Hey Guys!

I need a little advice!

I got my mom to use MFP and she's really trying but today she's kind of close to her fat intake for the day. I have chicken breasts that I pre-sliced and froze and they have been defrosting. I need a recipe that she'll be able to eat for dinner that isn't too calorie or fat heavy but is filled with flavor?

Any ideas? Nothing to complicated either as I have school tonight so I'd prefer to just pop it in the crock pot or oven. That way when my mom gets home she can have dinner.

    Just spread some pasta sauce on them and sprinkle a bit of cheese and have chicken breast parm. Add a veggie and you've got a meal.

    Brown and then add balsamic vinagrette and let the vinagrette start to carmalize then serve with rice and veggies or just veggies. You can do this with pretty much any salad dressing for teryaki sauce.

    OMG! I just had this yesterday and it was SO GOOD!

    Roll the whole chicken breasts in taco seasoning... really give it a good coat. Scoop two tablespoons of salsa on top of each breast (salsa = only 10 calories for 2 tablespoons!). Put it in the oven and cook thoroughly! YUM!

    For sides I sliced up green and red bell peppers, put them in a ziplock microwave steamer bag with the remaining taco seasoning, and nuked for 3 minutes. Next to nothing calories there! Also, some Uncle Ben's Spanish Ready Rice.

    2 oz chicken breast + 2/3 cup veggies + 1/3 cup rice = less than 300 calories! It is so filling, too!
    Now I'm drooling.... excuse me!

    I made this the other night with boneless skinless chicken breasts instead of pork and I've also tried it with other types of jellies and flavor combinations.. it sounds like a weird combo of ingredients but it was very good, very easy and very quick. Also easy to customize to your particular tastes and preferences.

    pop the frozen chicken in the crock pot and pour a container of salsa on top and cook for several hours. If the chicken if thawed, pierce the pieces a few times to allow the flavor to really seep in. I've had that and it's tasty. That's my suggestion.

    i just made similar. chix breasts, then big can of diced tomatoes, and some tomato sauce. turn on slow cooker (low) and done in a couple hours - and very tender and tastey. y ouc an also toss in some rice to make it more of a meal. and/or green beans.

    happy cooking

    I like to brown them on each side, then add some salsa, dijon mustard, and lemon juice in a bowl, mix it well and then put it on the top of the chicken, put a little bit of water in the bottom of the skillet to make some steam. Cover it with a lid and cook for about 10 minutes or until done.

    I just saw something on the eat clean website and it was for Chicken Cordon Blu. Roll up a piece of low sodium sliced ham which are typically low in fat, a little bit of cheese, and spinach. amazing!
