Chicken Breast--What's your favorite way of cooking it?

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

Grilled chicken can get super boring real fast...If I do grill it, I try to top it with something amazing:

sauteed spinach with a small piece of mozzarella and chopped sundried tomatoes and basil
cold endive, radicchio and arugula salad

I would check out skinnytaste...the recipes are so easy and calorie conscious...http://www.skinnytaste.com/2011/08/chicken-rollatini-stuffed-with-zucchini.html

I like to put in on foil, drizzle it lightly with EVOO and then just add a little garlic powder and sliced shallots and then I wrap it up like a baked potato and put in under the broiler. The foil and olive oil holds in all the juices.............it's so good :happy: Another way I like to cook it is to butterfly the breast, sprinkle it with cayenne and cumin and then grill it on my foreman grills. I think slice it thin and eat it with grilled veggies

my favorite is marinate it in mustard and honey and grill yummm

Marinate in light balsamic ving dressing. Then broil for about 8 min each side. Add a pice of roasted red pepper & 1/2 slice mozzarella cheese. Broil another 2-3 min until cheese is melted.

I really like Montreal chicken seasoning. It has a nice orange citrus flavor. I also use this same spice mixed in with a tablespoon of barbecue sauce spread over a salmon filet baked in the oven. That is truly my favorite.

split it open, marinade with your favorite marinade, fill with a cheese stick wrapped in a low-cal, low-sodium lunch meat or basil leaves, or spinach leaves (this keeps the cheese from leaking away) and bake, nummy, nummy!

wrap it in bacon, then put it in a turkey, then wrap the turkey in bacon, and put it in a whole pig, then wrap the pig in bacon.....oh wait wrong thread......ummm chicken.....I like jerk seasoning on it. slow cook the chicken so its tender with veggies and jerk seasoning , jerk seasoning has a kick to it for spice, so careful how much you put in

I add black peppercorns and grill it with red and green peppers. I can eat it just like that or throw it all in a tortilla and make a chicken quesadilla or a southwest wrap with some cheese and either a little salsa and sour cream or with a bit of southwest veggie dip. It usually ranges from 450-550 calories with a tortilla or I just do broccoli and sweet baby rays for about 350-400 calories.

I like to use left over grilled chicken breast the next day by sautéing red, orange, yellow and green peppers with onions adding my own fajita seasoning then putting the sliced up chicken in to warm it up. Then you can eat it with brown rice or tortillas. If I use tortillas I usually get corn because they are lower in calories. I will also slice chicken breast into strips brown them in evoo then take them out of the pan. Then I put the same kind of peppers and onion and add some mushrooms and sautée all those together. I add garlic, basil, oregano and red chile flakes. Then I will add a can of diced tomatoes and a couple spoons of tomato paste to thicken the sauce. Put the chicken back in the pan and simmer for 20 minutes or so. Usually I serve it over whole wheat pasta and top it with some Parmesan cheese. My whole family loves both of these meals.

I like to crush pecan nuts up and put them in a pie plate with herbs and toss around. Then coat the top of the chichen breast with egg whites and press into the nut/herb mix. Bake them on a boiler sheet at 350 till done. Really good

I make pizza chicken

Spread tomato paste over the chicken breast, add a chopped couple of slices of salami, a chopped green onion, a shake of cajun seasoning, sliced mushroom and pepper, top with shredded low fat cheese and bake until chicken is cooked. Not alot of cals and the kids love it.
