    Do you know how to grill chicken? I've never grilled, but it seems that it comes out so much better when someone grills it compared to anything else.
    When I do cook chicken, I'll dice it up and cook it in a pan on the stove. I don't use anything, just some crisco to coat the bottom. Maybe that's why it never comes out that great. Hmm.
    You could also try different spices and marinades and experiment a little bit.

    I either bake it in the oven with a bit of shake-n-bake coating or pan fry on medium heat with a bit of healthy oil like olive, flaxseed or Omega Oil which is a blend of grapeseed, olive and flaxseed oils.

    I either pan fry my chicken in Pam butter spray or bake it in the oven. Sometimes I just add a little salt and pepper if I am mixing the chicken in a casserole. I also love Emeril's seasoning if I am eating the chicken breast plain with a side of soup or vegetables.
    Tonight I had:
    4oz of chicken baked in the oven with salt and pepper
    steamed asparagus (or use green beans)
    brown rice
    fat free cream of mushroom
    Mix together and you have a semi-casserole!
    It's delicious and quick!
