OK Iam looking for new recipes for boneless chicken breast. I love chicken and I know it is much more healthy than red meat, and since I do not like fish I eat a lot of chicken. So anything you have to share would be great.


Thank you

    There are tons of similar threads in the recipes section, but here's a new one I made tonight.

    Lipton Crock pot chicken

    ingredients:
    3 lbs chicken breast
    2 bell peppers, chopped
    1 onion, chopped
    2 packages of Lipton herb and garlic soup mix (1 box)
    2 cups water

    Fry the onion a little if you wish to get rid of the "onion" taste. Mix all ingredients in crock pot, cook 6-8 hours on low or 4 hours on high. You can serve over rice, or lazy like me, mix in 2 cups of rice about 30 minutes before you serve. Even with the rice, it came out under 200 calories.

    We are on the 17 day diet. One of the recipes calls for Barbecue Chicken. The Barbecue sauce is nothing short of amazing and extremely low-fat.

    2/3 cup reduced sugar ketchup
    2 table spoons Worcestershire
    1 table spoon agave nectar
    2 teaspoons chili powder

    Give it a try...It has an amazing flavor.
  • bump that recipe in the crock pot sounds awesome!! :)

    Key West Chicken


    Ingredients

    * 3 tablespoons soy sauce
    * 1 tablespoon honey
    * 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
    * 1 teaspoon lime juice
    * 1 teaspoon chopped garlic
    * 4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves

    Directions

    1. In a shallow container, blend soy sauce, honey, vegetable oil, lime juice, and garlic. Place chicken breast halves into the mixture, and turn to coat. Cover, and marinate in the refrigerator at least 30 minutes.
    2. Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat.
    3. Lightly oil the grill grate. Discard marinade, and grill chicken 6 to 8 minutes on each side, until juices run clear.

    I do step 1 in the directions, but grill it on my George Foreman grill. I find it's best if you marinate it at least overnight. I also use olive oil instead of vegetable oil.

    Not sure what you could substitue the agave nectar with....sorry. I tasted it straight out of the bottle and it is EXTREMELY sweet. Most grocery stores carry the agave. It is in the baking isle of wallmart and krogers. Runs about 3.00 a bottle and looks almost like a honey bottle. I don't think that the equal would have the same taste but you can try it.

    Chicken is so versatile you can do almost anything with it and it'll turn out great :)

    Curries, casseroles, or just throw it in an oven and roast it with your choice of herbs, spices, lemon juice, garlic, peppers, onions, whatever you like.

    A few of my favourties are:

    Roasted:
    Lemon & Garlic

    Grilled:
    Homemade chicken shish (marinaded in low fat natural yoghurt, curry powder/garam masala & asian spice mix then grilled)

    Slow cook:
    Chicken with onions, peppers, tinned tomatoes & chicken stock.

    Smokey Crockpot Chicken Dinner-
    Smoked paprika gives the chicken a delicious, smoky flavor. This is an easy one-pot meal to prepare for the slow cooker.

    Ingredients:
    4 boneless chicken breast halves
    2 pounds small white potatoes, peeled and cut in 1-inch cubes
    2 medium carrots, cut in chunks
    1 medium onion, cut in thin wedges
    1 teaspoon dried parsley flakes or 1 tablespoon fresh chopped parsley
    1 teaspoon salt
    1/4 teaspoon pepper
    4 tablespoons melted butter, divided
    2 tablespoons Spanish smoked paprika
    1 tablespoon lemon juice
    1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
    1 tablespoon honey
    Dash salt
    Dash cumin

    Preparation:
    Wash chicken and pat dry. Combine potatoes, carrots, and onion wedges in a 4- to 6-quart slow cooker with parsley, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, and 2 tablespoons of the melted butter; toss.
    Combine the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter with the smoked paprika, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, honey, and dash of salt and dash of cumin. Rub chicken breasts with the paprika mixture; arrange on vegetables.
    Cover and cook on Low for 3 1/2 to 4 1/2 hours, until chicken is cooked through and vegetables are tender.
    Serves 4.
  • I just made a great chicken dish. I sauteed the chicken breast in chicken broth and threw in artichokes, asparagus, garlic and roasted red peppers. I topped it with some balsalmic vinegar.

    Quick and amazing chicken - no marinating

    Use chicken breasts, legs, or thighs (use about 2 lbs worth)

    Cover baking pan with tin foil. Place uncooked chicken in pan on top of tin foil.

    In a small bowl, melt a half stick of butter in the microwave for 20-30 seconds. Add a dash of extra virgin olive oil.

    Use brush (like this one for cleaning ease: http://amzn.to/1iNAqeo ) to coat both sides of uncooked chicken sitting in cooking pan.

    Add spices to top side of chicken once both sides have been coated with butter/oil.

    Pepper, Sea Salt, and Montreal chicken are my chicken spice goto's

    Preheat to 395 F

    Cook for 60 minutes - flip once at the 30 min mark. Add spices again to top side after flip. BBQ sauce too if you want.

    Take chicken out of oven. Cover it lightly with tin foil and let it sit for 10 minutes. That will help keep the juices in.

    Prep time 5 minutes
    Cook time 1 hour
    Wait time 10 minutes

    Total - 1 hr 15 minutes

    Bonus: after the baking pan cools down, enjoy picking and eating the skin off the tin foil. It's delicious!
