We have chicken grilled on the George Foreman pretty often. We switch up the seasoning and marinades, but I would love some original, new chicken recipes..possibly crock pot ones??

    I made a chicken and veg soup that I think is pretty healthy and tastes fab!!

    2 chicken breasts cut into bite size pieces
    1 clove garlic finely finely diced
    3 baby courgettes diced
    50-100g of green beans cut into 2cm lengths
    3 sticks of celery cut up
    100g diced mixed cabbage (asda do ready cut bags)
    Chicken stock made using one cube Knorr stock cube = 450mls
    500mls boiling water

    In a large saucepan add a little ground nut or olive oil and gently fry garlic and cut up chicken until chicken all coloured. Add green beans and celery and cook for 5-10mins. Add courgettes and cabbage, cook for 5 mins. Add stock and water, season to taste and then simmer for 20-30 mins until chicken done. I leave it chunky but you can blend if you prefer a smoother soup.

    I think I read this basic recipe on here actually....I made it the other night and everyone loved it. Super easy.

    Chicken breasts
    Jar of Salsa
    Can of black beans
    Envelope of taco seasoning

    (I used the extra large jar of salsa and 2 cans of black beans so we would have left overs).

    Put in chicken, dump all else on top. When chicken in done, take it out and shred it with forks. Put back in, stir and enjoy.
    YUM!

    My husband likes this: get 5 0r 6 large fresh tomatoes, or two cans of tomatoes. Whatever you like. 4 chicken thighs, or beasts, place chicken and tomatoes in crock pot, season with salt, pepper and basil, and garlic to taste. (or just use a jar of pasta sauce if you find it easier) cook on low 5-6 hours.
    One that I enjoy is, take a left over chilled chicken breast, slice crosswise onto 1/2" pieces. coat with olive oil, then toss in a spice mixture of turmeric, salt, pepper, curry, and garlic. Cook on each side just until golden.

    Buffalo Chicken & Potatoes (2 servings)
    1 tsp of chipotle sauce
    1 tbls olive oil
    1.5 tsp garlic powder
    1.25 tsp paprika
    .5 tsp salt substitute
    12 oz cubed potatoes (I use the teeny tiny yellow ones and cut them in 1/3)
    Mix all of the ingredients above into a large Ziploc bag, shake until all coated then put mixture in a 400* oven until potatoes are cooked, 30 or 40 minutes stirring every 10 minutes.

    Meanwhile add 1 Can of chicken breast, rinsed and patted dry, to the Ziploc bag and coat with remaining mixture. When potatoes are done, take out and add chicken and top with 1/2 cup light mozzarella cheese and some diced green onions. Return to oven for about 10 minutes. I like to crispy the cheese under the broiler for a minute or two.

    I make this all the time, it's really good on a bed of lettuce with some salsa and sour cream, maybe some shredded cheese if you are splurging. It's also good in soft corn tortillas for tacos, if you don't use crispy shells you avoid the oil. You could make this in a crock pot, but I usually just boil it on the stove in my 4 quart pot.

    Shredded Chicken for Tacos, Salads Burritos Etc.
    1 1/2lbs. chicken breasts, boneless skinless( about 3-4 )
    4 cups water
    1 teas. salt
    1/3 teas. pepper
    1/2 teas. garlic powder
    1 teas. onion powder
    2 teas. chili powder
    1 teas. dry oregano
    1/4 teas. cumin powder

    Thoroughly wash your chicken and then simply add all of the ingredients to a medium to large skillet, or, sauce pan big enough to hold everything. Bring it to a boil and boil for about 10 minutes. Reduce heat to low to medium low and simmer for about 30 minutes with the lid cracked. You’re looking for a nice little bubble.

    After about 40 minutes, most but not all of the liquid should have evaporated and the chicken should be falling apart when poked with a spoon or spatula. Go ahead and shred it with your spatula or spoon and remove from heat to cool slightly. It should look like the picture. It’s ready for tacos.

