Favorite Chicken Breast Marinades or toppings?

Why not use something else for your protein? Like Peanut butter with your breakfast? Or have fish instead of chicken?0

one of many i like is
put breasts in a pan, dump salsa on top, bake until almost done, pull out and top with a sprinkle of mozzarella then cook until done. (more specific instructions would be based on oven type and chicken type/thickness)0 -

This is one of my favorites!

To cook it, I create a "pouch" for the chicken out of tin foil and bake it. Keeps the juices in and the chicken is SO TENDER! I then cut them to serving sizes and freeze them for my lunches during the week. Just be careful pulling it out of the oven. I've had one split on me before and it made a HUGE mess0 -
Try a tikka masala curry sauce. It's actually surprisingly low-cal. and the taste will change you life! It is so amazing! I usually serve it over rice or have homemade naan on the side, but it's just as good on its own if you're aiming for low carb meals.
This is the pre-made sauce that made me fall head over heels in love with Indian food!

I like to bake chicken breasts with teriyaki marinade and put sliced pineapples on top! YUM!0

almost forgot one of my faves - coconut chicken. lightly bread with shredded coconut. Use coconut milk and egg white for the wash.0

I love my Curry Chicken & Rice.. take frozen chicken tenderloins, sprinkle with curry powder, paprika, and black pepper. Drizzle with olive oil and bake at 350 for about 20 minutes. Meanwhile, dice 1 carrot, 1 small zucchini, and 1/2 onion. Saute veggies in a saucepan with Pam spray only. Add brown rice to the pan (I use Minute Maid Steam Fresh brown rice) and stir. Create a small hole in the middle of the pan and crack 1 egg into the center along with a small pat of light butter. Scramble the egg until cooked and then stir the rest of the rice/veggie mix together. Pull the chicken out of the oven and use some of the juice to keep the rice moist. Serve chicken over rice with a serving of frozen peas (after they have cooked of course). This dish has a nice Indian flavor. My daughter and husband love it also!

Check out skinnytaste.com; the chicken recipes are here: http://www.skinnytaste.com/2007/07/low-fat-chicken-recipes.html. She has a lot of great recipes. Some are more involved, but if you enjoy cooking, they are fun and delicious. I recently made "Chicken Rollatini with Spinach alla Parmigiana" and it was great... freezes well too.0

If you can find chicken/beef "rubs"?, they would be good. I use a Cuban "rub" that contains hot pepper, as well as other spices. I always add chopped garlic to most every meal.
I also sometimes roast garlic cloves for 7 minutes then add a small amount of butter and "rub" that over almost done chicken.
All are yummy and good for you!
ps- I am glad that my fiance loves salads and garlic as much as me! LoL!0 -

I did this a couple days ago. I had a jar of Trappey's sliced Jalapeno's hot in the fridge, so I poured the juice into a quart size ziplock bag (equaled about a cup) then I added 2 tbsp lemon pepper seasoning, 2 tbsp Italian seasoning. I add 2 chicken breast, mush and tossed in the fridge to marinade over night. The next night I removed the breast, and grilled them. I saved the marinade, deluded with water to equal 1 cup and boiled one cup of instant rice in that. OMG! best chicken and rice ever, and it had a little kick to it but wasn't really spicy hot.0

I just made skinnytastes's taco chicken chili (I think that's what it's called) and it's SUPER yummy AND has beans for extra protein. It's two cans of diced tomatoes, one small can tomatoe sauce, one taco seasoning packet, kidney beans, garbanzo beans (well whatever beans you like), chili powder, cumin...I added garlic and tumeric b/c I can. Then you add five or six chicken breasts and cook in slow cooker for 10 hours. Shred Chicken and BAM...tons of tasty food that's good for you too.0
