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.0 -
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.0 -

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.0 -
thanks! what can i substitute agave nectar with? equal?
Barbeque sauce would be awesome!0 -
thank I am going to try some of these this coming up week...keep them coming...lol0

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.0

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.0 -

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.0

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!0
