boneless chicken breast help

I find that if you heat a frying pan to about med-high and add 1/4 cup of water and what ever seasoning you want then cook the chicken in the pan it makes it very moist. Add more water if it evaporates but don't drown it. Also baking in the oven in tomato sauce makes it juicy.

I like to boil chicken and then shred it up to make chicken salad, chicken and rice or even buffalo chicken chili or bbq

I grill it with a can of low sodium soup...My favorite is French onion (sometimes I will add mushrooms too)...but I have used the low fat cream soups as well...sometimes I will add veggies to give it a "pot pie" filling effect.

Pepper, onion, salsa, light sour cream and whole wheat tortillas make great healthy fajitas!! Throw some cumin and chili powder on the chicken or one of those fajita packets for seasoning! yum!

my friend gave me this recipe:

Jar of spaghetti sauce
Low moisture part skim Mozz. cheese
3-4 Chicken breast s(5 oz each)
Angel hair pasta

Put 1/2 the jar of spaghetti sauce on teh bottom of the pan and put the chicken on top of the sauce. Pour rest of sauce over the chicken breasts. Bake in 375 degree F oven for 1/2 hour.
Put 2 Tbsp of the cheese on top and put back in oven for 5 minutes.
Serve over Angel Hair pasta (1 c. cooked = 2 oz. dry). Enjoy.

You only end up eating about a 1/2 c. of the spaghetti sauce, the rest just keeps it from drying out. Cal. count depends on the weight of the chicken and what kind of pasta you use (I use whole wheat, which is higher cals but also better carbs for you).

Oven roast it, cover half with BBQ sauce and melt some chedar cheese over the other half. MMMmmm one of my favourites!

Stir Fry? I also cut it into cubes, saute it in a little olive oil and garlic, add a can of tomatoes or sauce, italian seasoning and serve it with pasta. You can also add onions and peppers if you like. I sometimes add a little cooking wine for extra flavor. You can also use it sliced thinly as a sub for ground beef in tacos. Chicken fajitas are another option. Also, I find if you marinate a boneless breast over night and then grill it on low heat on a piece of foil, it doesn't get as dried out. Try Cooks.com for more ideas.

chicken soup with what ever vegetables you have on hand, then spices to coordinate. I love enchilada soup, with spicier seasonings corn, peppers, onion, zuchini and then just toss the chicken breasts right in there. You can do it in a crock pot so you don't have to worry about it. If you want really juicy chicken, I will toss the frozen breast in a pan with liquid and seasons of some kind, cover it and let it cook til done. I use a meat thermometer to test mine. Once its done, let it rest on a cutting board for about five minutes, then cut on a biased. Serve over pasta, rice, steamed veggies, salad, anything. Letting the chicken rest, before cutting it, will ensure all the juices settle back into the meat.

Bump ! I love chicken ♥ some nice recipes here

Hey! I have some boneless chicken breast in my freezer and would like some fun, easy recipes to make tonight or tomorrow?
I tend to think chicken is dry, so just grilling it or something wont work for me. I wont eat it. I want something that is creative but easy and cheap. I dont want to spend alot of money on other ingredients. Thanks!!

I do this for the chicken I use everyday for my salads.

Pre-Heat the oven to 425 degrees

Put foil on a baking sheet foiled the foil sides up slightly

Add chicken breasts (thawed cooks faster)

Add a little bit of italian dressing (I used Kens Healthy Choice italian with red pepper..lower cal than most)

Add preferred seasonings (I prefer red pepper flakes, dash of pepper, parsley, or rosemary)

Take another pieces of foil and cover top, closing the sides together.

Cook for about an hour (give or take depending on the breasts)

It comes out sooo juicy and tasty

Also a recipe i got through a harvest eating email:

My favoriteeeeeee is curry brown sugar chicken!

Pat chicken dry

Season breast with salt/pepper or Nature's Seasoning on both sides. Sometimes I add a lil garlic powder too.

Season (I cover it heavily!) with curry powder both sides

Cover/press/pack on light brown sugar on both sides

Place in lightly greased baking dish/pan

Bake in oven I usually put it at around 400 degrees for 20 mins or so. Until the internal temp is 165 degrees.

ENJOY!

I make spicy chicken soft tacos. They can be low calorie and healthy just watch the cheese! lol

To make the chicken filling:
(this makes enough for three tacos for two people)

10 oz. of boneless, skinless chicken
1/2 onion
1 tbs butter (I use country crock with calcium)
1/2 c. enchilada sauce (I use red sauce that is hot)
1/8 c. shredded cheese (14 grams)

I poach my chicken and shred it.
Saute onions in 1 tbs. butter
add shredded chicken to the onions. Then I add a dash of cumin, garlic powder, pepper, and chili powder to the chicken.
add the cheese and enchilada saude to the chicken and onions.

This chicken filling should be about 435 calories for the whole skillet or about 218 per person.

Then you count for your tortillas. The ones we use are 210 for 3 tortillas.

These are really good with guacamole and we use one Wholly guacamole 100 calorie packet for three tacos.

That is about 528 calories per person for dinner. We try to keep our dinner around 600 calories so it works for us!
