    I bought some dry rubs the other day. Rub them on the chicken, wrap in foil, grill or bake in the foil. The moistest chicken ever!

    Put chicken in crock pot with one cup salsa, one can Fat Free cream of chicken soup, one packet of taco seasoning. Let cook all day, shred and use as filling for tacos, enchiladas, topping for salads.

    I make teriyaki chicken breasts

    low sodium soy sauce
    some water
    cut up onions
    cut up garlic
    black pepper
    packet of truvia
    sometimes i put some cilantro in it.. and some adobo seasoning..
    very yummy and healthy marinade unlike the Teriyaki ones you can buy in the store.

    I marinade mine in fat free italian dressing for about an hour and then cook them on the grill. Sometimes I'll add a slice of monterrey jack cheese on top! :smile:

    i put this in another post but this one is SOOOO good. it has a teriyaki-ish flavor but with brown rice or quinoa?? soo good

    Ginger, Soy and Whiskey Grilled Chicken
    serves 4-6 as part of multicourse meal

    3-lb whole chicken, carved (or if you prefer, your choice of already cut-up chicken parts)
    1 tsp grated fresh ginger
    2 garlic cloves, minced
    3 tbl soy sauce
    3 tbl brown sugar
    1/2 lime, juiced (or 1 1/2 tsp white wine vinegar)
    1 ounce whiskey/bourbon/scotch
    freshly ground black pepper

    Combine all ingredients in a zip-lock freezer back. Squeeze all the air out of bag and let the chicken marinate, preferably overnight, but even 1 hour is fine. If marinating overnight, 15 min prior to grilling, drain the marinade into a small pot and reserve. Let chicken sit on the counter so that it can come to room temperature. Boil the reserved marinade and keep at a steady simmer for 5 minutes to cook and thicken.

    Heat BBQ grill on high. Grill chicken skin side down for 3 minutes until skin is nice and golden brown. Flip chicken, reduce heat to medium, brush with cooked marinade and close cover. Cook for another 5-7 minutes, until cooked through.

    my go to chicken recipe... mix together a combination of panko crumbs (make this your bulk - they have the least calories, fat and sodium), progresso italian bread crumbs, and greated parmesan cheese (this is the only time in my life where I will use the kraft stuff from the green can as it gets crunchy when you bake it). For my 4 chicken breast halves (about 4-5 oz each) I probably use 1 - 1 1/2 cups of panko, 1/2 cup of progresso, 1-2 T of Kraft parm and 1-2T of fresh parmesan regianno. mix it all together and pour into flat dish.

    Mix 2 parts low fat olive oil mayo with 1 part mustard (not yellow mustard - I use grey poupon country dijon). So for 4 chicken breast halves (about 4-5 oz each) I use maybe a 1/4 cup mayo and 1 T of mustard. Mix together and brush on both sides of your chicken breast.

    Roll chicken into the bread crumb mixture and press firmly to make sure you get a good solid coating.

    For 4 4-5 oz skinless boneless chicken breasts - I bake at 350 for 28 minutes and then broil for 2 minutes to make them super crunchy... don't burn the breadcrumbs though.

    To figure out your calories mix together your concotion and measure what you have, then make the chicken, measure what you have left and then you can figure out the percentage of what is used. In general I find it always ends up being less than 250 calories for one breast. Once you get it down I can have it in the oven in 15 mins. I generally serve with blanched broccoli and some little pasta side, or potato side - something with a little moisture.

    This recipe is also awesome for any white fish - I have done it on sole, cod, and my favorite halibut.

    Just printed this out - thank you - does it work well with skinless chicken breasts as well?
