fresh parsley. Allow to marinate for about 15 minutes. Cook in skillet (with no additional oil added) until done, abouot 5 minutes. Delish!

    Yum good thread! I do the crockpot chicken with salsa all the time...then make a Mexican salad with lettuce, chicken, beans and tiny bit of cheese.

    Oh yea, also thought I'd share my super easy and REALLY yummy BBQ sauce recipe....the molasses ups the cals a bit but using Blackstrap Molasses is much healthier for you. I averaged it out to about 70 calories of sauce per breast.

    Mix together:
    1/4 cup ketchup
    1/4 cup Blackstrap Molasses
    1 tsp mustard
    1 tsp Liquid Aminos (or soy sauce)
    1/2 tsp garlic powder

    Makes enough for 3-4 boneless skinless chicken breasts. I just put it on the breasts and grill it.
