    This is my all time favorite recipe ... very yummy!!!

    Gingered Chicken with Mango Recipe

    • Olive oil
    • 2 cloves fresh garlic, crushed
    • 2 pounds chicken breast fillets, skinned
    • 1 cup peeled and diced mangoes
    • 1/4 cup dark brown sugar (I use two sweetners instead)
    • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground cloves
    • 2 teaspoons ground ginger
    • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
    • 1 teaspoon soy sauce
    • Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

    Heat the oil in a heavy frying pan. Add the garlic and saute for a few minutes.
    Then, add the chicken fillets. Cook for about 15 to 20 minutes until the chicken is cooked through. Meanwhile, in a medium-sized bowl, combine the mango with the sugar, cloves, ginger, and nutmeg. Pour the mixture over the cooked fillets and gently mix to cover the chicken pieces. Add soy sauce, salt, and pepper to taste. Cook for about 10 more minutes.

    I tried this today....so yummy!

    Hominy and Tomatoes. In crockpot layer 4 chicken thighs and diced tomatoes, 1 medium onion, garlci and 1 can hominy (drained). Bake on high 4 hrs or on low 8 hrs. If you like it spicy add some green chilies and tomatillos.

    I buy boneless skinless chicken thighs and run them through my meat grinder. They make the best burgers! Moist with a wonderful texture. The ground meat takes on any flavor you want to make it. I also use the ground thigh meat in any recipe that calls for any type of ground meat. Great in spaghetti, meatloaf, tacos and heck, I also just sprinkle a little garlic powder on and fry a patty to eat with veggies, etc. I also eat chicken thighs whole, but the ground tastes better to me, probably because the little fat that's in them is evenly distributed. I paid about $110 for my electric meat grinder and it's worth its weight in gold. Makes good sausages as well...oh, ground chicken thighs also make the best sausage, whether it's Italian or breakfast.

    The combination of spices in this recipe looks a little strange, but you gotta try it! This stuff is delicious and easy to make!

    Chicken Chili With a Kick


    1 lb. ground chicken breast (or turkey)
    1 cup chopped onion
    1 can Italian style diced tomatoes
    1 cup tomato sauce
    1 cup water
    4 tsp chili powder
    2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
    2 tsp white wine vinegar (or 1 1/2 tsp regular vinegar)
    2 bay leaves
    1/2 tsp salt
    1/2 tsp garlic powder
    1/8 tsp each, cinnamon and allspice
    1/2 tsp cayenne (or to taste)
    1 cup cooked rice (basmati or wild mix holds up best in this recipe)

    Spray large pot with nonstick cooking spray and heat over medium-high heat; add crumbled chicken and onion. Cook stirring occasionally, until meat is slightly browned, about 5 minutes. Add remaining ingredients, except rice, and stir well to combine. Reduce heat to low and let simmer, stirring occasionally, until chili is thick, 25 to 30 minutes. Add rice during last 5 to 10 minutes. Remove bay leaves before serving.

    Makes 4 servings.

    I know you're looking for chicken recipes, but in the first page you mentioned being open to other sources of proteins. This is one of my favorite fish recipes:

    Oven Honey-Baked Salmon (1 serving is approximately 4-6 oz.)

    Preheat oven to 400

    1 large salmon filet (skin attached) (thawed)
    Pam baking spray
    1/4 cup honey
    1 tbsp molasses
    2 tsp salt

    Spray glass pan with Pam liberally until pan is thoroughly coated but not dripping. Lay salmon skin-side down. In small bowl, mix honey, salt, and molasses until well mixed. Use basting brush to brush top of the salmon with mixture. Use aluminum foil to cover glass pan.

    Bake covered for 15-25 minutes until salmon flakes easily with a fork.

    This recipe is very tasty and leaves the salmon very moist with a great sweet flavor.

    Goes well with rice.

    There is some AWESOME pineapple habanero bottled sauce from Costco that goes amazingly well with chicken. (Fish, too) Spoon a few tablespoons over chicken breast, cover with foil and bake until done. It is SO good, and quite spicy, so it's not for pu**ies!

    I love my crockpot and chicken does well in it. I will put chicken breast in the crockpot with bbq sauce and when I get home shredd it in the sauce. I also make chicken chili the same way but follow the McCormick spice packet. Oh and I also make shredded chicken tacos with either taco seasoning and a little water or salsa for more of a chunkiness.

    An easy one I like is take bone in thighs and or leg quarters sprinkle season salt and garlic salt blend and bake covered 350 for 2 hours and remove cover for another hour....so tender it falls apart when you get it out of the pan!

    We boil water put the chicken in it for about 15 mins. Take it out and cut it but not all the way through. we then put Turkey bacon and cheese in the slit and seal it back with tooth picks and bake it at 400 for 20-25 mins. It very tender and juicy. One of our favorite meals

    cacchiatore!

    2 bell peppers, sliced into thin strips
    1 medium onion, sliced into thin strips
    2-5 cloves garlic, minced (depends on how much you like garlic!)
    6lbs chicken (i use leg quarters or thighs, after removing the skin!)
    *4 - 6 medium tomatoes, diced
    basil, oregano, parsley, salt, pepper (to taste)

    in a crock pot, spread out the peppers and onions on the bottom of the crock. place the chicken and garlic on top. mix tomatoes and seasoning and pour over chicken. low for 6-8 hours or high for 4 hours. serve over rice, spaghetti, or low-carb substitutes! enjoy!

    * you can use cans of crushed tomatoes to save time and mess...just reduce the salt you add in. :)

    edit: this recipe is a great base to work with. awesome add-ins could be: pepperoni, black olives, grilled aubergine, Italian sausage, mozzarella, spinach, pepperoncinis, capers...so many flavor options!

    My easy, quick chicken recipe is to season chicken well with salt and a generous amount of lemon pepper and sautee it in lemon olive oil. It is flavorful, but not overpowering and you can use it in salads and other dishes all week.

    Plain chicken breast is also great topped with some regular or artichoke tapenade.

    Thanks for all the great recipes on this thread!
