    I just tried this last night. It was delish! It's a variation of a WW recipe which calls for pork, but it is yummy on chicken!

    Chicken (or pork chops) with Chipotle-Peach Glaze

    2 tsp. chili powder
    2 tsp. brown sugar
    3/4 tsp. cumin
    1/2 tsp garlic powder
    1/2 tsp salt

    Rub this mixture on both sides of chicken breast. You can then grill it (what the original recipe said to do with the pork) but I did it on the stove with a smidge of olive oil.

    The Sauce:
    1/2 cup peach preserves
    1 tblsp apple cider vinegar
    1 tsp. dijon mustard
    1 tsp. minced chipotle in adobo

    Put it all in a small saucepan and heat it up. Pour over the chichen breasts.

    Calories=275
    Fat=4

    It was so yummy! We served it with green beans and "light" mashed potatoes.

    I also love to cut up chicken tenderloins, onions, bell peppers (any colors), and mushrooms....spread it all out on a baking sheet, drizzole with EVOO and McCormick's poultry seasong. Bake at 375. Fast, easy, and super yummy!

    I have about a million chicken recipes. Here's an easy one.

    Boneless skinless chicken breast pounded fery thin.
    Salt/pepper each side.
    Squirt on Wishbone Itilian Salad Dressing to cover each side, noy submerged.
    Grill on high, like a steak, 5 min each side.
    Enjoy.

    Because the breast pounds out to about twice the size of a normal breast I usually eat 1/2 a breast as a portion.

    Perfect timing, my husband made the most delicious chicken breast I've probably ever had for dinner tonight. The only thing on it was a full slice of really thick and fatty (foraged hog) bacon. It was delish! Baked in the oven. Was moist and almost smoky tasting. so good.

    I use this marinade and marinade butterflied chicken overnight and then freeze them individually. They defrost in 10 mins and take just 7 mins on the Foreman grill and are delicious!

    Crazy Chicken Marinade Grilled Chicken

    4 limes, juiced
    2 tablespoons olive oil
    2 tablespoons chili powder
    1 teaspoon dried sage
    1 teaspoon dried oregano
    1 teaspoon ground cumin
    4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves

    Directions

    Whisk the lime juice, olive oil, chili powder, sage, oregano, and cumin together in a small bowl. Arrange the chicken breasts in a shallow glass container; pour the lime juice marinade over the chicken. Cover the container with plastic wrap; refrigerate 1 1/2 hours, turning the chicken every 30 minutes.

    Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate. Remove the chicken to a platter and allow to come to room temperature. Pour the marinade into a small saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 10 minutes.

    Basting with the marinade, grill the chicken breasts until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 8 to 10 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

    Coat chicken breast with an egg white, then sprinkle your choice of crushed nut on top. It kinda imitates chicken skin, TBH.

    Use the yolk to coat sweet potato fries as a side. :D