    I do something similiar but in the oven. I season chicken breast with taco or chili seasoning (whatever I have). Brown on both sides. Transfer to a baking dish and top with rotel diced tomatoes, mexican corn, and black beans (I drain all them first). Bake for 20 min, add mexican cheese and bake until cheese is melted. My kids love it

    Take the same chicken you grill on the forman, but top it with sauteed peppers, mushrooms and onion. I saute red and green bell pepper, onion strips with sliced mushrooms in a little oil olive. when soft add some tomato paste and a little water. Simmer and pour over your chicken. Yum!

    How about some Asian flair?

    1/2 cup orange marmalade
    1/2 cup orange juice
    2 tbsp honey
    2 tbsp soy sauce
    1 tsp ground ginger

    Toss all your ingredients in a sauce pan and bring to a boil. Lower heat to about medium and cook until it thickens, stirring every so often. Pour over your grilled chicken and happy eating! I seriously adore this sauce. And it's so darn easy to make!

    Last night I cute chicken breasts into strips (like a tenderloin, just didn't have any on hand) and rolled them in brown sugar mixed with chili powder. Then I wrapped a piece of bacon around them and put a little more of the brown sugar mixture over the top. I cooked it in the oven (375 for about 20 minutes or so) and then turned on the broiler to make the bacon crispier.
    It was delicious! ALL of the family loved it. :)

    My go-to recipe is Mozzarella and Spinach stuffed chicken!
    And the recipe can be adjusted to however many people you're looking to feed

    Preheat oven to 425 degrees
    4 chicken breasts
    Spinach
    Fat free Mozzarella shredded cheese
    Whichever seasonings you like most (I usually use garlic powder, onion powder, italian seasoning, chili powder, and oregano)

    Pound out the chicken so that they're long and wide enough to be rolled up. In a bowl mix sauteed or steamed spinach (however much you'd like), the seasonings, and the shredded cheese. Lay the mix out on top of each breast, then roll up and use a toothpick to hold together. Sprinkle either whatever seasoning is left or any other seasoning on top of each breast and bake for about 20-25 minutes.
    I usually serve with a side of brown rice and either steamed or sauteed veggies. :-)

    Place 3 chicken breasts in crock pot - I envelope low sodium taco seasoning and one envelope Hidden Valley Ranch Dressing (powder) and one can each:
    Rotel - mild
    White whole kernel corn
    Black beans
    Low sodium red kidney beans

    Let simmer all day and then shred chicken at end of cooking (6-7 hours) and you can serve this on whole wheat flour tortillas, as a soup or also serve over brown rice. Top with light sour cream or greek yogurt!

    Nutrition:
    239 calories - 1 cup serving size.

    Makes a lot and I freeze 1 cup serving size in ziplock baggies and freeze - take out when needed for a quick snack or meal.

    One of my fav go to chicken recipes that takes barely any prep time at all:

    Preheat oven to 350

    Place 4 chicken breasts in a glass pan (best if you pound so all of them are the same thickness, and helps to reduce cooking time)
    about 4-6 squirts of parkay spray
    salad supreme (liberally sprinkle according to your taste)
    1-2 tsp parmesan cheese

    cover with foil and bake for 45 minutes, uncover and bake for an additional 10 minutes to get the topping a nice golden brown.

    I serve with just about anything under the sun, but our fav is with a baked potato and broccoli.

    Depending on the size of the breast it is about 175-200 calories, salad supreme adds a ton of flavor with minimal calories :wink:

    my mom discovered this white chicken chili recipe from men's health one day while working out. It's really good, and only takes about 30 minutes. I don't like beans so when I cook it for myself I just don't add the beans. My parents like to serve this over steamed rice.

    This makes 8 servings with only 270 calories.

    Perfect timing. I took out some chicken this morning and have no idea what to do. This seems simple enough. :smile:
