    Boiled in Chicken broth then add some noodles or rice to the broth once the chicken is done.

    Pound the chicken breast pretty flat, add a slice of ham and a 1/2 lite string cheese..bake for 20-25 mins. (at 350) I season mine with garlic and onion powders as well as salt and pepper. (very little salt)

    Chicken salad...boil your chicken, dice, add some celery, salt pepper and a light mayo.

    My favourite - and my husbands (who is not on a diet) is : cut the chicken into small strips. chop about 4 or 5 cloves of garlic. add salt. a little oil. really simple, but tastes delicious!!

    Grill a chicken breast and season with pepper and some garlic salt. Once grilled, melt low-fat mozz cheese on it. Top with fresh basil & 2 thinly sliced tomatoes. Drizzle with a heated balsamic glaze. Yummy! (o:

    Enjoy!

    Boneless skinless chicken breasts, about 2 jars chunky salsa in the crock pot in the afternoon and its falling apart ready to be put of rice and veggies or wrapped up in tortillas.

    Also like sazon the little orange packets, I add a little water in a pan and let it cook out on low leaving a little juice left over to pour over rice and cauliflower

    I love marinating it for an hour or two then grill it. Add some broccoli to it. My type of meal right there.

    Me too! Grill it, chop it up, add chopped broccoli and a small amount of brown rice = healthy chicken bowl

    I tend to bake my chicken in a foil parcel - it keeps it juicy and I use the juices that are saved in the parcel as a sauce. I use different veg / herb / spice combinations - all in the parcel with the chicken. Lots of these work greatv with salmon too.

    White wine, shallots, mushrooms, black pepper
    lemon juice, tarragon, courgette
    fresh chilli, lime juice
    fresh tomatoes, peppers, red onion
    grapefruit, shallot, a little brown sugar
    stuff with low fat cream cheese / garlic cheese
    tomato paste and parmesan on top

    etc etc

    This is my new favorite recipe, easy and so adaptable!

    Mix a 1/2 cup greek yogurt (I used Chobani 0%), about a quarter cup shredded parmesan, a tablespoon or two of dijon mustard, a little Lawry's seasoning salt,pepper and minced garlic. My measurements aren't 100% correct cause I eyeball it a bit, but just mix it till it tastes good, haha.
    Spread the mixture over 2 boneless, skinless chicken breast (cover them completely)
    Sprinkle with a little more parmesan
    Pop in the oven at 375 for about 40 minutes, check to make sure the inside isn't pink cause cooking times vary. It's best when the mix on top gets brown.

    This is 2 servings!

    You can change out and add ingredients to your liking. Tonight I added capers to the sauce and it was so good! I always eat it with a side of sauteed asparagus. Yum!
