    I brine it then season with pepper, thyme, garlic and lemon juice. Maybe a dab of olive oil. Usually bake it, but it's even better grilled. Simple but I love it. Usually have it w/ brown rice or sweet potato and veggies or salad. It's a very standard meal of mine.

    Sautee'd in a skillet with mushrooms and peppers. A little goat cheese or feta mixed in just as it comes off the heat and then laid over cous cous, quinoa, brown rice, salad, whatever. Om nom nom.

    I usually boil mine a bit first, for moisture. Then bake it with a "simon and garfunkel" mix, i.e., parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme. I also sometimes use salsa and a bit of shredded cheese for a bolder spicy flavor. Serve it with salad greens, green beans, cabbage. Great topic BTW!

    Sautéed chicken with garlic onions Italian seasoning crushed red pepper and diced onions. When it's almost done add a partially drained can of no salt added stewed tomatoes and simmer until the sauce reduces some. I occasionally add mushrooms and/or olives. I serve it over rice noodles (I'm a glutard) and top with a sprinkle of part skim mozzarella.

    My favorite is lemon chicken. I put the chicken in the crockpot, slice lemons up and put on top......8 hrs later yummy goodnes with only 2 ingredients :) it is so flavorful that I mix it with spinach as a salad and need no other added "dressing"

    I marinate in a mixture of oil, garlic, soy sauce, vinegar and salt & pepper. Then I grill it! It helps to slice in half before marinating, they grill quicker and more evenly.

    good one the other day I had was to marinate with lemon, honey, garlic & pepper for an hour or 2. Then cook in skillet and pour excess on top.

    Otherwise, I normally just cook in skillet and add some spices like moroccan seasoning/lemon pepper afterwards. And I with coconut oil so that adds a bit of flavour also.

    Mine is a little plain. We have cast-iron frying pans, so you can actually fry the chicken without adding any oils (except for water). It tastes sooooooooooooo gooood. I might add a dash of seasoning salt.

    I stuff it with a Laughing Cow cheese wedge, along with some onions and then roll in Italian Bread crumbs - bake at 375 for about 30 minutes. Yum!!

    I grill it, tear it because I like the rough edges, and top it with 16 grams of A1. Because 1 serving of A1 is 17 grams and I lick the top of the bottle before I put the cap back on.

    In a crockpot - sprinkle some cracked pepper/dried onion/whatever else suits you - add FROZEN chicken breasts - add some low sodium chicken or vegetable broth (about a cup) - sprinkle more seasonings on top along with some onions (garlic would be good too, but I didn't have any) - cook on low for about 6 hours (check the temp of the chicken to make sure it's at least 165*)

    It was really good and tender - even reheated well.

    did this the other day...

    Put two breasts in some water in a frying pan, cook for like an hour or so on low heat. Drain the water and shred the chicken. give them a bath in bbq sauce and cook again for another hour on low heat. its like a pulled chicken delight.

    I found a recipe for Puerto rican style chicken and tweaked it a bit. I used the crockpot and threw in chunks of boneless skinless chicken breast.... tomato sauce... and drained, diced tomatoes. Added in garlic salt to taste (although in hindsight, there was no reason to really add any spices) .... I used uncle Ben's 90 second rice packs... the Spanish style and one while wheat (the Spanish style rice has TONS of flavor and is a Tad spicy. I mixed it with the whole wheat to tone it down for my 4yr old). Mixed the rice together and then put the chicken mixture on top. Delicious and 280 calories. I know the calories could be reduced still ( probably by making my own rice but i hadnt gone grocery shopping andhad to make do with what I had) but for my first try with it, we liked it. :) think next time ill add okra and corn! :)
