    Use boneless skinnless chicken tenders instead of chicken breast - easier to control portions.
    broil them after seasoning with variety of Mrs Dash Spices to your taste. (we use instead of salt and do not miss it)
    Slice and dice one slice of honey ham for each two chicken tenders and mix with a table spoon or so of reduced fat mozzerella cheese and then stir in couple of tablespoons of horseradish sauce
    Once the tenders are just about finished spoon the mixture on top of tenders and broil to melt a great cheater way for chicken cordon blue.

    Two tenders is a great portion size serve with a half of sweet potato topped with cinnamin and truvia and three broiled asparagus spears

    Throw together Chicken

    Boneless skinless chicken breast
    Whole grain linguine noodles
    ½ of each – red, orange, yellow pepper *can add green if you like them* & onion
    ¾ cup of Kraft roasted red pepper Italian w/parmesan dressing/marinade *for noodles*
    ¼ cup of Kraft roasted red pepper Italian w/parmesan dressing/marinade *for peppers/onions*

    Boil noodles
    Brown chicken till done with your choice of spices. (I usually use Mrs. Dash flavors)
    cut into small bite size pieces.
    Saute the onion, peppers, spices and ¼ cup of dressing

    Once the noodles are done drain well and put back in the pot with ¾ cup of dressing and toss well.
    Add the chicken and veggies and toss again.



    This can also be done with Kraft’s Asian Toasted Sesame for a different taste 

    Not sure if this has been posted yet.
    First you'll need a crockpot!

    1 bag frozen chicken breasts (if you use fresh cut the cooking time a little)
    1 bag baby carrots (i use a large bag)
    2 cubed baking potatoes (or red) or 1 large sweet potato
    Mrs Dash Original Seasoning (or anything you like - the garlic herb is good and so is the spicy one)
    1c low sodium/organic chicken broth
    1/2 c water

    Spray inside of crockpot w/ nonstick spray, olive oil or use a crockpot liner (whatver your preference is)
    Layer the bottom with potatoes (i use both kinds, sweet for me and regular for the fam)
    Add bag of baby carrots - sprinkle a little mrs dash
    Add chicken as the last layer
    Pour water/broth mixture over top
    Sprinkle a little more Mrs Dash

    Cook on low 8-10 hrs.

    I either do this overnight or first thing in the AM before work. As far as the seasoning it's all to taste. The chicken comes out REALLY moist, you can cut back on the water a little if you use frozen. You can either eat the chicken like that or you can easily shred it.
    I do this every Sunday for the week, but it's good as just a dinner as well. Quick and easy and usually things I already have in the house. You can use whatever kind of potatoes you want. I use both since I LOVE sweet potatoes and the rest of the family prefers the regular ones. You could also add some sweet onion or other veggies if you'd like.

    It sounds crazy but I boil them until they just fall apart ( about an hour) then I drain and shred the chicken. I make two different recipes with this I either add salsa to the shredded chicken and wrap in soft taco shell or I mix in Sweet Baby Ray's Honey BBQ sauce and serve on rolls for chicken BBQ. By boiling the chicken it really makes it super tender. These are quick and really good recipes, my family loves them.

    Super easy and tasty chicken, Italian style:

    Ingredients:
    Chicken breasts (I prefer the thin sliced "cutlet" ones from perdu)
    Tomato sauce
    Shredded part skim mozzarella cheese

    Put 2 spoonfuls of sauce over each breast, sprinkle some cheese over it, bake @ 450 until chicken is cooked and cheese is melted and crispy on top.

    Perfect with a side of whole wheat pasta for a healthy Italian style dinner!

    ~200 cals per chicken breast depending on how big they are.

    Bumping post for later experimentation:

    I have a recipe but need to modify it to make it healthy:

    1 Chicken Breast
    1/2 Mango - Stoned and Sliced
    1 Egg (if using breadcrumbs)
    Soft spreading cheese
    Streaky Bacon
    Puff Pasty, Shortcrust or Bread Crumbs (which ever you prefer)

    Slice a pocket into the breast (watch the fingers)
    Stuff the breast with the mango and soft cheese, wrap in the bacon.

    If using bread crumbs: Wisp the egg, coat the chicken and bacon in the egg mix and then dip in the breadcrumbs
    if using pastry, roll out a thin amount enough to cover the breast completely and wrap it up :-D
    Bake in the oven for around 35-45 mins

    Its really really nice but as you can see the calorie are going to be high, hence I need to adapt it......
    In fact I think this will be tomorrow nights dinner :-D

    Server with whatever veg or carbs you want to include, I like sweet potato and sweet corn

    In a blender, puree one can of tomatoes, one can of jalapenos, half an onion (chopped) and two cloves of garclic. Put it in a pan and warm. Place raw chicken breasts in the pan so they are covered in the puree. Bring sauce nearly to a boil, then reduce heat to medium low. Cook until chicken breasts are at 165 deg F. Remove chicken from the pan and place on cutting board. Using two forks shred the chicken. Put shredded chicken back in pan and increase heat to medium high. Boil off the water from the sauce until the dish is at a consistency that you like.

    Serve on a bed of romaine lettuce with a little bit of cheese and avocado slices.

    I do this, but with chipotle peppers...jalapenos in adobo sauce...to make chipotle chicken, delicious!!!

    Cilantro lime chicken, one pound of chicken breast, one large jar of your favorite salsa in a crockpot for 8 hours on low. When the chicken is cooked through shred it and add it back to salsa. When its all done add some lime juice and fresh chopped cilantro serve over brown rice with a side of black beans and a salad. YUMMY!!
