    Tonight I am making chicken marsala (chicken breasts in a mushroom. white wine sauce) over brown rice. Maybe some sauted kale or fresh baby greens w basalmic on the side.

    my favorite is putting my chicken boobies in the crock-pot, then pouring salsa on top- nothing more. cook on high about 4-5 hours, until the chicken shreds with two forks.

    I will either boil a chicken breast or thigh, or use a can (in moments of desperation). shred the chicken with hotsause and mix in a laughing cow blue cheese wedge. I cook for one a lot and this way I can make it on the fly. If there are leftovers I use it on a sandwich/wrap the next day. I've also added it to a flat out added a bit of mozzerella cheese and turned it into a buffalo pizza by adding some finely chopped celery.

    I've used crushed Melba toast or pretzels as a coating for the chicken, then grill it on the stove or in the oven. It tricks my brain into thinking it's fried chicken. :)

    Put boneless, skinless, trimmed chicken breasts in a crockpot cover with water or stock. Cook on high 2-3 hours or on low 4-5 hours (too long and it will be mushy). Take out and shred. I do this in the beginning of the week and and have the chicken for all kinds of recipes.

    I use the shredded chicken for chicken tacos, heat 1 tsp (can use less if needed) canola oil in a pan and "fry" a corn tortilla (I like mine still a little soft). Top with either salsa or hot sauce, or both, lettuce and lowfat shredded cheese.

    Mix with a little bbq sauce in a skillet until heated through, eat with a side of veggies or on a roll.

    I use it in White Chicken Chili, instead of how the recipe calls for it.

    Add to a stir fry or fried rice.

    Throw cold on a salad for lunch.

    Warm up and place on light bread with your choice of cheese (Muenster is good).

    The list goes on and on and on. I like that it cuts the prep time for making meals down since I don't have very much time on the days I work considering I work 12 hour shifts.

    I like to sauté chicken breasts using Pam, and then top it with black beans, mozzarella cheese, salsa and diced avocado. It’s one of my favorites and it’s very healthy!

    I make a chicken salad boil your chicken and then cut it up in a bowl and put mayo, sweet relish and you can eat it with crackers or bread.

    Try the Foil way. No clean up either. Mix with seasoning and veggies and wrap in foil and put it in the oven. Go to Reynolds wrap and look for the recipe. Makes a quick and easy meal.

    I just made this last night and am officially in love - had leftovers at work today too. SOOO simple, quick, and tasty!

    6 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
    1/2 cup Parmesan cheese (I use the Kraft Reduced Fat Grated)
    1/2 tsp. garlic powder
    1 packet Good Seasons Italian Dressing dry mix (I discovered yesterday this is very high in sodium, so I'm going to be looking for salt-free Italian seasonings to use instead in the future)

    Mix dry ingredients together, coat the chicken, then pop it in a baking dish at 400 degrees until done. My recipe says 20 minutes, but I forgot to pound out the chicken breasts and so they were pretty thick - took about 40 minutes until mine were done. I also flipped them over during the middle.
