I have a lot, and chicken is really the only meat I eat and im just running out of ways to make it and change it up thats still low fat. Yesteday I made chicken tenders dipped in egg whites and panco and baked it and they were awesome.
I usually just bake them or grill them with some BBQ sauce, sometimes I eat it in salad, and I put them in tortilla wraps with lettuce. But that pretty much sums it up.
Any ideas.

    I add some McCormick spices that are usually low in salt, spices it up a little bit. When I'm out of ideas I always google healthy chicken recipes. There are a ton out there

    I like to make chicken taco meat.... I use all sorts of seasonings but try to stay away from salt.
    I sprinkle a little cheese on top and eat it just like that! yummmmmm!

    Lately I've really been enjoying cooking mine on the stovetop with a citrus glaze type thing.

    Butterfly the chicken breast, then pound or roll even flatter with a rolling pin. Salt and pepper both sides and drench in flour (don't need to dip in anything first).

    Spray a skillet with Pam and cook the chicken for just a few minutes on each side - since it's thin it cooks very quickly.

    Remove chicken from the pan, place on a plate and cover with tinfoil.

    Back in the pan, add the juice from 2-3 oranges or 2-3 lemons, and about 1/3 cup of chicken broth. I supplement the flavor with either some additional lemon concentrate, or orange extract. Bring to a boil, reduce heat slightly, and let the sauce thicken. If you really want thicker sauce, combine a little corn starch and chicken broth on a separate bowl and add to the skillet once it reaches a boil.

    Once your sauce is thick to your liking, you can either add the chicken back to the pan to coat, or drizzle the sauce on top.

    I love to serve this with asparagus or broccoli and brown rice or quinoa.

    Yum-O!

    I posted this on another thread, so forgive me if you've seen it already. I like to make a fake chicken parm. Lightly oil a baking pan with olive oil, then lay your chicken breasts in the pan. Sprinkle with black pepper if you want (I always do). Bake at around 400 until the chicken is done (time depends on thickness). Open a can of diced tomatoes and pour it over the chicken without draining (you can also dice a fresh tomato if you have some on hand), and sprinkle with parsley, basil, oregano, and garlic, or pre-mixed Italian seasoning. Bake for about 10 minutes to dehydrate the tomatoes just a bit. Then sprinkle just a bit of mozzarella on top of the tomatoes, and bake for an additional 5 minutes or so until the cheese is melted. Serve with herbed pasta, roasted asparagus, roasted broccoli, or whatever you like. Nomtastic!

    For something REALLY easy.....I just sprinkle a liberal amount of Weber Garlic and Herb seasoning on it and then bake or stir fry (with the chicken cut up in chunks). It is really tasty.

    I just had this the other day, but spaghetti with chicken instead of beef. It didn't sound good but it actually wasn't bad at all.

    Oven bake with basil and lemon in a shallow baking dish in about a half inch of chicken stock and white wine, turning over once, adding a lemon slice about 5 mins before done. Then combine wasabi and some of the wine and brush it on. Serve with just about any kind of rice drizzled with balsamic vinegar.

    This is what I am making tonight. I have never tried it before, so I don't actually know how good it is... however, I have heard from several people that it is delicious, and I'm looking forward to making it!

    brine and bake. usually season with pepper, thyme, garlic powder, and lemon juice.

    I do the exact same thing...sometimes with lime juice, sometimes with lemon. Also, use McCormick poultry seasoning sometimes, as well as basil and/or oregano. I try to avoid any oils, including olive oil or vegetable oil. I will either bake or if the weather is nice, grill it.

    I also keep a bottle of Buffalo Wild Wings mango habanero and/or Caribbean Jerk sauce on hand...a little high on the carbs, but I needs me some dippin' sauce or I get bored with chicken!

    My fave is something I got from here a while ago. Coat skinless breast with taco seasoning (I make my own cuz of sodium), spray shallow casserole dish with Pam and bake at 375 for 25 minutes. Remove from oven top with salsa then bake for another five minutes. I use Greek yogurt instead of sour cream as a "dipper" and serve with rice. Super yummy :)

    I grew up eating spaghetti with cubed chicken in it. I love it, but my husband doesn't so I don't make it very much anymore.

    My favorite for chicken are plain old bbq with some rub and then a low cal bbq sauce.

    I just ran a google search today for "leftover rotisserie chicken" and got a bunch of recipes. The one I made tonight was for "Oven-fried chicken chimichangas"

    2/3 cup salsa
    1 tsp gound cumin
    1/2 tsp oregano
    8 oz chicken chopped
    3 oz shredded cheese,
    2 green onions (I just used a little plain onion)
    6 8" tortillas
    2 TBSP margarine or butter (1 tbsp is plenty!)

    Mix chicken, salsa, cumin, oregano, cheese and onions. Put about 1/4 cup in the center of tortilla and wrap burrito style. Place seam down on a baking sheet, brush with melted margarine and bake at 400 for 25 minutes or until golden. Garnish with extra salsa (cheese & green onion, if desired).

    **the only problem was the salsa I chose (leftovers I dont' usually buy) had a TON of sodium in it so check your labels if you're going to make it.

    Stuffed Pepper Casserole - AKA - Mexican-flavored whatever's available

    It goes something like this...and varies according to the contents of the cabinets:

    Diced chicken, seasoned with garlic, pepper & cayenne (I like it spicy)
    3 bell peppers (I like to use one of each color) boiled and diced
    Whole grain brown rice (prepared)
    1 jar organic salsa/1 can diced tomatoes/Diced fresh tomatoes (cuz they're just sittin there going bad, LoL) - don't drain
    1 bag frozen cut corn
    1 can fat-free refried beans (rarely use)
    8oz fat free sour cream (almost always use - helps give the casserole the 'goop' type consistency)
    Fat free cheddar (I use in shameful amounts because I love cheese)

    Once all things that need to be cooked are cooked and cut, mix everything together (minus the cheese...or cheese included as long as you have some leftover) and put in a 9x13 glass Pyrex. Top with more cheese. Bake at 325 for 20-25 minutes.

    YUMMMMMMnation

    Orange Chicken:
    -brown the chicken on both sides, but don't cook it all the way
    -let it sit for about 5 minutes and then chop into cubes
    -add orange juice (freshly squeezed is best, of course) and soy sauce (or some other asian sauce you like) to the pan
    -add cubed chicken back into pan and let it cook all the way

    The sauce will reduce to a slightly carmel consistency and you have extremely healthy orange chicken w/out the frying! Add some healthy rice and some veggies and you're set!

    But my favorite thing... chicken burritos!!
