    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.

    This sounds good. I make a similar recipe that I got off of Spark Recipes where you add a can of black beans and some frozen corn. I also add fresh cilantro and green onion at the end with a little light sour cream or laughing cow cheese. Yum!

    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.

    Oh yum yum! I am trying this!

    I eat this about 4 times a week...

    1 package Perdue Fit & Easy Chicken Breast Tenderloins
    3 tbsp Bertolli Extra Light Tasting Olive Oil
    Dash of Salt
    2 tbsp Mrs. Dash Table Blend Seasoning (use more or less to taste)
    2 tbsp Tone's Rosemary & Garlic Seasoning (use more or less to taste)

    Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
    Pour olive oil into the bottom of a 9x9 glass baking dish.
    Remove chicken from package and place in oil in pan, then flip to cover in oil.
    Sprinkle a dash of salt, then 1 tbsp Mrs. Dash, then 1 tbsp of the R&G seasoning all over the chicken.
    Flip chicken again and repeat seasoning method.
    Place in preheated oven for 40 minutes flipping chicken halfway.

    I eat mine with either instant mashed potatoes, a small can of lima beans, a mini corn on the cob, or a drained can of mandarin oranges on the side.

    Edit: The packages usually come with 7-8 tenders of chicken... I usually only eat about 4 of them. I've added the recipe nutrition content to the database here... search homemade - psw seasoned chicken tenders.

    One of my favorite meals is lining a pan with tinfoil, place 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts on it then coat them with Tabasco (Personally I use a cayenne pepper sauce from Publix) then top with garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper and a tiny amount of salt. I bake it for 45 minutes at 400 degrees with 2 white potatoes. Super easy and very tasty!

    I do a couple but i have no idea of the calories off hand so you would have to work that out yourself

    Chicken Cacciatore (serves 4+)

    3 large skinless chicken breasts ( approx 500g, bite sized pieces)
    4 cloves garlic (finely chopped)
    1 large onion (sliced)
    1 red pepper (cut into thin strips)
    1 yellow pepper (thin strips)
    1 courgette/ zucchini (cut in half then in thin strips)
    tin chopped tomatoes (200g)
    1/4 pint chicken stock
    100g black pitted olives

    brown the chicken, add peppers, onion, garlic & courgettes cook for a few mins til softened, then set aside in over proof dish (with lid)
    Add stock & tomatoes to the pan bring to the boil. remove from heat pour over chicken & pepper mixture, stir & bake for approx 45mins gas mark 6

    add olives and some sprigs of rosemary, put back n the oven for approx ten minutes.

    Serve with rice or crusty bread

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Chicken & Spinach Bake (serves 2)

    2 chicken breast fillets (cut into thin strips)
    Large bag raw spinach
    150g mushrooms (sliced) (i use a mix of chestnut & button)
    3 cloves garlic (finely sliced)
    2 slices of bread (made into bread crumbs -- any type of bread will do i usually use wholemeal)
    25 g butter (cut into thin pieces)
    30g grated cheese

    Put the Spinach into a large oven proof dish, then some (approx 1/2) garlic slices and about half the butter, next put a layer of mushrooms, then the rest of the garlic and butter, lay the chicken breast over the top, cover with foil and bake for around 30 mins
    remove foil, sprinkle with grated cheese & cover completely with breadcrumbs, put back into the oven for a further 15 minutes until the breadcrumb topping is golden and the chicken is cooked through.

    Lovely on its own or served with new potatoes.

    1) Take Italian bread crumb and mix with parmisian cheese. Roll the chicken in it and bake.

    2) Chicken breast in pan add cream of mushroom soup and bake.
