    Can you go to the store? Or do you just want to use what you have around the house? What else do you have?

    I made 'The Biggest Loser' Enchilada Chicken the other night and loved it... Only 162 cal. per serving, too!

    Risotto with fennel and peas. Big hit on a comfort food level. *I like it better without the wine.

    Sautee some sliced cherry tomatoes with basil, spinach, and olive oil and put that with the chicken over egg noodles. It is easy, good and healthy. I add pepper, sea salt, and a dash or Locatelli cheese if I have the calories to spare.

    Yeah My Husband is going to the store to pick up some other things after he gets off work.

    Lets see I already have at home, diced tomatos (canned, no salt added), brown rice, mushrooms, red potatoes, cream of chicken and mushroom soup, black beans... just to name a few things, but I can give him a couple more things to add to his list to pick up, (both of us are currently at work) We are also suppose to have a snow storm tonight into tomorrow so he's picking up milk and bread, HAHA!

    You could do a cheesy chicken and rice bake. It sounds like you already have most of the ingredients.

    I cooked it for my husband the other day to try something new and he loved it so much he put it in the recipe book.

    Marinate in tequila, some fresh lime juice, and minced garlic and cilantro for like an hour. Lightly season with salt and pepper, grill or saute until cooked through, and top with pico de gallo (tomatoes, red onion, cilantro, lime juice, and jalapeno) or mango salsa (cucumber, jalapeno, mangoes, cilantro, red onion). I would serve it with maybe a side of rice, a big salad, or some black bean soup, or some combination of two :)

    My favorite is 1 cup peanut satay sauce and 1 cup salsa - cover chicken and bake.

    I heard about the snow storm, I think we are getting hit too! Stay warm! You could always cut the chicken up, cook it with some veggies and serve it over the brown rice.
    Something that my fiance likes that has chicken in it that I make, is this chicken with vodka sauce and spinach. I just buy the canned vodka sauce and canned spinach....I cut the chicken up in bite size pieces, fry it in a pan with a little olive oil. In the meantime I have the vodka sauce in a pot and I drain the can of spinach and add the spinach to simmer with the vodka sauce. This is all over noodles, any kind you want...I use like ziti noodles. Once the chicken is done, I add it to the pot with the sauce and spinach and let it heat up and then it is done :) I just put a pile of noodles on a plate and add the chicken, vodka sauce, and spinach on top. It's delicious! And it's quick and easy and doesn't have many ingredients :) I put parmesan cheese on top of mine! I'm not sure of the calories, I have never calculated it out.

    Chicken piccata SUPER easy! Sautee the chicken in a little bit of butter and olive oil. I sometimes also add fresh garlic too. Sprinkle the chicken with lemon pepper seasoning and place in the hot pan. Once both sides are a nice golden brown, squeeze fresh lemon juice on the chicken...you can be liberal with it depending on taste. Turn heat down to low and add capers to the top as well as a bit of white wine. Sautee for just a bit longer to reduce the wine, lemon, EVOO mixture. Serve with fresh green beans and brown rice!
