Getting bored, give me ideas. My general go-to's are fajitas, tacos, dry rubbed and grilled or baked.

    Ever tried brining them before grilling or baking? Try it. You may never go back.

    Maybe make a stir fry.

    Maybe go thai style and make "Swimming Rama" - chicken over a bed of spinach, covered in peanut sauce.

    ALLRECIPES.COM - look up Southwest Chicken. Spice it up however you like (I usually go with the canned spicy tomatoes, and add extra garlic, and whatever veggies you like). It is a favourite of mine and my bf is HOOKED!!!

    butterfly them, pound out a little thinner and stuff with your choice of fillings and roll up. brown on both sides and throw in the the oven to finish off.

    I marinate mine in Greek dressing, or teriaki sauce, and cook in the oven. Yum!

    Bake it 20 min on one side and then when you flip it, add salsa, bake for another 20 then add cheese on top and put it back in til the cheese melts. Yum Yum! And if you have leftovers my mom takes that chicken, cuts it up, puts it into a casserole dish with spanish rice, more salsa, and cheese on top and bakes that!

    Slice into thin strips, dry fry them or pan fry with a tsp of olive oil. Then use to top a nice salad - quick and easy!

    My two best friends when it comes to cooking chicken...Cayenne Pepper and Basil. Saute with a touch of olive oil, maybe some garlic and onion, mushrooms, basil and lots of Cayenne. I have fallen in love with spicy that last few months. Balsamic vinegar adds a nice flavor too and provides some moisture without the sugar from most seasoning sauces.

    My kids love "mommy" chicken nuggets, which is just cut up chicken breasts tossed in bread crumbs (no egg, milk or oil to coat first), just enough sticks to change things up a bit without the massive breading coating then baked.

    Its not 'healthy' but Russian Chicken is my favorite way other than on the BBQ. Just google it.



    And the sauce is great on mashed potatoes.

    Dip in dijon mustard then roll in seasoned cornmeal/flour mix. Bake. YUMMY!!!

    P.S. I never have been a huge mustard fan, but this is amazing. Seriously.

    When im getting bored I make a chicken bake. Rice, or noodles, or quinoa, mixed with a low fat cream of __ soup, mix in a casserol dish. Layer of favorite veg ( i like broccoli or peas) and then cut up the chicken into thin strips and bake.

    OR

    Chicken and cheese stuffed peppers

    OR

    Chicken and cottage cheese stuffed giant pasta shells with tomato sauce...

    I make them into strips....a smidge of mustard rubbed on top, then rolled in panko and bake! The mustard helps Panko stick, adds some low cal flavor and makes me feel like I am enjoying bar food chicken strips that are not deep fried! YUMMY!
