I'm looking for a meal to make for dinner tonight involving chicken. I've had so much of the same thing lately, chicken curry, lemon chicken, sweet and sour etc so I'm looking for something new. Not necessarily low cal, can go up to about 700 cals but the healthier the better still 
Anybody got any tasty recipes to share?

Sprinkle chicken with salt, pepper, garlic and herb seasoning (or your seasoning of choice, I just love that), dredge in a flour/bread crumb mixture, and sautee in butter or olive oil until cooked and browned on the outside. It's tasty, juicy, crispy and delicious! You can do this with pretty much any variety of flavors--lemon and rosemary is also really good! I usually add veggies (onions, peppers, broccoli, whatever is around) to the sautee pan as well. It's my go-to chicken dish and haven't gotten a complaint yet!0

Honey Chicken Stir-Fry.... I LOVED it over some rice.
1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1 inch pieces
1 garlic clove, minced
3 teaspoons olive oil, divided
3 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1 package (16 oz) frozen broccoli stir-fry vegies
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1 tablespoon cold water
In large nonstick skillet, stir fry chicken and garlic in 2 teaspoons oil. Add honey, soy sauce, salt and pepper. Cook and stir until chicken is lightly browned and juices run clear. Remove and keep warm.
In same pan, stir-fry vegies in remaining oil for 4-5 minutes or until tender. Return chicken to the pan, stir to coat. Combine cornstarch and cold water until smooth, gradually stir into chicken mixture. Bring to a boil, cook and stir for 1 minute or until thickened. Serve with rice.

I love Pesto chicken!!! Just take chicken breast and coat it with pesto sauce and bake at 400 for about 25-30 minutes.
Oh and make SURE you put foil covering the pan or it will never come off the pan
And you can also put a little cheese on the chicken after about 25 min of cooking and place back in the oven until the cheese is melted.0 -
Cut up the chicken into little chunks..Get an envelope of Taco seasoning (My favorite is the Taco Bell one)...add envelope of seasoning (1 envelope for a lb of chicken) and shake...then bake it or steam it...slightly higher on the sodium end, but low cal...add some Fat Free Sour Cream or some type of ranch and some hot sauce..and you've got Buffalo Chicken0

One of my family favs is salsa chicken. . I don't add the sour cream....I serve it with sour cream, salsa and avacados on the side, each person can garnish to their specific taste.
Ingredients
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 cup salsa
1 package reduced sodium taco seasoning
1 can reduced fat cream of mushroom soup (condensed)
1/2 cup reduced fat sour cream
Directions
Add chicken to slow cooker.
Sprinkle taco seasoning over chicken.
Pour salsa and soup over chicken.
Cook on low for 6 to 8 hours.
Remove from heat and stir in sour cream.
Serve with rice.0 -
Cook chicken breast (we usually do 4) in a non-stick pan. Remove from pan. Mix in 1/2 cup of orange juice, a tbsp or two of brown sugar, and cinnamon, garlic powder, and ground ginger. Cook until syrupy, stirring well to mix in any crusty bits from the pan. Put the chicken back in the pan and turn to cover well with the sauce.
We serve this with rice pilaf studded with almonds and craisins. So delicious!0 -
