Jillian Michaels / BBQ Chicken and Black Bean Burritos
serves :4
Ingredients:

1 tablespoon olive oil
3/4 pound skinless, boneless chicken breast, cut into bite-size pieces
1/2 cup chopped onion
3 garlic cloves, minced
1/3 cup bottled Carb Solutions barbecue sauce ( I use just a regular BBQ sauce)
1 (15 ounce) can low-sodium black beans, drained
1/2 cup (2 ounces) shredded reduced-fat sharp cheddar cheese
4 (10-inch) La Tortilla Factory low-carb tortillas
1/4 cup low-fat sour cream


Directions

1. Heat oil in a large nontick skillet over medium heat. Add chicken, onion, and garlic; cook 8 minutes or until chicken is done, stirring constantly.
2. Stir in barbecue sauce and beans. Sprinkle with cheese; cook 5 minutes or until thoroughly heated. Warm tortillas according to package directions. Spoon about 1/2 cup chicken mixture down the center of each tortilla; top each with 1 tablespoon sour cream, and roll up.

Why just chicken? There is a lot of other lean meat or protein options out there for dinner? Do you want any other recipes that have Lean beef? Turkey? Pork tenderloin? etc? I can post some other recipes or I can look up some more chicken ones if you want?

Bump!

I like to sauté broccoli and chicken with garlic and onions. Add in some oyster sauce for extra flavour if you've got any, or drizzle a bit of sesame oil and soy sauce. Lightly fry the rice with eggs and thats your meal! It tastes great assuming you like Asian tastes.
You can always make the meal healthy by controlling the portions, using egg whites and red/brown rice. Enjoy

Try chicken breasts (4 frozen) in the crockpot. Add 1 can diced or crushed tomatoes, 1 can chicken broth (or water) and butter beans (or any type of bean you like). I also added a bit of garlic and pepper. Cook on high for 3-4 hours or low all day. About 30 minutes before serving I added a bag of frozen mixed vegetables and let that finish cooking. Very simple and delish!

two words: stir fry.
get some heads of broccoli, red and green bell peppers, onion, mushrooms and rice (white or brown, up to you), garlic and the chicken breast.

cut all that goodness up (you can leave the mushrooms whole) and slice the chicken into chunks or strips. get a little oil (I like to use canola oil) in a pan or a pot, and throw in the chicken and onions. When the chicken cooks a little more, throw in the garlic (I tend to avoid throwing in the garlic first in case it burns. Then throw in the mushrooms, peppers and broccoli. Stir it up and wait for the veggies to get soft and cook. Finally, add some soy sauce (maybe like a tbsp) and an ever so slight amount of sesame oil (maybe like 1/4 tsp.) and stir it all up. Serve on some rice. Enjoy the deliciousness.

Everyday food has a variation with some extra things to add to the sauce. http://everydayfoodblog.marthastewart.com/2013/08/todays-recipe-chicken-and-broccoli-stir-fry.html

They're not essential, but if you have the stuff around and don't mind the extra sodium, go for it-it's quite good . I also advise that you grate your ginger if you decide to try this recipe out- in chunks I found it to be very strong.

Broil Chicken with any Mrs. Dash no salt seasoning, Make rice, cook broccoli or eat it raw.

This is sooo simple - frozen chicken breasts (I usually use 5), throw them in a slow cooker and top with -
1 16 oz jar of salsa
1 can corn (drained)
1 can black beans (drained)

1/2 hr before serving, add one 8 oz package of cream cheese

I let it cook all day when I'm at work - usually 10 hrs before it is served. I serve it over brown rice.

Salt and pepper chicken tenders are my go to dish. I make a pound of it and have it pretty much all week.

After thawing the chicken in salt water, drain, and rinse chicken

sprinkle all of the seasonings on it make sure each piece is coated nicely, set aside

Finely chop your onions and garlic, you can add more or less to taste.

Spray your pan with just a little bit of non-stick spray.

sweat your garlic and onion until translucent, evenly coat the bottom of the pan with the mixture

lay the chicken on top of the garlic and onion mixture, pour apx 4 oz of water in the pan, cover and let steam for apx 10 minutes

flip the chick and let steam apx 5-6 minutes.

after all of the water evaporates all to brown up a little.

At this point I chop it up, and portion it out into 3 oz servings.



cook your rice as normal (sometimes I add 1/2 cup of chicken broth to the 1 1/2 cups of water to one cup rice)


steam your broccoli just a few minutes.


then combine all three in casserole dish add a little broth, layer 4- 6 oz 2% cheese of your choice, bake 20 minutes or until top layer of cheese is browned and bubbling.

Wow, there are a lot of great ideas.

Cut chicken in to thin pieces, roll through a salted and peppered beaten egg, then roll through crushed Kellog's whole wheat natural cornflakes, pan fry in olive oil with a tblsp butter (wait untill realy hot), 2 min. each side. Better than McNuggets! Fry an onion, mix with the rice. Serve broccoli with a drizzle of olive oil and Italian spice mix. Depending on your portion size, this could be anywhere from 100-800 cals.

This is the thread that I needed! I have been hitting the same boring chicken and broccoli rut.

Thanks everyone!
