Chicken Breast

A kid friendly recipe my kids love is spaghetti bake! Cook noodles and add in cooked chicken pieces mix in sauce and a little bit of velveta cheese and bake in oven until heated and cheese is melted.

I like to Grill mine and then put it in a wrap (Banderita low carb/low fat wheat wrap is my favorite) with some lettuce, tomato & onion and a nice drizzle of Frank's wing sauce (which is very low in calories).

Top that off with 3 beers and a basket of fries with extra salt! (yes, I'm kidding)

My current favorite way to handle chicken breast is to brown it with a little coconut oil spray in a cast-iron skillet, then deglaze with a little cooking sherry and simmer until the sherry has cooked off. To. Die. For.

Lol!! Love that with the beer and fries:)

I use a princess house cooker and some grapeseed oil to cook it in the microwave...it goes from raw (about a 6 oz breast) to done in about 5 minutes...before cooking I put the grapeseed oil on and then sprinkle the seasoning of my choice! It's great!

You can check recipes on skinnytaste.com, but an easy one is to cut them in small pieces, roll them in egg whites, then in panko crumbs, then bake for 30 minutes.

Same basic idea, but we substituted greek yogurt for the egg white and crushed up pretzels for the panko crumbs. Our 5-year old twins loved two of their favorites being combined.

Low carb version is parmesan cheese and ground up pork rinds with spices.

Uhm, chicken breast. That is my favorite meal. I could live whole my life just on chicken breast, tuna, eggs and cottage cheese.

skinnytaste has tons of chicken recipes, I have yet to find any that are not husband approved.

I like to make stuffed chicken breasts. I cut a slit the length of the breast to make a pocket, I usually put in a mixture of chopped spinach (either fresh or frozen) chopped sun dried tomatoes and some flavorful cheese like goat cheese, parmesan or feta. Brush the top with olive oil, sprinkle on some salt and pepper and bake at 350 until the chicken is cooked. You could use American cheese or mozzarella and skip the veggies for your kids.

A little different, but something I love doing: I take the chicken breast, boil it until done and throw it in a food processor (mixer or shredding by hand also will suffice). Add Walden farms ranch dressing (0 calories), hot sauce (minimal calories), half Oz fat free cream cheese (15 calories) and 1/4 cup fat free mozzarella (45 calories). Bake in my toaster oven for around 10 minutes, just enough to melt the cheese. It is like a chicken wing dip-ish texture. I eat it right with a spoon... delicious and filling for only 200-ish calories.

I stir fry chicken with green/red peppers and onions. some times a little jalepenos.

I use every kind of Ms Dash seasonings and mix it up. Add cayenne here and there.

Barbecue sauce and marinades.

Ground chicken instead of chicken breasts.

Turkey breast / ground turkey. Its about the same but still different.

Add beef here and there. Use lean meats and lean ground beef. Fajitas. Stews. Grilled.Hamburger. Adding beef helped me get through all the chicken i eat.

I bake mine in zesty italian dressing. Kids always ask for seconds. This is a favorite meal for camping. We will put baked potatoes in one crock pot and the chicken in a second crock pot. Throw on a veggie when we get back to camper and voila great meal.
