    Broil the chicken breast with some fajita seasoning sprinkled on. When cooked through, add taco cheese or pepper jack cheese on top of the breast meat. Return to oven until the cheese melts. Crumble up some tortilla chips and top with Salsa. My boys LOVE this!

    That sounds delicious. I am totally going to try it.

    I grill it with some salsa - serve over Spanish rice with a little cheese, lettuce, onion, tomato (think taco) and a dollop of sour cream - everyone eats it - from the 8 year old kid - to the adults.

    I like to make stuffed chicken breasts. I cut a slit the length of the breast to make a pocket, I usually put in a mixture of chopped spinach (either fresh or frozen) chopped sun dried tomatoes and some flavorful cheese like goat cheese, parmesan or feta. Brush the top with olive oil, sprinkle on some salt and pepper and bake at 350 until the chicken is cooked. You could use American cheese or mozzarella and skip the veggies for your kids.

    The chicken Piccata recipe on emilybites.com is awesome. My husband even ate the leftovers and he usually REFUSES to eat leftovers (his mother spoiled him), I am a terrible cook and I pulled it off fine in twenty minutes. Oh, I did add white wine to the sauce.

    A little different, but something I love doing: I take the chicken breast, boil it until done and throw it in a food processor (mixer or shredding by hand also will suffice). Add Walden farms ranch dressing (0 calories), hot sauce (minimal calories), half Oz fat free cream cheese (15 calories) and 1/4 cup fat free mozzarella (45 calories). Bake in my toaster oven for around 10 minutes, just enough to melt the cheese. It is like a chicken wing dip-ish texture. I eat it right with a spoon... delicious and filling for only 200-ish calories.

    If you can afford the calories, just cut the breasts up into more "finger" sized chicken bites and bake them in shake n' bake. If you don't like the shake n' bake or its too many calories, just toast/dry out 1 piece of bread, crumble it up in a ziploc and use spices like basil/sage/garlic and a bit of grated parmesan in your mix, then roll the chicken in the mix before baking.

    Makes baked chicken fingers! Mmmm nomnomnom.

    I stir fry chicken with green/red peppers and onions. some times a little jalepenos.

    I use every kind of Ms Dash seasonings and mix it up. Add cayenne here and there.

    Barbecue sauce and marinades.

    Ground chicken instead of chicken breasts.

    Turkey breast / ground turkey. Its about the same but still different.

    Add beef here and there. Use lean meats and lean ground beef. Fajitas. Stews. Grilled.Hamburger. Adding beef helped me get through all the chicken i eat.

    I do low carb so often I take chicken breast and wrap in bacon and cook and when it is cooked I top with one ounce mozzella and put back into the oven until melted.

    I'm actually making this right now. This time I put a little fresh basil paste on the chicken before the bacon.

    I also have an amazing jerk chicken recipe that I found on Pinterest but I don't know how to post the link on here :-/

    I bake mine in zesty italian dressing. Kids always ask for seconds. This is a favorite meal for camping. We will put baked potatoes in one crock pot and the chicken in a second crock pot. Throw on a veggie when we get back to camper and voila great meal.

    I dip the chicken breasts in egg, then dip them in grated Parmesan cheese, then bake them. They come really moist and tender and yummy.

    Or sometimes I will mix cream cheese and diced jalepenos and put that mixture on before I wrap it in the bacon... So so good

    Slice chicken breasts into flat pieces. Marinade chicken breast fillets in oil, cumin, sweet chilli sauce/ or chilli flakes, paprika, garlic and salt. Fry both sides in non-stick pan, serve on couscous with butter and spinach. 8 minutes

    Marinate that chicken breast in the Kens overnight and either broil or grill it the next day. Be sure to perforate the chicken with a fork before marinating. Delicious.

    FYI... I had never made the bacon mozzerella chicken with basil before (only without) and I just sat down to eat it and it is amazing!
    And so moist I can cut it with just a fork.
