Anyone have yummy, healthy chicken breast recipes?!

One of my favorites is smothered chicken. I made this last night and it was delicious. I took chicken breast, and sliced them into long strips, and sauteed them in a little evol and a pat of butter, add sliced onion and sliced mushrooms, and garlic powder, salt and pepper. When it's cooked thru, pile the onions and mushrooms on top of chicken and sprinkle with cheese, and simmer for 5 minutes. So good!

Hello,
One recipe we enjoy is to pound out the breast, put provolone cheese on each breast; then place asparagus or young broccoli on the cheese...

Add spices to taste; we use celery salt, garlic, paprika, black pepper. Roll the chicken breasts up and secure with a toothpick.

Lightly spread EVOO on the rolled up breasts, roll in finely crushed bread crumbs, potato flakes, or corn meal, then warp in foil,

Set oven at 350, place in oven safe dish, bake for 30 minutes total time but unwrap the breasts for the final 10 minutes so they will brown...bake until core temperature reaches at least 170 degrees....

We add a mixed vegetable and greens salad, vinaigrette dressing, with pecans, grapes, apples, and walnuts....along with another side dish of your choice...for this meal we generally have medium baked sweet potatoes...enjoy....

Not a recipe, but my favorite seasoning is Weber's Kickin Chicken. If you're really getting burnt out on chicken though try buying bottom round steak in bulk at Sam's Club, or Costco. Cut all the excess fat off and slow cook it for prep meals.

We like to grill chicken breasts. Cut and dice. Add cooked black beans (we use a Crock-Pot so it's salt free) put in a corn tortilla add salsa, lettuce, sour cream. We eat this once a week.

Also love baked chicken fajitas -

makes about 4 servings
Ingredients:
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into strips
2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
2 tsp chili powder
2 tsp cumin
½ tsp garlic powder
½ tsp dried oregano
¼ tsp salt
One can of rotel in place of tomatoes and chiles
1 medium onion, sliced
1 large bell pepper, seeded and sliced (I use half a green and half a red)
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Slice chicken and veggies into strips.
Place chicken strips in a greased 13×9 baking dish.
In a small bowl combine the oil, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, dried oregano, and salt.
Drizzle the spice mixture over the chicken and stir to coat.
Mix diced tomatoes and green chiles in a bowl. You could also buy a can of diced tomatoes with green chiles already added​.​
Next add the tomatoes, peppers, and onions to the dish and stir to combine.
Bake uncovered for 30-35 minutes or until chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.

It's the first recipe, but I included the link for the others. It's nice because you make up several and refrigerate.

My first comment:
Stop buying chicken breast and use thighs instead. Only slightly higher in fat, but far tastier and more forgiving when hearing the next day.

As for recipes:
Countless options. If I am cooking breast, usually because of a sale it was cheaper, I will brine during the day in salt and a bit of brown sugar. Then bake or bbq. Remains far moister. Otherwise, I'll turn into a curry (Indian or thai) or tacos or on a salad or tossed in salad. Of course fir comfort food, I just cook and serve with Swiss chalet dipping sauce (rightly or wrongly a Canadian institution).

Buffalo Chicken

3/4 cup of Frank's Red Hot
1/4 cup of butter

Combine both in pot and continually stir until butter is melted.

Place chicken in casserole dish, pour sauce over the chick and then back until cooked.

Very tasty

Butterfly a chicken breast and bash it out,griddle in a little oil/butter griddle a rasher or two of smoked bacon. Slice of sourdough lightly griddled spread with avocado top with chicken and bacon.

Chicken piccata is one of my favorite FAVORITE meals. Take some cutlets (pounded thin), dredge in flour, S&P, and pan fry in olive oil and butter. Remove the chicken from the pan, add chicken stock, lemon juice and some capers, and maybe more butter . Bring to a simmer, add the chicken back to the pan and let it soak up the yumminess for a few. Stuff your face.

The time I got thighs, there was so much fat it pretty much turned me off... once I trimmed it away, there was almost nothing left

This is something I made today and it's absolutely delicious.
Servings: 4-5
Chicken Salad
1 lb or 15 oz chicken breast, shredded
1/4 cup diced red or white onion
3/4 cup plain greek yogurt
2.5 oz avocado
1 stalk celery, chopped
2 oz grape tomatoes or any kind
Season to taste (I used Mrs. Dash salt free garlic and herb)

You can add and take out anything you'd like. Other people like to add almonds, cranberries or grapes.

Is that raw

Made the chicken salad today and added cherry tomatoes to my sandwich. Used bread with 45 cal per slice. Makes 6 servings at 1/2 cup each and portioned them out in my containers to have ready.
