    Ive been making this rub a lot lately.

    balsamic vinegar
    olive oil
    garlic
    cumin
    smoked paprika
    cayenne pepper (careful with this)

    take a package of chicken and throw everything in a plastic bag for 4+ hours. then put it on the grill or in a pan.

    chop and add to salads wraps whole wheat pasta.

    the heat gets the metabolisim going a little bit extra.

    Look for chicken rubs...come in lots of flavors and you can find those with low sodium too. Or, check the ingredients out and then make your own based off those. Great on the grill after being massaged with a rub. :)

    Also, italian dressing, soy sauce and honey, or honey mustard is yummy.

    Make with roasted veggies or a fruit salsa.

    put in crockpot with low sodium, low fat cream soups and onion, garlic, carrots and celery. serve over wheat noodles or brown rice.

    cook in crockpot with taco seasonings and water...shred and stuff into corn tortillas for tacos.

    make shish-kabobs with cubed chicken (seasoned with cajun seasoning) and veggies and serve with a fruit salad.

    This is also good if you add some of your favorite veggies with the casserole.

    I just did chicken on the grill the other day. I used kraft low fat house italian in olive oil and marinated bonelss skinless chicken breast in it...........but I added a table spoon of mustard to the kraft dressing. (it gave it an extra zing) Then I threw them on the grill, and made sure not to over cook. Othewise they get all dryed out. LOL The whole family ate them. I was shocked.............they were soooooooooooo good. :)

    OOPS then i put low fat mozzarella on top of each breast.........then a tablespoon of salsa. lol

    Any left overs I sliced and threw on salad the next day.

    When it comes to chicken condiments are my friends.

    Pan sear using fruit juice instead of oil. Toss any combination of peaches, mangos, mandarin oranges, and pineapples in a food processor and toss in the pan with the chicken after chicken is about 3/4 done.

    Marinate or Pan Sear with:
    Fresh Lemons, Herbs + White Wine
    Low Fat Italian Dressing
    Dijon Mustard + Soy Sauce
    Low-Fat Cream Soup as a Base
    Mushrooms + White Wine
    Stir-fry with Vegetables
    Curry - Red/Green/Yellow
    Frank's Red Hot Sauce
    BBQ Sauce - Also EXCELLENT w/Fruits from above
    Capt. Sorenson's Hot Sauce - Firehouse Subs - Also Excellent with Pineapple and Peaches
    Salsa - pick anyone of your favorites
    Peanut Butter Satay Sauce - make your own

    Make a wrap using high fiber tortilla, chicken breast, laughing cow cheese, spinach, red onion. You can put black beans in it, too. Or different cheese, salsa, avocado, etc. You can switch it up in lots of different ways.

    don't think i've spotted this on here so here's my effort:

    take a chicken breast and lay on a piece of foil (large enough to wrap the chicken in later) score the chicken to help the flavours get all the way in, sprinkle liberally with lemon juice (doesn't have to be fresh, i use jiff in the uk no idea if you guys have similar) then sprinkle with fresh ground black pepper as little or as much as you fancy, wrap in the foil (helps keep the juices in, making it lovely and moist) and cook in the oven for the recommended time.

    i tend to serve this 1 breast per person with brown rice and green beans, but its universal and goes well in a salad too

    McCormick sells these little recipe packets that come with the right amount of each seasoning and then if you like the recipe you keep the card buy the spices and make it again =) I just had the rosemary chicken baked this week and it was delicious, my husband loved it too

    grated fresh ginger, few squeezes of lime, low sodium soy sauce and either splenda brown sugar or regular brown sugar overnight make a great marinade!

    I shredd chicken for all sorts of stuff. I take a pack of breasts, trim them, place them in slow cooker with 1 cup water, 1 small onion and a couple of cloves of garlic, slow cook on low for 4 hours. Then I take a fork and shredd them. I use the chicken for everything. From making egg white/spinach/chicken omelette to putting it on my salads even making wet burritos tonight with some shredded chicken. It can be mixed with seasoning and put on sandwhiches. Has about a thousand uses and I always have some in the fridge.
