    I do chicken breast or tender a jar of salsa and taco seasoning packet for salads or tacos. I've also just put a bunch of chicken in low sodium chicken broth then I shred it, drain it and separate it out into similar serving sizes and use it in multiple things--salads, wraps, veggie stir fry, etc...

    I make mine several different ways, here is last nights variation:

    1 (3 ounce) chicken piece (I used a thigh)
    1 ounce plain Greek yogurt
    Lemon juice to taste
    Various herbs (use your favorites)

    Mix the yogurt, lemon juice and herbs. Coat the chicken with it and bake at 350F for 20-30 minutes.

    Spray non stick oil (no calorie) I use olive oil spray in a pan and place chicken breast in pan seasoned with johnnys, lemon pepper or garlic/garlic salt. Cook 5-7 minutes on each side and add 1/4 cup of water at a time if it gets too dry. Chicken comes out super moist. Good to save and have the next day cold on top of salad or have for dinner with steamed veggies.

    If you use a cut with more natural fat, you'll get more flavor without having to "doctor" it with sauces, etc ...

    I can eat a thigh right off the grill / from the skillet with just a dash of a mccormack's blend like molasses bacon or brown sugar bourbon ... and something like that is a staple for me. If I go with a white meat cut, I end up having to sauce it, and the net cals/fats are higher than the dark meat .... and the dark meat is less expensive to boot.

    Crock pot I'd likely make a chili or chowder ... for your low fat requirement, something like:

    1 lb. Chicken thigh, baked/broiled then shredded
    2 bags Santa Fe blend veggies ( local market has a frozen blend of corn, black beans, green and red peppers ) ( 1.5-2lbs )
    3-4 cups chicken stock ( to desired consistency )
    Season according to personal tastes.

    Set on low for 1+ hrs to meld flavors ( setup before going out to gym, ready when you return ? )
    Split into 4 servings

    If you are cooking it in a skillet, I recommend butterflying the chicken breast (cut it in half width-wise) and sauteeing it with whatever veggies you like. It cooks quickly and evenly that way and I think has a better texture/flavor.

    Rub some spices on it and put it in the oven. You decide what spices you like.

    Put chicken breasts in crock pot, add chicken broth to cover breasts about 1/2 way. Cook 4-8 hours. Take breasts out of broth, fork pull breasts, add salsa and green chilies for tacos or BBQ sauce for BBQ chicken sandwiches. Save some of the chicken and all of the broth, then on another day, add vegetables, broth and chicken to the crock pot and cook a few hours for soup.

    I make this recipe http://www.food.com/recipe/chicken-tikka-masala-25587, but leave out the heavy cream and instead use light coconut milk which shaves the calories drastically. I also leave out the jalepeno because I'm a huge wimp, and it's already incredibly spicy. It may not be quick, but it makes 4 servings and freezes really well.

    This is the best marinade for grilled chicken. I marinate a bunch for 2 days, then grill it and keep it in the fridge to go with anything and everything.

    Greek dressing

    1/2 cup olive oil
    1-1/2 teaspoons garlic powder
    1-1/2 teaspoons dried oregano
    1-1/2 teaspoons dried basil
    1-1/4 teaspoons pepper
    1-1/4 teaspoons salt
    1-1/4 teaspoons onion powder
    1-1/4 teaspoons Dijon mustard
    3/4 cup red wine vinegar*


    *The vinegar, I put 1/4 cup and then adjust to taste. 3/4 is too much for me. Sometimes I mix in some balsamic too.

    We use the George Foreman and put BBQ sauce on the chicken every minute of cooking. It only takes about 30 minutes to cook 5 lbs of chicken this way.
