    You go to Google and type in healthy chicken recipes and you will get more recipes than you can make in a month. Many sites even have tutorials with the recipes. Many have reviews, with suggestions for modifications.

    I wouldn't call this "super healthy" but if you're ok with good fats (olive oil) this is a family favorite. I use lemon juice rather than lemon slices to negate chances of it being too bitter. The chicken turns out juicy even if you use skinless (I do skinless/boneless because I'm lazy) breasts. I also throw in extra green beans.

    I usually look at Food Network or Allrecipes.com. Not all of them are healthy, but a lot of them can be adjusted to be made so. I've done that several times, and they've still turned out great.

    Sun-dried tomato and garlic chicken:

    Take 2 or 3 chicken breasts (depending on how large they are), trim them and cut into "tenders" size pieces. Place in 9x13 baking dish. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Take a jar of julienne sun-dried tomatoes packed in olive oil and sprinkle/spread on top (I use half a jar). Chop up as many cloves of garlic that you like - I do about 5 or 6 and sprinkle on top. Sprinkle with italian seasonings i.e. basil, oregano. Bake at 350 for about 30 minutes depending on how thick your chicken breasts are. I cut mine fairly thin so it cooks quickly.

    I serve with rice (soaks up the sauce) and steamed green beans.
    It's really easy and delicious!

    Thanks everyone! :) I had chicken mixed with steamed tomatoes out of a can. Since that's all I had for now. But I'll definitely be mixing up my chicken dinners!
