I like to make chicken ranch enchiladas sometimes. They are very delicious.0

I found this recipe on Pinterest. It's called man-pleasing chicken, lol. Mix 1/2 cup brown spicy mustard, 1/4 cup maple syrup and 1 tbsp vinegar. Coat boneless skinless chicken breasts with the sauce and bake at 400 degrees for 40 minutes. 287 calories and 6 grams of fat. Super yummy! (And yes, my man is always pleased with this chicken!)0

Cube it, dust it with turmeric, let it sit in the fridge for at least half an hour. I cook it in a wok with a little bit of oil and water, then when it's finished, take it out, and cook a sliced onion dusted in splenda in the left over juice, adding water as needed, until the onions are carmalized. Good stuff, I promise!

Chase it! It's fun for you and the chicken.0

Brown chicken breast in olive or canola oil. Add a can of Select Harvest chicken soup to crock pot. Add chicken. Cook on High for and hour, then turn down to low and cook for as long as you can wait. (preferably at least a couple of hours) Add whatever vegetables (peas, corn, green beans, etc., or all three!) you like. Salt and pepper to taste. Serve over long grain and wild rice.0

I haven't tried this yet, but I found this on Pinterest, and I plan of making it for dinner tomorrow. 3 boneless chicken breasts, 1 can of black beans, 1 can of kidney beans, 1 can of corn, 16 oz of tomato sauce, 28 oz diced tomatoes, 1 packet of taco seasoning, 1 tlbs chili powder, . 6 hours high or 10 hours on low in the crock pot. (it looks good, says it around 200 calories, and makes 8 servings) We'll see.0

My familiy's favorite is Kung Pao chicken.
Chicken
Red pepper flakes or powder
garlic powder
1 Tbl. canola oil
4 Tbl. cornstarch
4 Tbl. water
4 Tbl. vinegar
1 Tbl. sugar
1/2 cup soy sauce
Cook the chicken in the canola oil until mostly cooked and then add red pepper and garlic and finish cooking. Remove chicken from pan, but leave any excess oil. Add peanuts and cook for 5 minutes on medium until fragrant. Add chicken back in to pan. Combine cornstarch, water vinegar, sugar and soy sauce, mix well. Add sauce to the pan with the chicken. Heat over medium until sauce has thickened. It's so yummmmy! My 2nd favorite is Chicken Caruso: cook chicken in butter (2 T.) and garlic powder. Add diced celery and bottle of spaghetti sauce and simmer for 15-20. Serve over rice.0 -
I love my foreman grill...
I marinade in teriyaki or baslalmic and olive oil or just sprinkle with different seasonings, greek, hickory, salt and pepper, adobo, ect... or put salsa on it, or pesto sauce... serve with the vast array of veggies and squash and salads there is and I never get bored! 0 -
My family's fave chicken dish of mine is what I call -Hammered Chicken, but they thought it was funny to change it to 'Drunk Chicken'. But there is no alcohol in it.
I put chicken breast tenders in a ziplock baggie with Italian dressing and tenderize with a mallet (I used a hammer-thus the name!)
Let it marinate for a few minutes.
Mix seasoned bread crumbs with some parmesan cheese. Coat the chicken pieces in the bread crumbs then saute in olive oil til cooked thru, turning over to cook each side.
I have no idea what the nutrition content is on them, but they are extremely tender and tasty!0 -
I do evo and garlic and grill it on the bbq grill. I will cook it another way when it is too cold to bbq.0

I'm trying cranberry glazed almond chicken for the first time tonight.
1 can cranberry sauce (whole or jellied doesnt matter)
a few tablespoons of orange juice blend them together (or heat in pan to melt and blend, it was just easier to throw it into the processor for me.)
1 tablespoon of sliced almonds (I also threw them into the processor to chop slightly and mix into the sauce.)
Pour that over 5 chicken breasts and bake for 45 mins to an hour.
Mine is currently marinating in the fridge in the baking dish...I'll see how it comes out tonight.0 -
Low calorie: A La Plancha
The classic spanish method. Brush breasts with a little olive oil then griddle on a cast iron griddle pan. You might want to gash the thickest part so that it cooks evenly. Serve with lemon halves which can also be griddled cut side down. Next best thing to BBQ-ing.
A little less low calorie: Coca Cola Teriyaki
Brown chicken thighs in a wok or sautee pan. If you are using peices with skin removed, you will need a little oil, otherwise start with the skin side down which provides enough fat. Throw in some chopped gariic. Pour off excess oil. Toss in some regular coca cola (not diet) and water to cover at least halfway. For 8-9 thighs I would use one can and then enough water to almost cover. Add several lashings of soy sauce. Boil down at high heat until sauce has caramelized and has a syrupy consistency. This dish freezes well for warming up later if you make big batches.0 -
with my 5 chickies its super exciting to find a cricket and throw it in the middle of them...they go nuts! Is that what this thread is about?!?!
my first reaction too....have 7 backyard chooks and if I need to get a good laugh or get the girls going I take sunflower seeds or raisons......they go crazy, so funny to have a bunch of chickens run acrosss the yard towards me!!! Otherwise I am no help.....vegatarian for 23 years and the girls know that they are safe :laugh:0 -
Two easy recipes: Coca-cola chicken - put skinless BONE-IN chicken in a pan, cover with one cup ketchup and one cup of Diet Coke. Cook over medium heat, covered, for 45 minutes. Uncover and let the 'sauce' simmer and thicken for another 15 to 20 minutes. Serve with rice. Yum!
Sesame-ginger chicken - marinate boneless skinless chicken breast in low-fat sesame/ginger salad dressing for at least an hour. Bake in the oven at 350 for an hour, basting with the marinade periodically. Serve with rice (brown is better than white for this recipe).0 -

