I was going to suggest something very similar, had it just the other night, but I also added some onion and bell pepper strips. It was delicious.0 -
Cut it up into chunks and sautee to make:
chicken chili
chicken curry (I love curry to use ANY veggies from the fridge before my next csa box arrives)
chicken stir-fry
chicken tacos or burritos or fajitas
spread evoo, snp and grill:
grill for 4 mins per side on med heat (depending on thickness), don't overcook or it will be dry!
grill with onions and peppers for grilled fajitas (grilled onions are the bomb!)
grill and cut up for taco salads
Chinese chicken salad! Yumm!
spread evoo and snp and bake:
put in a baking dish with some baby potatoes, zucchini, peppers. (425 ish...for 20-30 mins)
put in a casserole dish with rice, chicken broth and spices
sear in a cast iron skillet and then toss in preheated oven for a few more mins to bake through
boil for shredding into taco's, burritos and salads. Not much flavor cooking it this way.
Grill, bake, sautee, boil for chicken to put on a pizza.0 -
I like to butterfly breasts and put a sauce of some sort on them. Salsa works great. Put them in a glass pyrex, with your preferred seasonings and bake at 350 for 30 minutes...come out juicy and delicious!

CHECK OUT SKINNYTASTE.COM OR ALLRECIPES.COM ON ALLRECIPES YOU CAN TYPE IN WHATEVER INGREDIENTS YOU HAVE ON HAND AND IT WILL GIVE YOU RECIPES..... BUT FOR SOMETHING EASY AND DELICIOUS , WHAT ABOUT SHISH KEBOBS??? I MAKE MINE WITH CHICKEN, PEPPERS ONIONS, MUSHROOMS, ZUCCHINI, SQUASH AND YOU CAN USE ANY SEASONING LIKE FAJITA/CURRY/BLACKENED/SESAME-GINGER ETC... OR WITH CHICKEN/PEPPERS/PINEAPPLE IN A HAWAIIAN MARINADE SERVE WITH RICE OR BAKED OR SWEET POTATO AND LEFTOVERS ARE GREAT ON SALAD FOR LUNCH OR DINNER THE NEXT DAY0

I am lazy by nature ... so, when want something quick and easy I pour a generous amount of Italian dressing on the chicken breast and bake it for about an hour. I also put pepper flakes on it because I like it spicy! ;-)0

Use lots of herbs to make it taste great.
Some suggestions
sprinkle ground cinnamon and rosemary on chicken.
chop garlic with fat-free oil spray
Try some hot peppers chopped in the blender to make it spicy (and rev up your metabolism)
Fat Free Cheese slice
Be careful with all these sauce suggestions (Italian, soy etc). They have way too much salt and you'll also just be hungry later. Stick to natural herbs and spices for flavor (and less salt).0 -

My new fav thing to do is to butterfly the breast (or steak or chop or whatev) open like a book and then put it between two layers of plastic wrap and pound it out (using a heavy skillet or rolling pin or meat tenderizing hammer thingy) so it is really thin (1/4"ish). Then make a filling (spinach and a smidge of riccotta, mushroom and a smidge of shredded swiss, peppers and onions, use your imagination or whatever is on hand) and put some filling on one end of the meat. Roll it up, burritto style, tucking the ends in as you roll, and use toothpicks to hold it so it stays rolled. Then sear it in a little olive oil till it is nice and browned. Add some broth (or water or wine) to deglaze the pan, cover, and put the pan in the oven til the meat reaches temp (like 350 for about 15 more min.0

Filling Chicken Quesadillas (I don't ever measure anthing so add spices a little at a time and taste as you go)

This sounds fabulous!0 -
Love some chicken!!! We eat it several times per week. Sometimes we will just grill it and eat as a salad or bake it with lots of veggie sides. Now that grilling season is here (and we just replaced our grill with a new, amazing awesome grill) we like to season with garlic salt, onion powder and grill and put BBQ sauce on it while grilling.
Also, get you some KC Masterpiece Teriyaki marinade. DH sauted some chicken, red, yellow and green bell pepper and onions the other night and added this in. He then dumped in some left over brown rice. I am not a big veggie person (and I miss my General Tso's chicken) but this was the bomb. It was so good and really make that craving go away.
Slow cooker with some yellow rice and steamed broccoli.
Season with garlic and onion powder, salt and pepper. Take some Panko bread crumbs and parm cheese and dredge your chichen and bake. It gets you that fried chicken wthout all the calories.
Marinade in some italitan dressing and grill or bake.
Marinade in italian dressing and dijon mustard and grill or bake (so good)
Chicken tacos or chicken fajitas0 -
Cranberry Chicken
Sounds bad, but is really good!!!
One bottle Catalina Dressing (I use light or fat free)
One can cranberry sauce
One packet French Onion Soup Mix
Mix all together and pour over chicken and bake until chicken is cooked through. Serve over noodles or rice.0
