    I use boneless skinless chicken tenderloins, or I filet regular breast in half so they are thinner and cook faster. I roll the meat in egg substitute to which I have added pepper. Then I roll them in crushed cornflakes and place on a baking sheet. I then spray them with a little olive oil spray and cook on 425 until done. My husband and son love them and they're not even dieting. This makes a great substitute for fried chicken, and we southerners love our fried chicken!

    Here is my favorite chicken taco recipe in the slow cooker. Not sure on nutritional info since I have never calculated it, but I think its fairly healthy if you don't load up on too many toppings.

    3 Frozen chicken breasts
    1 can corn drained
    1 can of black beans drained and rinsed
    1 can of rotel
    1 package of taco seasoning

    Put all in crockpot and cook on low for 8-10 hours. Shred chicken with fork when you get home. Serve in favorite hard shells or tortillas. Top with your favorite toppings - cheese, salsa, sour cream, etc.

    I think you could serve over rice too if you want some type of taco bowl or make a chicken taco salad out of it.

    I tried this on the weekend.

    Left out the black beans but I added crushed garlic and ginger and it was amazing! Thank you for the recipie. I will be using this a few times this winter.

    If you have a crock pot there are several SUPER SIMPLE recipes that you could try. One off the top of my head is:
    1 Lb chicken breast boneless skinless
    1 Large bag of mixed veg (frozen any brand)
    2 Jars Light Alfredo Sauce
    1/2 TBSP Black Pepper

    Just throw all that into the crock pot and set to high for about 5 or 6 hours. The recipe comes in at 8 servings under 200 calories a piece. I serve over either rice or whole wheat pasta. Yum.


    In fact chicken in the crock pot w/ any sauces is very good.

    This is my favorite chicken recipe. I substitute boneless skinless chicken breast for the wings.

    Ingredients
    3-4 lbs. chicken wings
    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).

    I always cook a whole chicken once a week for quick dinners or lunches. One of my favorite lunches lately has been a chicken breast reheated half way in microwave, but here is the best part..........

    I chop up 2 spring onions, chop up a few portabello mushrooms, some minced garlic (jarred is fine), and 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese.

    Add a tbsp water and garlic to saute pan get to high heat. Add in mushroom and onions and saute to your liking. I do it until there is no liquid left at all. (salt and pepper to taste)

    Now put shredded cheese on chicken breast top with sauted stuff and micro wave for an additional 30-60 secs.

    I eat alot of chicken so I am finding new ways to dress it up. Add whatever sides you want to it I like avocado and grapes.


    EDIT: I am going to start adding green peppers to this too just havent had any :drinker:

    This sounds yummy!!!! must try
    If you like chinese peanut chicken.....this recipe is on the back of the envelope of a taste of thai peanut sauce mix

    2-3 lbs boneless skinless chicken, I like to use chicken tenderloins
    A taste of Thai peanut sauce mix
    a can coconut milk, I use the light variety

    Oven to 350 degress; mix peanut sauce mix and coconut milk. Dredge chicken (both sides) in the mixture, I put the remaining sauce in with the chicken to bake. Bake uncovered for 25-30 minutes or until done, spoon extra sauce over rice or noodles. To make it really low cal, use shiratki noodles. It is great to satisfy the chinese craving for walnut or peanut chicken.

    Happy eating!!!
