    Last night I stuffed them with low fat provolone and proscutto. browned quickly then backed in the oven topped with fat free cream of mushroom and fresh sliced mushrooms. Soooooo good with roasted asparagus and brown rice (:

    we put a little olive oil on cut up chicken breast and then skew them and put them on the grill. Sometimes I put just salt and pepper on them other times I have fun with seasonings.

    We make a big batch then I use them thru the week. In salads, wraps and soups.

    I like to marinade butterflied chicken breast in goya mojo (i find it in the hispanic section of my grocery store) overnight. Then I grill it on the George Foreman, and slice it for tacos. Very, very delicious, moist, and adds hardly any extra calories. Also good in fajitas with whole wheat tortillas. Add some fat free refried beans for a side dish and you are set if you're in the mood for mexican food

    Grilled Chicken with Spinach and Melted Mozzarella
    Gina's Weight Watcher Recipes
    Servings: 6 • S Size: 1 cutlet, spinach, cheese • Old Points: 4 pts • Points+: 4 pts
    Calories: 153.3 • Fat: 4.2 g • Protein: 24.5 g • Carb: 4.0 g • Fiber: 1.3 g • Sugar: .7 g


    24 oz (3 large) chicken breasts sliced in half lengthwise to make 6 cutlets
    salt and pepper to taste
    1 tsp olive oil
    3 cloves garlic, crushed
    10 oz frozen spinach, drained
    3 oz shredded part skim mozzarella
    1 roasted red pepper, sliced in strips
    olive oil spray

    Preheat oven to 400°. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Lightly spray a grill with oil (I used my George Forman) or grill outside on a gas grill. Cook chicken on the grill until no longer pink, careful not to overcook or you'll have dry chicken.

    Meanwhile, heat a sauté pan on medium heat. Add oil and garlic, sauté a few seconds, add spinach, salt and pepper. Cook a few minutes until heated through.

    When chicken is done, lay on a baking sheet lined with foil or parchment for easy clean-up. Divide spinach evenly between the 6 pieces and place on top. Top each with half oz mozzarella, then slices of roasted pepper and bake until melted, about 6-8 minutes

    This is me and my boyfriends favorite! It's super quick and easy and low calorie. We actually add in rice noodles at the end instead of eating it with rice. http://www.marthastewart.com/317515/spicy-chicken-stir-fry-with-peanuts

    if they are thick i half them to make them thinner. i season with garlic powder and lemon pepper and then do a pan sear or you could broil, grill or bake.

    this is good by itself with sides or on salads and in wraps.

    I boil mine, shred it and put it in all sorts of different stuff. I make chicken salad, I put shredded chicken and cheese on my salad, I also like shredded chicken in a bow with a little fat free sour cream, 2tbsp of green Enchilada sauce and 1 oz of cheddar cheese (It tastes like an enchilada without all the cal's) I also like to soak it in buffalo sauce 0cal, low sodium sauce's, then bake it in the oven and dip it into Ranch. Last nite I made chicken and black bean tacos (except I don't fry my tortillas and I eat low-carb ones) I just add salsa, black beans, 1tsp of cumin and a lb of chicken and cook till fluids from the chicken are clea on the stove. I like making chicken Crodon Bleu, Stuffing bell peppers with chicken and cheese. Even just roasting chicken with some olive oi,l salt, pepper and onion powder. I could go on for days but these are some of my favorites. OH and one more I make a homemade Alfredo sauce and add Broccili to it then pour it over cooked chicken and it tastes like Chicken Fettucini Alfredo (without the extra cal's and carbs from the pasta) Hope that helps!

    Crock pot with chicken broth, cook 5 hours on high, drain and shred, use it it everything all week long

    This is exactly what I do! The uses are endless!!

    Chicken tacos
    Chicken baked nachos
    Buffalo chicken sandwiches
    Chicken stuffed potato
    Chicken salad on Wassa crackers or bread
    Green chicken enchaladas
    Chicken salad topped with Lime juce, jalapeno juice and a dash of EVOO (line plate with baked tostitos, 1/4 cup fat free refried beans, lettuce, cheese) Yum, one of my favorites!
    BBQ chicken (make my own low sugar bbq sauce)
    Chicken stuffed green peppers

    Oh I could go on and on... I LOVE DOING THIS!!! My kids will eat it cold out of the fridge. Good protein!

    I'm very simple, and it works for me. I just season it with cayenne pepper, seasoned salt (optional), garlic powder and black pepper. Bake it in the oven for 15 minutes at 400degrees. Flip it over and bake it for another 15. Voila! Nice, yummy chicken. I serve it with carrots and peas most of the time.

    I'm kind of a chaos cook and don't have an actual recipe but here is something I like to do with boneless skinless chicken breasts. I'm always winging it and taste after the chicken is done to make sure I've put in enough salt and lime - but hopefully you get the basic idea. :)

    Slice up two chicken breasts
    In a saute pan add a tablespoon olive oil (it might take a little more) and the following spices:
    tsp cumin
    tsp black mustard seeds
    tsp chili powder
    tsp ground corriander
    1/2 tsp tumeric

    combine into a paste and let it toast a little then throw in your sliced chicken breast. I ususally add some salt at this point - maybe a half tsp) Coat and sear the pieces then add,

    1/2 can Swanson's chicken broth

    Let it come to a boil then simmer until the chicken is cooked through. At this point I add

    1/2 can light coconut milk and the juice of one lime

    depending on the size of the chicken breasts you might want less lime. The chicken breasts I get are usually enormous! LOL
    Careful the pan is not too hot when you add the coconut milk because sometimes it can seperate.

    Serve with brown rice and fresh cilantro.
