Chicken brest ideas?

2 of my favs: Marinate in italian dressing (light or fat free) and bake or just bake w/some your fav seasonings and a little Mccormicks grill mates Mesquite. Simple yet tasty!!!

Which way does it need to be cooked ?

steamed chicken is not yummie and I am a big fan of steaming ... however if it needs to be steamed (not cooked in water) then I would work with herbs.

take chickenbreast put salt, pepper, majoran on both sides and steam it
or
take chickenbreast put salt, pepper, mint on both sides and steam it
or
take chickenbreast put salt, pepper, garlic on both sides and steam it with lemon slices on top
or
put it on a skewer chicken, bellpepper, onion, cicken, bellpepper, onion, chicken etc and put salt pepper on top and steam it
or
put it on a skewer chicken, bellpepper, onion, cicken, bellpepper, onion, chicken etc and put salt, pepper oregano on top and steam it

guess you get the idea ...

alternative grill all of the above

if you really want to cook it in liquid then make a vegetable fond and cook it in there

have one I had for dinner just tonight - is very friendly to the tummy and to being played with - and I noticed that you seem to only have "boiling" for a method of cooking.

what about an outdoor grill?

boiling takes out SO many nutrients from the food as well as the flavor -

you can get a vacuum sealer that has bags that will hold up to boiling water you can hold onto a lot more of that flavor and more of the nutrients.

like Nyranee sugests - herbs are friends - fresh ones pressed to the meat - or inside of -

cooking inside of a heat resistant pouch will allow you to use marinades & such while boiling.

head over to food network - look up the recipe for "ranch chicken sandwich" from Ree Drummond - the founder of Food Network - the marinade is wonderfully light in flavor - and it's low carb, low fat (as long as you don't use the cheese or bacon) and you can adjust the acid and heat in the recipe by how much honey, pepper flakes, and lemon juice you use. (less or more)

WITH the bacon (and I used extra thick, brown sugar cured bacon) & extra cheese it came out to 423 calories per serving - and I know thats wrong because it's really hard to input bulk items sometimes into the recipe program. (you have measurements for tablespoons & cups but the program has only grams & teaspoons) - I did some guessing there.

I could give you more recipes if I knew why you were limited to boiling for cooking method

Make a chicken cordon blue!

Pound out a chicken breast until it's flat.
Place sliced ham, and low fat swiss inside the chicken, then roll it up.
Top with pre-made Stove Top Stuffing
Bake in oven on 400 until it's cooked.

Enjoy

Hi guys! I am looking for some good recipe for a chicken brest. It has to be diet friendly but also not spicy and cannot be fried or maked. I am on diet (who else isn't here!) and it comes with restrictions. This time I am also going to eat with my mother who for health resons can only eat cooked food and it cannot be too spicy. Any sugestions?

I like all in one bowl meals. Here is my favorite.

chicken tenderloins cut into smaller chunks (4 to 6 oz per person)
1/2 cup of cooked quinoa per person
1 to 2 cups of spinach per person
julienned carrots (1/2 cup per person)
Laughing Cow Cheese

Spray pan with Pam. Cook the chicken in whatever spices you like. Add carrots for 1 min., then add quinoa until warm. Turn off burner, and add spinach just until wilted. Melt the laughing cow cheese into the mixture and serve.


You can put ANYTHING in this. Substitute rice for quinoa, pork for chicken, add avocado...whatever. Just have fun with it and suit it to your tastes. Good luck.

Chicken breast has a tendency to dry out when cooked, so I put mine in a brine for 3 hours and then grilled it.

It was something different and not a lot of effort.

Use the pressure cooker and lightly sprinkle some lemon pepper (not spicy my 8 yr old ASD son will eat it and he can't tolerate anything spicy) on it. I usually put mine in a foil pan with an inch of water, add the lemon pepper than cook on the grill- comes out moist and is so good, if using the grill method flip chicken every few minutes.

My favorite chicken right now:

Boneless skinless chicken breasts
I packet of dry italian seasoning
parmesan cheese
garlic powder
shredded cheese

mix the dry italian seasoning, parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and shredded cheese together. Dip the chicken into the mix and bake at 350 for 20-30 minutes

its has such good flavor. I usually cut the chicken breasts in half and dip them into the mix
