low calorie chicken dishes

Chicken fajitas. I'm loving the make-in-a-bag version, but other recipes are available.

How low calorie do you want? I should have some suggestions! I made this http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/1521/summerinwinter-chicken last night which is in my diary at 643 including a polish potato pancake, and tonight I'm having the same with 100g of gnocchi for 583.

If you want lower then if you just put some cumin and paprika in some plain flour, coat the chicken and with a tiny bit of oil fry. Have with haricot beans (red onion, balsamic vinegar and some golden caster sugar - sweat first then add the beans and let cook through for 10 minutes) and broccoli.

Rick Gallops low GI chicken with cherry tomatoes and tarragon, i think youll find it in the database. It is delicious and easy whether on a diet or not.

i DO A CHICKEN JAMABALYA TWIST

chicken breasts, 2 peppers, 2 onions, garlic, chilli, passata and jerk chicken seasoning + 200g of whole grain rice does at least 4 large portions and its delicious even nice in the roasting bags throw it all in on 180 for nearly an hour x

I marinate the chicken in balsamic vinegar (or soy sauce) with some pepper and Italian seasoning overnight. bake it for 35min.

serve it with a side of edamame or greek salad.

Couldn't be easier- chicken and salsa in a crock pot
- (whatever chicken you have, thighs, legs, wings, breasts etc)
- its so simple and so delicious, and low cal.

Yumm. I think I will have to try some of these.

I heard these are delicious, and I'm trying these tonight!

I bake chicken breasts on Sundays usually and use them throughout the week. I work 12 hour days starting at 4 am, so I am always really tired when it comes time to make dinner so I like really simple dinners..

-chop up a whole zuchinni, toss in a pan with a little evoo, add chopped up chicken breast and 1/2 cup tomato sauce.
-bagged salad + chicken breast + handful of grape tomatoes
-tortilla or pita with chicken breast, spinach and whatever veggies I have handy
-chicken breast topped with salsa, avocado and a little shredded cheese
-chicken breast, steamed broccoli and a serving of rice or noodles.
-add a chopped up chicken breast and steamed veggies to some pasta

If I start to get sick of chicken I use my crock pot for roasts and stews..but usually precooked chicken is my go to for easy easy dinners.