I posted this on another board "what one healthy food are you sick of eating" and chicken came up.
Kudos to anyone who has done all of these! There are maybe 4 or 5 on here I haven't done
chicken enchiladas (ortega sauce can has directions and is, imo, the best sauce)
chicken burritos using ground chicken
BQ pulled chicken
ground chicken in baked penne or lasagna
small diced chicken marinated in taco sauce for hard or soft tacos
chicken teriyaki stir fry (a hoison sauce can be god)
chicken curry
thai/japanese/chinese spiced lo mein noodles
finely diced chicken in a black bean salad hot or cold)
chicken parm
chicken sauteed with roma tomatoes and zucchini (served with rice is good. Del-monte has this canned and it is awesome)
chicken andouillie (sp?) sausage for red beans and rice
chicken fajitas (McCormick's dry seasoning has the least amount of sodium
stuffed chicken breasts (yeah, this on is a wee harder look for thick breasts.)
sesame orange chicken
chicken florentine
chicken or turkey tettrazini
chicken alfreado (with a light sauce)
ceasar chicken salad.. now wrap that
asian chicken salad
pecan and parm crusted chicken
chicken carbonera with a light alfredo sauce
tortelini and chicken with a light alfredo sauce
chicken asian lettuce wraps (These are effing gooood!!!)
hawaiian style marinade to saute with *canned* pineapple, bell pepper and a spanish onion. If making kabobs, soak your wooden skewers first.
**The fastest way to get tired of chicken is to always over cook it!0 -
I pour apple cider vinegar in the baking dish with my chicken and it's oh so good! Keeps it nice and moist! 0

Beat an egg with 1 TBS of Honey and 1TBS of Dijon Mustard salt pepper. Dredge chicken in egg mixture then coat it in Corn Flake crumbs. Bake at 375 for 20 minutes. I also like to pound out the chicken flat before breading it.
Not incredibly fancy but it adds a lot of flavor to a normally dull diet on my end. I always look forward to it when I make it.0 -

I made this yesterday before I saw your post..how bizarre...and yes it was wonderfully tasty...I will definitely do this again. Thanks :-)0 -
If you have a smartphone, there is a great app called "all recipes" spinner. It lets you put in what type of items, with what as the main ingredient, and how long. After that, it gives you a bunch of recipes. I got a chicken taco tortilla soup recipe which is great. I made my own taco spices instead of using the prepackage mix and used no-salt tomatoes to cut down on the salt. The recipe for the taco seasoning is in the reviews.0

Easy- Put a couple spoons of your favourite salsa or tomato sauce over a chicken breast and top with your favorite shredded cheese. Bake for about 40 min at 375F.
A little more challanging- Sautee some onion garlic and your favorite veggies in about 1 tbsp of oil, toss in a tbsp of curry powder. Fry the spices a little to release their flavor. Add some diced chicken breast. Add a couple tablespoons tomato paste, and some water or broth to make a sauce. Simmer and serve over rice.0 -
Yum!0

I fry onion and garlic in butter and transfer to oven dish. Add tumeric , cinnamon or two split in half cinnamon sticks and chopped root ginger and more butter to pan. Add chicken and cook a few minutes in the mixture turning it. Transfer all this to oven dish cover and cook till chicken is tender. My favourite way.0

Have a look at the Skinnytaste.com website. I think the ladies name is Gina. Im from Australia but it is an American website. She has some really yummy (and family friendly) recipes and she tells you the Cals per serve too. Good Luck!
I second this! I just discovered this website last week and I am already in love. I made the crockpot chicken cacciatore last week and it was so yummy over some whole wheat spaghetti. There are soooo many recipes on there and I want to try them all.

Simply throw a few chicken breasts in the crockpot with a large pot of extra chunky salsa and set it up for 8 hours... add your fav veggies...
If you dont have a crockpot.. get one.. seriously...0
