Favorite Chicken Breast Marinades or toppings?

I love this post...because I love chicken! Thanks for all the ideas....

I make rosemary-lemon chicken, it's yummy and really easy

1. Use cut up chicken breast, leg, thigh etc
I usually broil my chicken for 10 minutes each side, it gets rid of all the access fat(the juices)

2. Marinade- Add ingredients in bowl
olive oil less than 1/4 cup
paprika 1 tsp
squeeze 1-2 lemon (depends on how acid you want it to be)
Garlic or garlic powder 1 tsp
Honey 1 tbsp or more if it's too lemony
Rose merry
Add water at the end

3. Place marinate all over chicken

4. Bake in oven for 45 minutes covered @350 degrees
5. Uncover, let bake for additional 10 minutes

Chicken comes out flavorful with a lot of sauce

Good Luck

My friend makes almond crusted chicken. It's pretty good, and loaded with protein.

If you have a good nonstick pan, sauté about a cup or so of sliced mushrooms, bake chicken as you described, take out of the oven top with honey mustard (recipe follows) sautéed mushrooms, one slice of Pan cooked bacon (only about 20 calories if you only use one slice) and cover with 1 oz of Cabot 60 calorie sharp cheddar. Return to the oven and melt the cheese, it's a lighter version of Alice springs chicken from outback, and it's awesome.

For honey mustard, mix 1/4c plain Greek dressing, 1 tbsp grey poupon Dijon mustard, and 1 tbsp honey.

My favorites are Newman's Lowfat Sesame/Ginger Dressing, and Newman's chunky mild Peach Salsa.

Try this recipe,my fav. 5 chicken breasts bake till cooked.chop and add 1 bag frozen broccoli.stir together. Mix container of ff sour cream. 1-2 tbsp chicken boullion, tsp garlic and pepper. Stir together with broc/chicken. Add 1 cup low fat grated cheese to the mixture(i like the tex mex) stir all together and bake for 30 min at 350. this makes a large casserole dish but great for leftovers and freezing.

If doing lemon pepper, I also add garlic powder & onion powder or minced onion.

Sometimes a simple rub with Lawry's seasoning & rub for poultry.

If you don't have issues with dairy, get the powdered Hidden Valley Ranch dressing mix & use as a yummy ranch rub.

3 simple marinades are to coat in Garlic Expressions dressing, Jack Daniels Honey Smokehouse barbecue sauce, or Terrapin Ridge Farms spicy chipotle sauce.

More work, but still pretty easy is Montego Chicken. Marinade 4 boneless skinless breasts at least 1 hour in 2T each of olive oil & reduced sodium soy sauce, 4T white wine vinegar, lime juice, & Jamaican jerk seasoning, and 1 cup orange juice.

I also make my own salt-free taco seasoning and brown ground white chicken then make healthy taco salads with chopped tomatoes, onions, salsa, light cheddar shreds, lettuce, no deep fried bowl! I do sometimes add fat free refried beans.

I have more, but that should give you a start.

I didnt read through the whole thread to see if someone else mentioned this or not, but I am sure you have seen the salsa chicken recipe on here. I tried it last night and OMG. I put it in the crock pot (1 lb boneless skinless breasts, 1 jar salsa, 1 packet taco seasoning) on WARM for 10 hours. shredded so easily with a fork. wow Im telling you it was so easy and so delicious. I made little shredded chicken tacos with it. so yummy, cheap, easy.
