chicken breast ideas.

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!

Low Carb Smothered Jalapeno Popper Chicken

1/2 cup Kraft grated Parmesan
For the Topping
1/2 cup Kraft grated Parmesan Cheese

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Place chicken breast in a 13×9 casserole dish and bake until juices run clear. 30-40 minutes, depending on the size of the breast. While chicken is baking, mix jalapenos, cream cheese, low fat mayonnaise and Parmesan cheese. Mix until well combined. Remove chicken from oven and reduce to 350 degrees.

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).

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?

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.

Wow some really great recipes on here - defo will be trying some out!

In the morning i throw a chicken breast into a ziplock bag with some lemon juice, fresh thyme, chopped garlic and some salt & pepper. leave it in the fridge and when i get home from work pop it onto the George Foreman or chop it up and stir fry it.

(There's some chilli peppers in this pic because I put chilli in everything but that's not always to people's tastes!)




I usually have it with some brown rice and steamed broccoli

Super easy and really tasty!

I pour a jar of salsa on mine and cook in crock pot all day - make tacos and quesdillas for dinner, or do same thing with bbq sauce and make shredded bbq sandwiches, made chicken and veggie soup last night. I will butterfly chicken season with italian seasoning inside and out - put a slice of mozzerella cheese and slice of deli ham and bake till done... top chicken breast with pasta sauce and slize of mozzerella cheese for a lighter chicken parm taste... I cook chicken breast on george foreman and chop up in a spinach salad w strawberries, feta and rasberry vinegrette.... That's about where I get stuck .... need some newer ideas myself aside from these...

Love these ideas!

This is my favorite chicken recipe at the moment...
