Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast - Dish!

michellekicks

How many ways do you eat your boneless, skinless chicken breast?

1. baked, brushed with olive oil and Italian seasoning
2. baked with butter chicken sauce brushed on
3. baked with pesto sauce brushed on (or chop after and put on a caesar salad)
4. shredded (fine slice while frozen) and pan fried with veggies, tossed with teriyaki sauce
5. chopped and sauteed in small pieces to mix in with pasta (chicken & mushroom pasta)
6. cut into strips/nuggets and baked with shake & bake coating

Now you go... I need more ideas...

Marinated in bottled Italian salad dressing and grilled. My kid likes when I coat them in dijon mustard and rosemary and then coat them in busted up pretzels.

i just bought some panko bread crumbs to coat lightly in tonight!

also season with salt and pepper and grill on the foreman...dip in hot sauce/light ranch/bbq sauce

That was going to be my next question:

For those grilling, are you using an outdoor bbq/grill or one of those counter top ones?

Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet... Add a tablespoon of curry powder... stir and mix the two together until you really smell the curry... add chicken pieces... brown lightly... add half an onion (fine dice)... cook until soft... add can of chicken broth (low sodium/fat free)... add couscous for a one pot Moroccan explosion of flavor.

Diced and cooked with some RED HOT sauce - sour cream and shredded lettuce (and whatever other items you may want - mushrooms/onions/avocado - etc) on a tortilla wrap as a fajita.

Frozen chicken breasts in crock pot with Franks red hot sauce. Drain, shred and add more hot sauce. Make a salad, or a pita with lettuce, whatever veggies you like and fat free Blue Cheese Dressing. Tastes like buffalo wings with fraction of the calories.

Fajitas... 8 oz. sliced thin... brown in a cast iron skillet.... add bell peppers (1/2 each red&green)... add half sliced onion... 2 cloves of garlic... 1 tsp cumin... 1 Tbsp lime juice... grind in some pepper. Serve in La Tortilla factory tortillas (Low Carb whole wheat 80 calories and 12 grams of fiber each) top with fresh homemade pico de gallo(tomato, onion, cilantro, and lime juice)... nonfat greek yogurt (instead of sour cream)... avocado... between 225 and 250 calories each fajita depending on how you fill it.

lets see...

you can saute them in a little olive oil with white onions, green and red peppers, chopped garlic, cumin, and chili powder and lime juice there you will have some fresh fajitas...

you can also coat them in some panko brown the panko in a little olive oil or cooking spray then finish them off in the oven. so you still have someone healthy because you are baking them but they have a little crunch from the panko.

the best thing to do is just google something like "healthy chicken breast recipes" get the results and begin trying things.

Bic makes these instant light ready to cook on "charcoal" things. I use those. But we get good weather here for most of the year so it is no trouble to cook outside at all. When I lived in NY we had a George Forman grill that I loved for the 6 months of awful weather.

Have you tried nonfat greek yogurt instead of sour cream? I really like it... Also good with tomatillo salsa and cabbage instead of red hot sauce and lettuce...

I throw a couple of them in a slow cooker, add a pkg of taco seasoning (low sodium), then a jar of salsa. Cook all day, then when you get home, you shred the chicken using a fork (or two) then mix the lot together. I put that mixture on top of my salad and do not use any dressing.

Rain is nothing.... Try snowing or below zero temperatures

I'll second the cooked in Franks Hot Sauce but with added chipotle pepper or cajun seasoning, and served over salad with bleu cheese. Love spicy chicken on a salad!
