Chicken breasts seem to be a awesome high protein good meal for me. However, what do you add to them ? I am seeking simple recipes with chicken breasts so I don't get burned out from eating them.

    I boil the chicken so I can shred it.
    I sautee diced tomato, onion, bell pepper, and garlic in a little bit of oil.
    I add the shredded chicken to the sauteed veggies - add seasoned salt, pepper, and a little worchestershire sauce.
    Mix until all is well incorporated.

    This prepared chicken I use for tacos, tostadas, and enchiladas. :yum:

    I just roast or crockpot mine with some seasoned salt. Once it's cooked, I can use it for meals all week, or portion it out and freeze. We like ours served with sides, on sandwiches, salads, or tacos, casseroles, etc.

    I've done this recipe a couple of times, it's pretty good. Marinate it the day before and throw on a grill or George Foreman.

    Note that the allrecipes site is assuming you consume all the marinade - you can get more accurate macros if you calculate the actual amount of marinade absorbed.

    I like to toss a couple of chicken breasts in the crockpot along with my favorite jarred spaghetti sauce. I shred the chicken once its cooked and the serve the mixture on top of zucchini noodles. I actually prefer this to traditional pasta.

    Take your favorite crockpot pulled pork recipe and switch out the pork for chicken breasts. Delicious served on fresh rolls and topped with coleslaw or on a baked sweet potato.

    Smash them with a mallot/rolling pin and season with garlic and onion powder and paprika, then pan fry. Pounding them thin will make them cook quicker - less time in the pan will make them tender and juicy.

    I mostly bake mine. Sometimes I just sprinkle Mrs Dash, taco seasoning, or whatever mixture of spices I have on hand. Marinate with different salad dressings, balsamic vinegar, etc. Top with things like cheese, pesto, salsa. Sometimes I coat in mayo/sour cream/greek yogurt and dust with bread crumbs or parmesan cheese. You can also do crushed pretzels, special k cereal, etc. The options are endless. Pinterest is a good resource.

    Last night I made parmesan baked chicken and it turned out amazing.

    Preheat oven to 375. Mix low fat mayonnaise with shredded parmesan, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Brush the mixture on top of the chicken breast (be sure to cover the entire chicken breast to prevent drying) and bake uncovered for 45 minutes (less if the chicken breasts are thinner). Comes out so juicy and tender and takes only a couple minutes to prep.

    This. Put in a couple breasts, a jar or two of your favorite salsa, and cook in your slow cooker for 6-8 hours on low heat. You can shred it up and then eat it however you want. We'll use it for burritos, stuffed peppers or tomatoes, or even mix it with some chicken stock and beans for a spicy chicken soup.

    There's so many things you can do with chicken

    Make chicken spaghetti with broccoli

    Stuff chicken with mushrooms, spinach and pepperjack and swiss cheese

    Make a chicken BLT sandwich

    You can do more with chicken than beef or fish
