Does anyone have any super easy chicken recipes that I can bake in the oven? I am talking like 5-10 min prep max and I can put them in the oven for 30 min to 1 hr and wallah - dinner is done type or recipes. Any suggestions for sides to go with that are super easy would be appreciated as well. Thanks!

My fav is curry brown sugar chicken!
Pat chicken breast or filet dry
Season with tiny bit of Natures Seasoning or salt
Some garlic powder
Curry (I COVER it lol)
Then pack on both sides with light brown sugar
Place in lightly greased baking dish in 400 degree oven and WALLAH
The brown sugar sometimes will get all liquified and make a yummy sauce
Honey Chicken
Season breast with Nature's Seasoning
Cover in honey
Bake in oven, turning halfway
I usually bake mine in a small frying pan
Roasted red potatoes with dijon mustard
Dice potatoes
Season with thyme, salt, pepper, parsley, garlic, and cayenne if you like it hot
Place in lightly greased DARK pan (I like round cake pans)
Bake at 400 to 425, checking and stirring every 10 to 20 minutes. Depending on the size and how many potatoes you have, could take 30 minutes or so.
Chop scallions and place in pan and pop back into oven for a few minutes
Cover in dijon mustard 0 -

One really great one I found recently in my Eat This Not That Recipe Book:
Serves 4:
1/2 can black beans drained
Juice of 1 lime
1/4 tsp cumin
salt and pepper to taste
1/2 tbsp olive oil
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (6oz each)
1 cup salsa verde
1 cup shredded pepper jack cheese
chopped fresh cilantro
::preheat oven to 450. Combine the black beans and cumin in a saucepan and heat all the way through. Squeeze in the lime juice and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper. Remove from heat, but warm before serving.
::Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the chicken all over with salt and pepper and sear in the hot pan for 4 to 4 minutes on the first side, until a nice crust develops, then flip. Cook for another 3 to 4 minutes, then spoon the salsa over the meat, top with the cheese, and place in the oven. Bake until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is fully melted and bubbling, no more than 5 minutes. Divide the bean among 4 plates, top with the chicken and garnish with cilantro.

A good side is tomato and cucumber salad with light dressing. I like onions and feta with mine too. I cut up some non carb veggies and cook them up with some chicken broth. brown instant rice is low cal and easy. i make mine with chicken broth instead of water and butter. i roasted up some new baby potatoes the other day cut in half spritz with oil and season with salt pepper and whatever you like to use. 30 minutes and they should be ready. i do that with sweet potatoes too.0

My family loves this: Chicken Parmesean Casserole
3 chicken breasts, cut into 1" pieces
1/2 package roasted potatoes (frozen ones)
2 12 oz. packages of frozen mixed brocolli, cauliflower, carrots
Italian Seasoning (to suit your taste- we use alot)
1/4- 1/2 Cup grated parmesan cheese
Oven on 385 degrees. Spray 13 X 9 pan with PAM. Mix all ingredients in pan and bake 20 min- stir- bake another 20 min- stir. Casserole is done when juices in chicken run clear. I added this to my recipes- but kaint remember the cal count.... I'll get it and add it.....0 -
I just remembered one i made black beans with chopped onions and chicken broth last week. I just let it sit and cook while the rest was cooking. i had it as a side but the chicken breast and brown rice were bland so we allused the beans as a topping, spooned it all over the chicken an drice and it was really tasty. i also made a meatless stir fry with that dinner.0

This sounds so good! I've made stuff like this but with a can of some cream soup added, this was before i started watching calories. I will have to try this. thanks.0 -
I am definitely going to try some of these. I have two young kids and am working too, so I don't have a lot of time. I needed a recipe I could make in a flash. Gonna try the Chicken Parmesan Casserole tonight I think as I have all of the ingredients:)0

I have one...but it's not for the oven, but the crock pot. Takes 5 minutes to prep and set it and forget it!
Ingredients:
Chicken Breasts - how many ever you want
Jar of your favorite salsa (I experiment with different flavors)
Jasmine Rice
Put chicken breasts in crock pot...dump jar of salsa over. Cook in crock pot 4-6 hours on high or 6-8 hours on low.
At meal time, prepare Jasmine rice as directed on package. Serve chicken over rice.
This is awesome as leftovers as well. My family loves this dish...and I love that it literally takes me less than 5 minutes to prep.0 -

to either throw the thread into their "my topics" to find it later, or to 'bump' it back to the beginning so more people can see it to post.0

Chicken & Broccoli...
( this is my throw together recipe - no nutritional values)
1 head of broccoli - cut up - or a bag of frozen
1 pkg - boneless skinless chicken breast - (I like mine cut up, but works as a whole
1 can Cream of chicken soup - mixed with 1/2 can milk
3/4 to 1 cup bread crumbs
Parmesan or Mozzerella cheese to top - optional
Put broccoli at the bottom of 9x13 pan - put chicken in next. Mix soup & milk pour over chicken & broccoli - top with bread crumbs & cheese - bake at 350 for 30-45 minutes. (brown & bubbly) Let sit 5-10 minutes before serving.
(if I don't have bread crumbs I will mix 1 cup uncle bens brown rice with soup mix & increase milk to a full can)
another note - if it seems like alot of chicken/broccoli - add an extra can of soup to cover completely.0 -

I make what I've named "Mediterannean Chicken"
You can design this to fit whatever calorie count you want by dialing up and down on the amounts.
In a big bowl combine:
Grape tomatoes cut in half (or chopped bit tomatoes, fresh ones)
Diced white meat chicken
Crumbled feta cheese
Walnuts
Dried basil
Olive oil
Lime or lemon juice (a fair amount, not just a dash)
Mix, mix, mix. Put into a baking dish and bake in oven at 350 degrees for about half an hour. I eat it on its own, but it could be a topper for spaghetti or rice.0 -
