    The easiest (and very tasty) chicken for me to cook only needs one ingredient: Grub Rub! It is a seasoning that is a tenderizer, seasoning, and marinade in one! It is gluten free and contains no MSG (though it does contain some salt and sugar if you are watching that). I rub it into chicken breasts (sometimes I let it 'soak in' for about 10 mins in the fridge) and then grill them. Delicious, tender chicken every time!

    You don't NEED chicken :smile:

    I've had the best success since giving up land animals, and I didn't even do it for weight loss!

    You don't NEED to be pushy....

    My current fave chicken recipe:

    Marinate a chicken breast in fat free italian dressing (i actually ran out and used some ff ceasar italian dressing and like it better) - you can marinate it for as long as you want...I usually let it sit in the dressing covered with foil in the fridge all day...then dredge it in some italian bread crumbs...fold chicken over a piece of low fat string cheese and bake for 30 minutes @ 400 degrees, turning 1/2 way through...YUM, I even have my co-worked hooked on it..

    Camping season is upon us, and this may not be the BEST calorie-wise recipe, but it is the best chicken camping recipe EVER.

    No mess, easy clean up -- everything goes in the garbage or gets cleaned and recycled! This recipe is best when made the night before and left in the fridge overnight. Put it on ice in the cooler and take out 10 minutes before you cook it to allow the oil to melt.

    Campfire Chicken Roast
    Ingredients:
    Chicken Portion:
    1pkg boneless chicken thighs (approx 6 pieces)
    Garlic
    Greek seasoning
    Salt & pepper
    Olive or Sunflower oil

    Vegetables:
    Carrots
    Potatoes
    broccoli
    cauliflower
    brussel sprouts (opt.)
    Olive or Oil
    Salt and Pepper
    Greek Seasoning
    Garlic

    Extras:
    2 super sealable plastic baggies (the zipper zip lock ones work best)
    Disposable tin roasting pan
    1 bottle of beer

    Directions:

    Vegetables:
    Cut all washed and peeled veggies into bite size portions.
    Put in one baggy. Drizzle oil over top (probably a tbsp -- more if you have lots of veggies). Chop garlic (however much you want) and add to veggies. Add salt and pepper and greek seasoning to taste.
    Close bag and shake it so all the veggies get some seasoning and garlic. Put in fridge.

    Chicken:
    Place your chicken thighs in the ziploc bag. Add garlic, oil (2-4 tbsp depending on amount of chicken) and seasonings (greek, salt, pepper). Close baggy, mash ingredients around in bag so that the chicken gets a good covering of seasonings.

    Cooking:
    Put chicken in the tin roasting pan. Put vegetables around the chicken. You could also put the chicken on top of the vegetables. Make sure you get most of the oil out of the bag. Add approx 1/2 bottle of beer, enough to cover approx 1/2 the chicken (do not submerge the chicken!). Cover with tin foil. Put on camp fire grate. Drink and have a good time, checking occasionally and keeping the fire going.

    Cook time: approx 45 mins, depending on fire heat

    Chicken Chardon

    Original Recipe Yield 8 servings

    Ingredients
    8 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
    1 egg
    salt and pepper to taste
    2 teaspoons garlic powder, divided
    1 cup bread crumbs
    1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
    1 pound sliced fresh mushrooms
    1/4 cup butter, melted
    1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
    1 teaspoon chopped fresh parsley




    Directions
    1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

    2. In a shallow bowl, beat the egg with salt, pepper and 1 teaspoon garlic powder.
    In a separate dish, mix bread crumbs with 1 teaspoon of garlic powder and Parmesan cheese.
    Set aside.

    3. Mix together the melted butter and lemon juice. Pour about 2/3 of the butter mixture into
    the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish. Tilt pan to coat the bottom. Spread mushrooms in an even
    layer in the bottom of the dish. Dip each chicken breast into the egg mixture, then into the bread
    crumb mixture. Place on top of the mushrooms. Drizzle remaining butter over the chicken, and sprinkle
    with parsley.
    4. Bake uncovered for 45 minutes in the preheated oven, until chicken is golden brown and juices run clear.

    better than "copycat" recipe for Applebee's Dijon Chicken and Portobellos

    4 small boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 5 oz. each)
    4 green onions, thinly sliced
    1/4 C. Dijon mustard
    1 T. fresh lemon juice 1 large clove garlic, minced salt and pepper to taste
    2 T. olive oil

    Combine all ingredients except chicken in a gallon size ziplock bag. Shake well to mix. Add chicken breasts, making sure they are thoroughly coated. Squeeze out as much air as possible and refrigerate for at least 3 hours (or overnight).

    1 red bell pepper 1 8 oz. package whole crimini mushrooms, cleaned 1/2 red onion

    Preheat grill. Grill vegetables (using a grill grid if desired) until they are about halfway cooked through. Remove and cool. Dice and place together in a bowl. Remove chicken from marinade and grill until cooked through, about 8 minutes per side. Keep warm.

    To assemble, place each chicken breast on an oven-proof serving plate. Top with about 1/2 C. of mushroom/pepper/onion mixture. Sprinkle with about 2 T. freshly grated asiago cheese. Broil just until cheese is melted and slightly browned. Serve with 1 C. of microwave steamed potatoes (plain) and 2 C. steamed mixed veggies (couple spritzes of I Can't Believe It's Not Butter spray).

    I found this one on a blog. I baked my veggies instead of grilling, loved it!!

    My husband is an awesome cook and loves to grill as well. We eat a LOT of chicken every week. I like it best when he brines it first for a few hours--usually in a mixure of citrus, some cut up apples and bit of apple/cider vinegar cut with warm water. Then he adds seasonings (garlic/oregano, pepper and a touch of oilve oil)--You can add your fav spices---then cover and let brine for 3-4 hrs and then grill as usual. The meat is super moist and tastes amazing. Then after itcools off--I portion it up in freezer bags and we have meals for the week that just take 1- 1 1/2 mins to cook and it tastes like it just came off the grill again.:flowerforyou:

    My old way of cooking it was my favorite. Throw it in crockpot (frozen if needed), add a can of cream of something soup and cook all day. Shred and put on top of mashed potatoes. OMG, I ate this at least 3 times a week. So good.

    My new way is chicken with salsa cooked all day with no mashed potatoes. Still good. I will either eat plain with a bit of sour cream or I put on corn tortillas (not the crunchy kind the ones that aren't fried).

    My other favorite is baking with a piece of bacon or two on top. Then when almost done put a couple of slices of swiss cheese on top and let melt. Very plain but very delicious.
