    Cook on a grill pan. Top with Cooked spinach seasoned with crushed pepper flakes and garlic and 1 slice of low fat swiss or provolone cheese. Bake til cheese is melted. Serve with Baked red potatoes and vegetable of your choice.

    pound out your chicken really thin, add whatever spices to both sides, then put spinach and whatever cheese(i like mozzerlla or provolone) in the middle, roll up, secure with tooth picks and cook in oilive oil.....you can put it over pasta sauce if you want, or just eat it dry. My dad LOVES this

    Season chicken however you like it, Broil till done, then add a little bit of rotel tomatoes and crumbled goat cheese. Had it two time this week it was so good! The second time I sauteed some spinage with slices of fresh garlic and red onions and put that under the rotel tomatoes. Great!

    I made this yeaterday http://www.skinnytaste.com/2008/11/crock-pot-chicken-taco-chili-4-pts.html it was very tasty. I used dry beans instead of canned and made my own taco seasoning to cut down on the sodium. I have tried alot of recipes from this site and have not been let down by one of them. I would suggest you do the recipe calculator at http://recipes.sparkpeople.com/recipe-calculator.asp to get the correct nutritional information for the ingredients you use.

    Clean, trim and pound cutlets thin - spray a cookie sheet with cooking spray - place cutlets on the cookie sheet -sprinkle lemon juice and some white cooking wine on the cutlets - with a spoon sprinkle some bread crumbs or crumbled bran flakes onto the chicken and spread evenly - sprinkle with lemon/pepper seasoning and then drizzle a little olive oil over cutlets or just spray with the cooking spray if looking to save more calories - flip and do the same to the other side.

    Place in a pre-heated 350 oven for 8-10 mins - flip with a spatula and cook another 6-8 mins.

    This is great with spinach or asparagus cooked with lemon/pepper, lemon juice & white wine too.

    I like things spicy and I found this recipe which I've adapted from someone else who adapted it from Bon Appetit. We eat it with big lettuce leaves as a wrapper and add a little chili paste to it - but then it is super spicy so be careful :)

    Sriracha Chicken with Lettuce Wraps
    Marinate in a bag or bowl for an hour or two if you have time - if not - then 20 minutes at least..
    However much boneless skinless chicken you have - cut into tenders or chunks (mine are the 2bite size)

    4 Tbsp Soy Sauce
    3 Tbsp Sriracha Sauce
    1 Tbsp Sugar

    If you have the below ingredients - add them to the marinade, it not, don't worry. I sometimes use powdered ginger (just a little) and some sesame seeds and dried garlic - if I have fresh I use that.......it's flexible
    1/4 - 1/2 Cup Chopped Green Onions
    1 Tbsp Minced Ginger
    1 Tbsp Minced Garlic

    Drain off the marinade -
    Bake on a cookie sheet or sheet pan in oven that has been pre-heated to 475 – 500 f until cooked all the way through. I turn my about half way through - Assemble by placing chicken in lettuce and enjoy!

    If you can put them on foil, parchment or a sil-plat you'll save yourself a ton of clean up later.

    After its cooked top with some red pesto and sliced parmensan cheese and then grill til the cheese has melted yummmy!! Oh green pesto works too.

    Or

    Also when cooked spread with some low fat soft cream cheese & chives and top with breadcreams and grill til crumbs begin to brown.

    Don't know what's it's called but i got it from my mom in law. They have it w/spanish rice but i eat it w/out.
    Brown chicken
    Blend tomatoes and onion until there are no chunks (you can add whole garlic in here too or sprinkle garlic in whichever)
    Once chicken is browned on both sides add the blended mixture and some corn to pot or pan. Add salt, garlic, pepper to taste. Cover and let cook until chicken is fully done.

    If you need to cook fast, or if you're like me and impossibly lazy, you can cook them in a ziploc microwave steamer bag. You drop in your chicken (I cut up my chicken breasts into smaller servings or buy the "tenderloin" breast cut) and then throw in whatever seasonings you want. It doesn't need additional liquid... and it doesn't need additional fat or oil. I often put in a spoonful or more of minced garlic and some diced onion, and I vary the seasonings - a drizzle of lemon juice, basil, red pepper flakes, etc. But you could get super creative with whatever seasonings or vegetables you want.

    Grilled chicken with Pico de gillo. Yummmmmy. I like to pound my chicken fairly thin. I don't like the texture of chicken so I pound it out. So, grilled chicken with pico, sliced backed sweet potato (they come out crispy like a chip), apple sauce and steamed broccoli and carrots and I came out way under 300 calories for dinner. I still have 900 calories left to use. I just may treat myself to a rootbeer freeze tonight. :)

    GRILL, GIRL!

    Outdoor or Foreman or grill pan ... regardless, it seems like it gets a lot more flavor when it's cooked this way, rather than boiling. I'll usually throw a couple raw breasts in a ziploc before I leave for work in the morning with whatever I'm feeling that day ... cumin, cilantro, rotel, garlic, green salsa, hot sauce, etc for Mexican or ginger, garlic, cilantro, soy sauce for asian ... when I get home, I throw the chicken on the grill and whatever I want with it (often salad with pico and cheese with the Mexican or stir fry veggies with the asian) and I've got a great dinner for two nights!

    I copied this from Trader Joes, I throw 2 chicken breasts in a baggie with a lot of balsamic vinegar and rosemary, and grill until very well done on the outside to give it that nice grilled crunch. YUM!

    I love this chicken!! It's easy, good, and good for you. The time it says to cook the chicken has to be wrong. i always cook it a lot longer.

    www.eatbetteramerica.com/recipes/30-minutes-or-less/lemon-chicken-oregano-cooking-for-2.aspx

    Also the eat better america website has a ton of really good, simple, healthy recipes.

    If you have a crock pot try this one:

    Chicken breast, 1 jar of salsa (your choice), 1 Serrano pepper, a little bit of garlic. Put everything in the crock pot and cook. Shred chicken and it makes amazing chicken tacos. You could probably put it on a salad or something too if you wanted to cut out the tortillas. I normally cook 3 full boneless, skinless chicken breast on high for 3-5hrs.

    Any questions let me know. I pretty much live off of chicken.

    Good Luck!! :-)
