I make chicken muffins. Use a muffin pan. Combine ground chicken approx 2lbs), 1/2 chopped onion, 1 garlic clove, 1 cup quick cook oats, 4 tablespoons of liquid eggs, Mix all together. Make into racquetball sized balls. Makes approx 12 @ 80calories each. Its very good.
Cook on 375 for approx 40 minutes. Or make chicken burgers.0 -
I make chicken taco salads. Spray pan with non-stick spray. Put ground chicken in to brown in pan. Flavor it with taco seasoning. I make my own because I want to avoid the sodium, but you can just use a package of store bought if you want to keep it easy. Make up BIG bowl of lettuce, throw on the cooked chicken, open a can of diced tomatoes - drain and add, add a can of refried beans or other beans if you have them and want to, add whatever miscellaneous chopped veggies you like (onions, peppers, olives), add fresh or jarred salsa, top with shredded cheese and/or sour cream. Stir to toss and serve. Yummy and takes like 10 or maybe 15 minutes to make?0

I make taco salad, similar to the above - except I add in loads of veggies to the chicken mix.
Brown the ground meat for a few minutes, then toss in chopped onions, peppers, jalapenos, carrot or broccoli slaw, and any other veggies you like. I also toss in diced or strained tomatoes once the meat is browned and the vegetables are soft and then lots of good homemade taco seasoning. Turn it to medium low and simmer to thicken and then serve over lettuce or spinach.
I often crisp up some corn tortilla strips in the oven as they go much further this way than just eating the tortillas whole.0 -
