My basic is Grilled Chicken Breast (boneless skinless) sliced thin, Sprinkled with cheese (melted) / 1/2 cup fresh salsa ( the kind where you only see the veggies not the sauce kind) and baked scoops. I've had it A LOT so I am thankful for your post0

I just made some Lemon chicken last night.
Took 2 breasts, pounded them out. Then sprinkle some salt, tiny bit of Italian seasoning & pepper on both side, add some minced garlic & half of a squeezed lemon. I pan "fried" it in a tiny bit of olive oil.
It was really good & easy.0 -
Jerk Chicken
2 TBS yellow mustard
juice of 1 lime
juice of 1/2 lemon
3 habenero peppers
1 TBS cider vinegar
1 TBS chopped cilantro
2 scallions sliced
In a blender or small food processor, combine the ingredients above and puree to liquify.
Then add:
1 TBS dried rosemary
1 TBS dried thyme
1 TBS dried basil
1 TBS mustard seeds
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp ground black pepper
and blend to make the Jerk paste/marinade.
Marinate 4, 100 gram chunks of chicken breasts for a couple of hours or overnight.
Prepare the grill and cook the chicken breasts for aprox. 4-5 minutes per side depending on thickness. Try not to move them around too much. The rub will make a crust on the chicken. The inside temperature should be 160 dg/f.
Serve with Citrus Cabbage Slaw

Chicken and Cheese Skillet - my specialty!
Marinate chicken breasts with olive oil, red pepper flakes, black pepper, chopped garlic and parsley for at least 2 hours.
Quarter a large onion and dice up a green pepper - large chunks work the best.
Throw the chicken onto an electric skillet for about 5 - QP minutes, then add the veggies. When chicken is fully cooked, add a slice of cheese and let melt. My favorite is stacking the chicken on top the veggies so the melted cheese makes the veggies gooey and delicious. Voila, easy meal.0 -
I'll start out with the recipe that my husband said was the best chicken I ever made him
http://www.skinnytaste.com/2012/04/cheesy-jalapeno-popper-baked-stuffed.html
This is another runner up. I started with this recipe, now we omit the sauce and put the taco seasoning on it (still heat it in the frying pan as directed). I use the homemade taco seasoning linked on the page. Awesome on salad, rice, in a wrap, whatever
http://danicasdaily.com/the-best-spicy-shredded-chicken-recipe/
Our basic chicken - heat a frying pan that can go in the over with a little oil. Season chicken breast, we use just salt and pepper, or add cayenne, or get fancy with other mixes like a greek or italian, when the pan is nice and hot, put the chicken in about 3 minutes per side (should be nice and brown on outside if pan is hot enough), then put into the oven for another 10-15 depending on thickness. this keeps the chicken nice and moist.0 -
Coca Cola Chicken (an easy version of teriyaki)
Brown some chicken pieces with garlic. Toss in a small can of coke (regular, not diet) and several lashings of soy sauce. Simmer uncovered for 40 minutes until chicken is done. Turn occasionally and add a little water if necessary if sauce is reducing too quickly during cooking. When chicken is about done, turn up the heat and boil furiously to reduce the sauce to a syrupy caramelized mass.0 -
Thanks for this suggestion. I'm terribly picky but I'm going to do a twist on your suggestion which I wouldn't 'have thought of except for your post.2 parts raw honey
2 parts lemon juice
1 part balsamic vinegar
Marinade any meat for approximately 2 hours and cook either on the stove, in the oven, or on the grill (my favorite)! I make boneless skinless thighs this way several times a week. SO GOOD0 -
I make this spicy peanut sauce and use half as a marinade for boneless chicken breasts or thighs, and reserve the other half for warming up and pouring over chicken on a bed of rice or pasta and/or veggies. Like a peanut satay sauce made with stuff I have in my pantry.
4tbsp. peanut butter
4tbsp. hot water
2tbsp soy sauce
1tbsp. brown sugar
1/2 tbsp. lemon juice
1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper (or to taste)
Whisk together the PB and hot water until it becomes smooth. Add the rest of the ingredients and whisk. Taste and adjust
seasoning to your taste. Enjoy!0 -

Hmmm,alot of these ideas and sauces, marinades can be used with tofu & or veggie stirfry,like the spicy peanut sauce for instance. Id sub coconut aminos for any soy though, its better for you, and less sodi0

If you go to my shredded chicken link, the link for the homemade seasoning takes you to a vegetarian recipe that calls for the seasoning.

Quinoa Flake Chicken
Marinate chicken pieces for a few hours in buttermilk with garlic salt. Dredge with quinoa flakes. Place on a baking tray and spritz with olive oil. Bake at 200C for around 40 minutes for thighs. Breasts will be done in around 30. Very crunchy and takes care of my KFC cravings.0 -

PARMESAN CHICKEN BAKE
INGREDIENTS:
6 chicken breasts
... 1 C light mayonaise or greek yogurt (I have done 1/2 of each as well)
1/2 c fresh parmesan cheese, plus more for the top
1 1/2 tsp seasoning salt (This is NOT regular table salt. It is a mixture of seasonings)
1/2 tsp pepper
1 tsp garlic powder
DIRECTIONS :
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees and spray the inside of a 9x13 glass pan. Lay the chicken inside the pan.
2. Mix together the remaining ingredients and spread evenly over each piece of chicken, being sure to cover all the exposed raw meat (so it doesn't dry out.) Sprinkle on a bit more fresh parmesan over all the chicken.
3. Bake uncovered for 45 minutes. This dish is even better the next day, so just reheat in the microwave!
**Some have commented that this dish was way too salty. Please be sure you are using fresh parmesan cheese, not the stuff from a can. Also, use seasoning salt, NOT table salt. I have made this many, many times and have never had trouble with the salt level. If you are worried, use less but please don't make substitutes0 -
These sound sooooooo yummy!! Thank you!! .....bump!0
