chicken breast ideas.

Make a coating of ground almonds mixed with some parmesan cheese and your choice of herbs. Dip slices of chicken breast in egg and then your coating and oven bake - crisy and delicious!

Oh man, chicken can get SO boring!! I buy the thinly sliced breasts and pound them out so they're about 1/2 inch thick (so they cook evenly). Marinate them for a couple of hours in orange and grapefruit juice, as much cilantro and garlic as you like, plus 1 tsp kosher salt and ground black pepper to taste. Cook in a lightly oiled grill pan about 5-7 minutes per side (or until done).

Hey guys, any chicken breast recipes?

Have a crock pot?

Just tried this the other day and it came out amazing (plus I have some in the freezer for quick microwave meals):
Crock Pot Chicken Taco Chili

I'm trying this today:
Crock Pot Buffalo Chicken Lettuce Wraps
Hoping it turns out just as good since I will be left with extra for later in the week.

Another one I plan to try:
Crock Pot Sesame Honey Chicken


**If you haven't noticed I love crock pot meals. They are typically easy and make enough so that I have quick meals for the rest of the week.

Chicken breast boiled and sliced in half in the bottom of an oven proof dish,
Reduce a tin of chopped tomatoes till not so runny add garlic and Italian herbs,pour on top of chicken oven cook for 10 mins @ 200
Finely grate mozzarella and another cheese of your choice add more Italian herbs and mix slightly,
Then add to the top of the tomatoes return to the oven till melted (leave for 2-3 mins its very hot)
Then eat with a side of your choice
(Pasta,salad,garlic toast or sweet potato chips)

Hope you like this it's one of my favourite ones xx

I bake batches of boneless/skinless chicken breasts, then portion the breasts into (roughly) 12 ounce batches. I dice a batch of cooked chicken, and cook that with a simmer sauce, or with diced onions and a can of diced tomatoes for a chicken cacciatore-esque skillet dinner. You can also do a salsa verde baked chicken, or marinara baked chicken.

I just buy spice mixes, put them in the slow cooker, cover in said spice mix and leave it. then I'll eat with a salad or as part of a sandwich

I'll cut slices into chicken breast so my marinade can get all through it. Then mix together:
Low sodium soy sauce
Worcestershire Sauce
Cayenne pepper
Minced garlic
Black pepper
1 tsp of dijon mustard(this is the only thing I always measure out, soy and worcestershire is around 1-2tbsp each)

Let it sit overnight then grill it or bake it. Then eat with a salad or some veg and rice

I marinate my chicken breasts for 2 days.. i use MRS. dash and tsp of celery seed and extra virgin olive oil,, and a squeeze of lemon or lime

I made a bunch in the crockpot a couple weeks ago and divied it up for meals throughout the week.
Made some into chicken salad for wraps or sandwiches. My husband asked why i didn't make the fancy chicken salad with apples, grapes, and walnuts and I had just forgotten that recipe so next time that's my plan!
Made quesadillas or tacos with chicken, black beans, corn, guacamole, peppers, onions and cheese.
Sautéed zucchini, peppers, onions, and garlicin olive oil and add the already cooked chicken. Season with Italian seasonings and add to bowtie pasta plus add some crushed red pepper and/or mozzarella to taste.

Ooooo my fajita baked chicken is amazing and my salsa chicken casserole. Both really really easy. Add me all I'll give you the recipes

Buy a bottle of Italian Dressing, pour half or whole bottle (depending on salt/calories etc..) over 4-5 chicken breasts and bake at 350 for 45 - 60 minutes. Juicy and flavorful!

It can get boring, but I dnt really know what else is packed with protein that's good for lunch and dinner. U have any ideas?

@robinadams2015

Turkey burgers! I just made some for dinner the other night ~ 20oz ground turkey, appx 3/4 of a packet of dry ranch mix, 1 cup of mozzarella cheese (1/2 fat free, 1/2 2%), 1/4 cup bread crumbs ~ they are appx 275 cals each, with 27grams of protein.

Greek: add spinach & feta & bread crumbs
Chicken Parm: marinara sauce, bread crumbs, garlic powder, italian seasoning, egg: top with provolone cheese
Thanksgiving: crushed stuffing mix, egg, poultry seasoning: eat with cranberry sauce

To make the perfect thing for salads, sandwiches and wraps... ave pimenton
Chicken breast, I use about a kilo, boiled with no salt. Shred it once cooked
1 yogurt, no flavour
Red bell peppers, I use canned ones, but you can use fresh ones but boiled them a little bit.

Mix the yogurt and the peppers, I use the blender, then mix with the chicken!




It should look creamy-reddish and yumie, good for both cold and hot.
