to either throw the thread into their "my topics" to find it later, or to 'bump' it back to the beginning so more people can see it to post.

Chicken & Broccoli...
( this is my throw together recipe - no nutritional values)

1 head of broccoli - cut up - or a bag of frozen
1 pkg - boneless skinless chicken breast - (I like mine cut up, but works as a whole
1 can Cream of chicken soup - mixed with 1/2 can milk
3/4 to 1 cup bread crumbs
Parmesan or Mozzerella cheese to top - optional

Put broccoli at the bottom of 9x13 pan - put chicken in next. Mix soup & milk pour over chicken & broccoli - top with bread crumbs & cheese - bake at 350 for 30-45 minutes. (brown & bubbly) Let sit 5-10 minutes before serving.

(if I don't have bread crumbs I will mix 1 cup uncle bens brown rice with soup mix & increase milk to a full can)

another note - if it seems like alot of chicken/broccoli - add an extra can of soup to cover completely.

Dorrito Ranch Chicken

2 Bags (snack size) Nacho Cheese Dorritos
1 pkt Ranch Dressing Dip Mix
1 Egg
2 Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts

Preheat oven to 375° F. Pound chicken breasts to 1/4" thickness. In a shallow bowl, whisk egg with a little bit of water. Empty the contents of the ranch dressing dip mix into another shallow bowl. Crush dorritos in a bag with a rolling pin or heavy can or use a food processor. Place the dorritos in another shallow bowl. Coat each chicken piece in the ranch dip mix, then egg, then dorritos. Place on a greased baking sheet and cook for 12-15 minutes or until cooked through.

I make what I've named "Mediterannean Chicken"

You can design this to fit whatever calorie count you want by dialing up and down on the amounts.

In a big bowl combine:

Grape tomatoes cut in half (or chopped bit tomatoes, fresh ones)
Diced white meat chicken
Crumbled feta cheese
Walnuts
Dried basil
Olive oil
Lime or lemon juice (a fair amount, not just a dash)

Mix, mix, mix. Put into a baking dish and bake in oven at 350 degrees for about half an hour. I eat it on its own, but it could be a topper for spaghetti or rice.

Here's my favorite... I got the idea from Men's Health but kinda customized it. I usually make these two at a time in the toaster oven, but there a only two in my household.

2 boneless/skinless chicken breasts, butterflied
Garlic salt or garlic powder
Dried basil (or Italian seasoning)
Low-fat mozzarella cheese (shredded or cut thin slices from the typical 12-oz block from the grocery store.)

Once you've got the chicken butterflied, lay it "open" on your work surface, with what was the interior facing up towards you. Sprinkle the whole thing lightly with garlic salt or garlic powder, then the basil or Italian seasoning. (I am very liberal with the herbs... use as much as you like.)

Place a little cheese on one side of the butterfly, then close it back up. You'll almost have a stuffed breast.

I usually do a little more garlic salt on top, followed by more basil, to pretty things up. Bake in the oven for 15 to 20 minutes (until the juices run clear, yada yada yada).... And serve!

This usually produces the most juicy chicken breast I've ever made, and the mozzarella and the basil go together so well. Plus the extra calcium and protein in the cheese can't hurt.

I usually pair it with fresh green beans, cooked with chopped onion and a teeny bit of lemon juice with black pepper... Or if I'm feeling lazy, Uncle Ben"s garden vegetable ready rice.

HTH!

ohhhhhhh, here is the most easy and delic chicken recipe ever. Got it from a friend but modified it to be healthy.

3-4 lbs chicken breast
2 cans white beans drained and rinsed
1pt cherry tomatoes
1/4-1/5 cup white wine
salt, pepper, and garlic, to your tasting.
a few rosemary sprigs and a sprinkle of thyme (really I there isn't an amount, just go with what you like)


Place beans in a glass baking dish, add chicken on top, add wine, tomatoes then spices and cook at 350 until juices run clear. I think it took about 30 min last time I made it. This is so great the next day too! <<drool>> It's a good base for adding other things too (like bell peppers if you like them).

I never measure stuff but here goes:

4 chicken breasts
4 potatoes, cut in half
1/2 bag of baby carrots
BBQ sauce

Season the chicken with pepper on one side, meat tenderizer on the other side. I line a baking dish with Reynolds wrap, throw everything in there, and bake in oven at 350 degrees for about 20 min. I mix about 1/2 bottle of BBQ sauce with water, enough to get my desired consistency, and pour it over everything, and bake again for another 20 min or until the chicken is completely cooked through.

Sorry so vague!

There are some great ideas - I'm going to try the med one!!

Put a chicken breast on top of a piece of foil
Place minced garlic, sliced cherry tomatoes, basil, a dash of balsamic vinegar and lots of black pepper on top.
Bring the foil over it and make a loose packet then bake in the oven, I usually open the foil for the last few minutes.

Sometimes I add black olives or dried chilli flakes too!

Oh and another one is the same but place
Coriander (cilantro???) crushed ginger, chilli flakes and a 2 slices of lemon and bake in the same way.

I LOVE this one:

2 HEB leg quarters, pre seasoned (these are my absolute FAV, but you can use non seasoned leg quarters and season how you'd like)
Your fav BBQ sauce brushed on top.

Bake for 45 mins - 1 hr @ 400 degrees, or until the chicken is ready. You can take it out every 20 mins to add some more BBQ on top. I LOVE this with a big side of green beans and some brown rice and a huge salad. Hmmm...I think I'll be making this tonight!
