Crock Pot Recipe;

Put 2-3 chicken breasts (fresh or frozen) in bottom of crock pot.
Mix 2-3 TBSP of taco or fajita seasoning with double the amount of water (I eye it...you can add extra water if you need) pour over chicken and cook on high for 3-4 hours or low 6-8 hrs.

Shred chicken and you can use it in so many things. You can put in wraps, make enchiladas, taco salads, etc. Super easy.

Chipotle-Chicken Salad (my style)

1. Romaine Lettuce
2. Grilled Chicken
3. Black Beans
4. Corn
5. Tomatoes
6. Scallions

For the dressing:
1. Lime juice
2. Rice vinegar
3. Honey
4. Garlic
5.Chipotle chillies
6. Cilantro

Prepare the dressing by mixing all the ingredients together and adding chopped cilantro on top.

When I don't feel like cooking, I put a chicken breast in a covered oven safe dish with some BBQ sauce and Balsamic Vinagrette mix (about 1/2 cup BBQ sauce, 2-3 tablespoons dressing) and bake it until it reaches 160 degrees. Then I steam some cauliflower or broccoli as a side. And sometimes make some quick Near East couscous b/c it only takes 5 minutes. Easiest meal ever.

I keep pan seared chicken breast in my frig, I diced them up. I make pasta with vegetables, then add some sauteed tomatoes and some cheeses. I usually add some olive oil with a little bit of butter or have enough liquid where I can add a bouillon for taste. Lately though I've been buying stir fry sauces and adding to my chicken with vegetables and rice. But having that chicken in the frig already done is a blessing. I do the same thing to ground meat, just have it browned off and seasoned. Make wraps or salads.

5+lbs skinned chicken through grinder

2 eggs
3 cups of oatmeal blended in a blender dry (creates a powder)
mix all in a bowl and once more through the grinder

chicken burgers

boneless, skinless chix breast, pounded so relatively the same thickness
sprinkle/coat with blackening seasoning (I coat-like the heat)
seer in olive oil sprayed pan about 7-8 minutes per side
place pan in 350 oven and cook until juices run clear

I usually serve with salad/steamed veggies &/or brown rice

Garlic-Lime Chicken
Adapted from All Recipes

3/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/8 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/8 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
1/4 teaspoon dried parsley
4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves

2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 teaspoons garlic powder
3 tablespoons lime juice

1. In a small bowl, mix together salt, black pepper, cayenne, paprika, 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, onion powder, thyme and parsley. Sprinkle spice mixture generously on both sides of chicken breasts.
2. Heat butter and olive oil in a large heavy skillet over medium heat. Saute chicken until golden brown, about 6 minutes on each side. Sprinkle with 2 teaspoons garlic powder and lime juice. Cook 5 minutes, stirring frequently to coat evenly with sauce.

I would cut back on the salt by a third however and although the butter makes it yummy I do use olive oil and I do pound out the breast so it cooks evenly. For those who don't do spicy omit the cayenne and use smoked paprika.
