boring chicken

Put a little of her galic & herb on and cook it at 375 for 1.5 hours covered with tin foil and omgosh. It is simply heavenly. Experiement with other flavors too - most (if not all?) of Mrs Dash spices are 0 sodium too. :bigsmile:

I'm a stay at home mom and lunch time is always hard. Putting tons of effort in at lunch just doesn't appeal to me. I have a couple idea for chicken though. Pick a day and spend the 1/2 hour cooking the chicken for the week. Boil or grill 3-4 chicken breasts and then refrigerate for the week.

Option 1: Chicken ranch rollup up. Dice or cube the chicken, mix with a fat free ranch, add 1-2 slices of turkey bacon, either romaine lettuce mix or whole romaine leaf, and wrap in a low carb whole wheat tortilla. (you can also use a pita pocket)

Option 2: Chicken caesar salad. (Grilled chicken is best) Not a whole lot to this, just add to caesar salad mix, you can add a little parmesan cheese or some fat free croutons.

Option 3: Chicken melt. Slice the chicken into thin strips, use a low carb whole weat bread, toasted. Warm the chicken and use a fat free cheese slice. (slices melt better than shredded), you can also add some turkey bacon to this as well.

Option 4: Chicken parmesan sandwich. Use a low carb roll or whole weat bread, slice the chicken into thin strips again, and add 1/4 cup Healthy choice pasta sauce and a pinch of fat free mozzerlla or parmesan cheese.

I spend about 1/2 hour on Sundays cooking up chicken for the week for my husband and myself. All you have to do is reheat!

Hope this helps!

i always make my own shake and bake ish kinda thing.. i take two pieces of whole wheat bread and break them up into tiny pieces. shake some random spices in there.. ususally pepper, garlic salt, lawreys.. whatever and i blend it or put it in a food processor. then coat it with flour, then a beaten egg, then the coating. bake it in the over, it's soooo juicy and so yummy. and it's actually not bad for you either.

I put some boneless chicken breasts in a stoneware pan and drizzle a little BBQ sauce on them and top them with a ring of pineapple and put them in the oven for about 30 minutes......yum yum

Here is one that will get you out of a slump.

take a chicken breast for each serving you want. place between 2 pieces of wax paper or seran wrap. use a heavy pan,rolling pin, or meat mallet (smooth side) and pound the chicken down to about a 1/4 inch thick.

sautee some onions, and garlic in very light olive oil, once tender mix with a box of frozen spinach(Drain and squeeze out water), Fat free cream cheese, and any spices you would like to add ( I love garlic salt and mrs. dash).

Place about a 1/4 -1/2 cup of this mixture into the middle of the pounded chicken. Roll up securing all the goodies inside.

Crush about 5 cups of stone ground wheat crackers per chicken breast. mix with italian seasonings.

Roll chicken breast in some egg whites then in cracker crumbs.

Bake at 350 for about 30 minutes or until done.

This turned out awesome I dont remember the full calorie count. it was somewhere near 350 per chicken breast.

if you have a foreman grill that makes cooking chicken way easier.

grilled chicken ceasar

grilled chicken breast with diced tomatoes and onions on a bed of spinach with a slice of cheese (if you put the chiken on the spinach while it's hot it wilts the spinach nicely.)

boiled or grilled chicken cut up small with balsamic vinegar, cukes, tomatoes, and basil. wrap in a wrap, put it on toast, crackers, or pita bread

strips of chicken over wheat toast with garlic and onions

chicken soup (just throw it all in a pot in the am and set it to simmer) . i use carrots,onions,broccolli, and a little rice.

garlic powder and onion powder makes everything taste better.

try seasoning your chicken with allspice,cinnamon, safron, salt and pepper. sounds strange but it is so yummy

i love to cook.
