    Someone sent me this recipe in 2007.

    Crockpot chicken and stuffing

    2 Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
    salt and pepper
    2 cans cream of chicken or mushroom soup
    1 and 1/4 C.water
    4 T. melted butter
    1 6 oz.pkg stove top stuffing


    Grease crockpot, place chicken in bottom
    Salt and pepper to taste
    Top with soup
    Mix remaining ingredients and spoon over top.

    Cook on low 4 hours, or until chicken juices run clear.
    You will have enough sauce leftover for mashed potatoes. If you don't want that, simply omit 1 can of the soup.

    Make shift Chicken Parmesan :) I dip my chicken in Parmesan and bake 30 min's at 350 covered. Take cover off and brown top for 5-10 mins and serve with homemade tomato spaghetti sauce.

    Marinate chicken in Italian dressing for a few hours. My mom grills it and I'm gonna try baking it sometime. :)

    One of my favorites is marinating the chicken breasts in greek yogurt, garlic powder, paprika, tumeric, and cayenne pepper. Throw it on the grill the next day with some red bell peppers, onions and sliced tomatoes. Sometimes I eat this with quinoa or just like that.

    We have a new family favorite from skinnytaste. Its dijon and lime chicken thighs but we use boneless skinless chicken breast, Its a Paula Dean make over.. Very low caloire and very very yummy. I always like it with a baked sweet potato. Its hard to get out of the rut of cooking something the same way.

    Good luck!

    PS....I've made it with lime juice and it taste great. I've also added minced garlic

    I dice mine up, mix it with heart healthy spaghetti sauce, some whole wheat penne pasta (mini ones), bake it in the oven on 350 with a little reduced fat cheese on the top :) YUM!!

    bake plain chicken breast....Let it cool....Cut it into chunks and shred it...Then sautee in a pan with a marinade (my favorite is Spicy Mango by KC Masterpeice)...for every 2 ounces of chicken, I use 1 Tbsp of Marinade..VERY FLAVORFUL!

    I usually serve this with a little brown rice and/or veggies.

    I see a lot of packaged sauces and unnecessary calories in many entries here. How about this simple, delicious, and low-calorie option?

    1. Slice thicker sections of chicken breast down to where it's all more uniform thickness, and cook the sliced-off pieces separately.)

    2. Coat chicken pieces with onion powder and garlic salt (or your favorite seasonings).

    3. Brown over medium heat in a small amount of veg oil or olive oil, and cook only until no longer pink. (i.e. moist chicken is much better than overcooked chicken!)

    4. Off heat, spread chicken with a light layer of dijon mustard, mixed with a little honey if you like.

    Delicious, and leftovers can be mixed up with almost anything.

    I cut it up into chunks, then bake or fry them, then add TONS of black better. Then put the chunks into rice. Easy to heat up for my lunches on the go.

    My absolute favourite way is to bbq them....coated with plain old yellow mustard and then sprinkle with paprika...they turn out so moist and tasty...we bbq them a bit then brush on the mustard(on both sides) and then sprinkle as much paprika as you like...takles about 20 minutes....serve with salad or bbq'd veggies for easy clean up! - enjoy!

    Chicken can be made so many different ways. Chicken satay, butter chicken, chicken biryani, chicken strips, chicken sandwhiches....last night I made a really great recipe of chicken, mushrooms, sour cream, topped with kale and almond pesto (it's in my blog ^_^).

    I throw it in the crock pot and make taco meat, or chili, or white chili.
    I sautee it up in cubes for casseroles or stir frys.
    I bake it. I sometimes bread it.
    I serve it pasta, rice, veggies, salads, quonia, cous cous, etc.
    I eat a ton of chicken. I've ground it to use anywhere I would use ground beef.

    coconut chicken breast:
    - minced garlic, shredded coconut, and a little olive oil: mix together (do ratio to your taste but don't be scared of the garlic, and don't add too much oil, just enough that the bits stick together not enough that it's super wet)
    - plain chicken breast, no skin
    - spread the coconut mix out onto the chicken breast with a teaspoon (it doesn't have to be thickly spread)
    - bake, about 30 mins
    Really good hot or cold, you can even chuck it in a ziplock bag & take it with you on the go, eat with some veges and you have a meal ready just like that. I think it tastes nice, and so does my husband. He reckons that it reminds him of an old favourite from unhealthy days Butter Chicken with Coconut Rice. Luckily this version doesn't contain the same calorie bomb & fat bomb effect :wink:

    One of my favs is to stuff the chicken breast with goat cheese, spinach, red peppers and pesto! If you don't like goat cheese try light feta or for a healthier option leave out the cheese and add more veggies like zucchini and mushrooms!

    THAT sounds pretty damn tasty!

    Chicken Posole...SOOO good! It is a Mexican-style hominy and chicken based soup that you can personalize it to your liking in terms of adding either tomato or verde based salsa flavors to it and you can spice it up as much as you want. To take it to the next level---after dishing it into bowls, top it with avocado, a bit of sour cream or cheese, and a few chips for crunch.
    Many options and very filling. This recipe is close to how I make it...I just roast and blend my own tomatillo salsa and add that into the soup instead of adding many of these ingredients separately...it creates a great roasted flavor too.
