    OR, smother it in taco seasoning and throw in the crockpot with a little bit of chicken broth, a can of black beans, a can of diced tomatoes, and a can of corn! (yea I know, lots of canned stuff, but it's easy!). Cook on low for 6-8 hours, shred the chicken and: make chicken tacos, chicken burritos, chicken fajitias, chicken taco salad....

    Why don't you try something that's not chicken?

    dip the chicken in an egg, then in a mix of flax seed meal and almond flower (plus a few seasonings for taste if you prefer) and the "fry" it in a pan in refined coconut oil... mmmmmmmmmm

    I sometimes eat my chicken this way. It has a little fat but if you eat it with low fat/cal sides it not that bad.

    I use chicken breast or drumsticks, coat with melted butter or margarine(doesnt take much) then cover in crushed corn flakes seasoned to taste( I use garlic, seasoned salt, salt and pepper), you can drizzle the extra butter over the top, then cook. I usually cook it with rice and green beans. Its really really good. I used light butter last time and it only takes about 1.5 tablespoons of butter per chicken breast, IMO so worth it.

    I'm actually making this tonight:

    I use whole wheat Fusilli noodles (the spiral kind) and add diced tomatoes, red & green peppers, & onion that I simmered in olive oil. Next, throw in some shredded chicken breast, Italian seasoning, garlic, basil, oregano, and spaghetti sauce. Top with Mozzarella and PRESTO!

    Piri-Piri Chicken

    Put 4 chicken breasts in a ziplock bag
    Zest of 2 lemons
    Squeeze in the juice of 2 lemons
    Toss in 4 minced cloves of garlic
    Sprinkle in salt and cracked black pepper and a good pinch of red chili flakes (even if you don't like spicy, trust me)
    Drizzle in EVOO (not much, like 2 tbs)
    Shake it up and let sit for at least 30 min. but up to overnight.
    Amazing on the BBQ, great grilled, Foreman'ed, broiled or even pan fried.

    You will love it!

    stuff it with some kind of herby cheese. I also wrap them in bacon lol. then bake.

    I like to cook it in the crock pot.. it makes nice shredded chicken that I can use for burritos, tacos, chicken salad, just to put on salads... whatever.

    You could marinade in something different besides bbq sauce... just google chicken marinades.

    chicken is so not boring.

    grill it, spread goat chees on top (with your favorit herbs), broil it until cheese is bubble, top with mushrooms sauteed with olive oil and garlic.

    marinate chicken in olive oil, red pepper flakes, black pepper, chopped garlic and parsley for a few hours. Then saute in an electric skillet. When half way through cooking, add in coarsely chopped (bite size) large onion and green pepper. When chicken is thorougly cooked add a slice of cheese and let melt. This is one of my favorite concoctions

    Flatten it in a big ziploc baggie with a mallet or heavy bottomed sauce pot. Drizzle just a bit of EVOO in a skillet. Season chicken with onion powder, garlic powder, minced garlic, lemon pepper, squirt lemon juice on it (McCormicks Montreal Chicken seasoning is also good with all of the above, but a little high in sodium). Cook it, let it rest a few minutes, slice it into fajita meat type strips. Great on salad, in whole wheat pasta, in a wrap or sandwich, or truly awesome with mashed potatoes or mashed cauliflower.
