    hello! here's a chicken dish i love to make:

    Ingredients:
    1 boneless, skinless chicken breast
    1 medium carrot, peeled and sliced
    1 cup chopped cauliflower
    10 slices of zucchini, with each slice cut into quarters
    1/4 of an eggplant, sliced and cut into quarters
    2 small shallots, sliced
    1 tbsp whole grain mustard
    2 tsp dijon mustard
    1/2 tbsp olive oil
    fresh thyme
    fresh rosemary
    black pepper


    First, steam the cauliflower and carrots, but not all the way. they should still be quite firm. This will cut down on cooking time in the oven. Set aside.

    Mix mustard and olive oil and herbs together. toss the remaing vegetables and place in a roasting dish. Coat the chicken in the mustard mixture and place on top of vegetables. Coat the cauli and carrots but don't add yet. Bake at 220C (just over 400F) for about 15 minutes. Add the carrots and cauliflower and bake a further 10-15 minutes (until the chicken is cooked through)

    This meal is 276 calories. Usually this amount of veggies is a bit too much for me, so you could add another chicken breast and make 2 meals, or eat the rest of the veggies later. Enjoy!

    Last night I baked chicken breasts then when they were cooked I spooned on a couple of tablespoons of pasta sauce, broke up a piece of light laughing cow cheese over top and served it on 1/2 a whole wheat pita and it was delicious!!

    This is originally a wing recipe, but the sauce is so good I changed it for chicken breasts.


    Ingredients
    4-6 boneless skinless chicken breast.
    1 tablespoon corn starch
    1-1/3 cups soy sauce
    1/3 cup Mirin rice cooking wine* (or other white wine)
    1/2 cup honey
    1 tablespoon minced garlic
    1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
    2-3 tablespoons Sriracha chili sauce* (or other hot chili sauce); omit chili sauce altogether for mild, sweet wings
    Directions
    Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Cut chicken wings into sections at their joints, discarding the tips. Arrange wing pieces in a single layer in baking dish that has been coated with cooking spray. In small bowl, combine cornstarch with 1 tablespoon water. In separate bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, Mirin, honey, garlic, ginger, chili sauce, and cornstarch mixture. Pour sauce over chicken wings. Bake uncovered for 1 hour and 15 minutes; turning wings over in pan every 25 minutes. Remove from oven and leave in baking dish for 10 minutes. The sauce will thicken as it cools. With tongs, roll each wing in the sauce to coat it completely; place on platter and serve.

    *Mirin cooking wine and Sriracha chili sauce are usually found in the Asian aisle of your grocery store.

    Nutritional Information. For 2 wing sections (or one whole wing), 74 calories, 2.5g fat, 10.5g carbs, 8.1g sugars, 3.6g protein, 9g fiber; Weight Watchers PointsPlus: 2 (or 1 point per wing section).
    Miam! Sounds great!

    New to myfitnesspal.com. The way I make it is cut in thin strips add chicken seasoning pound with hammer. Then soak in low fat ranch dressing the longer the better. Cook on G forman grill for 10 mins or until done. Dip in ranch or bbq . Thanks SK we eat this at least 2 times a week.

    Weber's Beer Can Chicken seasoning adds a lot of flavor to plain chicken breasts. I sprinkle it on and either grill the chicken on the BBQ or else cook it in a pan with half a tablespoon of olive oil and half a tablespoon of earth balance or butter. Cook until browned on both sides, and then I add a half cup of chicken broth and simmer for a few minutes. Serve with a salad, vegetables, rice or potatoes as you prefer. Even the chicken haters in my house will eat this.

    I have chicken breasts marinating in teriyaki sauce right now for supper tonight. I just pound them with a meat mallet so they are the same thickness and let them marinate in the refrigerator in a gallon zip loc bag with teriyaki sauce. I will grill them on my George Forman grill. We are having baked sweet potatoes and green beans with them.
    Really easy and you can buy ready made sauces in different flavors or make your own.

    lol..did you try all the recipes?

    Tonight I had kebabs...chicken breast cut into cubes, marinated for just five minutes in soy sauce, tons of pre chopped garlic and real maple syrup. Put it on a stick, grill it. Grilled peppers and onions with it. Dipping sauces : extra of the garlic maple soy, and another one is 1/2 c real mayo, 1/2 c sour cream, add chopped rosemary and garlic to taste. This is my favorite dinner ever.

    I love this one: pound chicken breasts flat, saute onions, garlic,scallions in olive oil, add chopped spinach, dill, salt, pepper & cook another minute, mix in feta & ricotta cheese. put mixture on chicken breast & roll up. dip in egg & bread crumbs & bake seem side down. Really good. You can make up your own "stuffing" I've also baked it in cream of mushroom soup

    I made this MFP recipe yesterday .... Caprese Chicken ... I adjusted the recipe by using the marinade on the chicken (rather than on the broccoli) and served this with roasted veggies, corn on the cob and broccoli. The kids loved it!

    I like to cut mine into pieces and marinate it in sofrito and sazon for about a day, and then pan fry it with some onion the next day (without oil) and eat it with yellow cauli rice & beans :)

    My favorite stir fry, it's way better than any take out I've ever had. I use chicken breasts, served over white rice and include canned baby corn in the veggie mix.
