Buffalo wing sauce. Or Franks Red Hot.1

Dry rub a packet of taco seasoning on them and bake. Also bake some sliced up bell peppers seasoned with salt and pepper. Pile some rinsed and drained black beans on a plate, then roasted bell peppers, then some of the chicken cut into small pieces, top with about an ounce of cheddar. Makes for a flavorful salad style plate0

cut them in half (to make them thin) spread 1/2-2/3 of a wedge of laughing cow cheese wedge on each (I use swiss) then sprinkle the top with bread crumbs. And bake. Its so yummy, my husband and kids love them. Im making it tonight actually. its like lazy chicken cordon Bleu. I have also put a slice of ham on the chicken then spread the cheese on that, but I like it better without the ham.1

Thanks all! I use alot of chicken because I find it easier to keep the calories down (I'm trying to lose not maintain). When I start adding tasty things in the cals start rocking up and before I know it I'm over. Thanks for the marinade Ideas!0

Yeah but see, if you're going to use 1/2 cup of oil in marinade, might as well make chicken thighs and just use some seasoning on them, lol.2 -

My current favourite is chicken salsa. I use a jar of Doritos hot salsa poured over a chicken breast on a bed of leeks, peppers, courgette, and lots of juicy open-cup mushrooms. Shove it all in the oven for 40 minutes and top with half-fat creme fraiche. Comes in around 380 calories. I'm a volume-eater for preference, so I serve mine over 300g of whole green beans. Makes a huge bowlful.

I cook a lot of chicken breasts. They are not the most exciting but they please everyone in the house, I can buy huge packs of them and they are in my cooking wheelhouse...
Marinate and grill (so many marinade options out there!)
Season with whatever spices you like and bake them in the oven. Last night they were seasoned with salt, pepper, basil,oregano and baked with lemon and onion
Throw them in the crockpot with a jar of salsa and shred it up for tacos
Crockpot with a bottle of bbq says and serve as sandwiches
Bread them and make chicken fingers, chicken parm ect...
Stir fry0 -
I eat chicken every day.. love it
an easy one: rub chicken with tandoori seasoning, salt & a little oil, skewer it with onions, and grill0 -
Breast is too much protein vs too little fat and quite bland if not well prepared, so I usually go for thighs. However, when I don't, a rich gorgonzola sauce is really making it pop and it's super easy to prepare (or to find in most restaurant menus).0

Salt pepper granulated garlic onion powder herb de provence a little evoo0

-Chicken cobb salad
-Shredded into an egg white omelette with a little cheese on top and steamed broccoli
-Chicken, steamed sweet potato and pancake syrup (sugar free, if you prefer) on top. Sound insane, but it's seriously one of my favorite guilt-free comfort food meals. I spice it up with Gilroy's seasoning or crushed red pepper. It's sweet, spicy, meaty, carby, uhh so good.
-Shred it with some salsa or taco sauce, and eat with shredded cabbage on mini tortillas. Side of roast corn on the cob or black beans.
-Chicken tortilla soup. Throw a can of crushed tomatoes, drained corn, drained black beans, garlic, salt, pepper, salsa and a few cups of chicken stock in a CrockPot over cooked shredded chicken and slow cook on low for a few hours. serve over a handful of crushed tortilla chips and a dollop of sour cream.0 -

Chicken is so versatile - a google search of chicken dishes will give you tons of ideas. I eat chicken all the time and I don't get tired of it because I use it in so many different things - it's not just a plain chicken breast.0

Poach it and pull it. BBQ or otherwise. A different texture.0
