Looking for Chicken Breast Ideas

bump!

Here is a few low carb recipes for chicken that I've found are awesome.

Marinate chicken breast in Italian Dressing over night. Put them in a pan and sprinkle Parmesan cheese on top and bake. I sometimes will add Jalapenos to mine and it gives it a little kick.

Get a bag of BBQ or Hot & Spicy pork rinds and grind them up with Parmesan Cheese until fine like powder. Cut up your chicken into strips and let them soak in 2 eggs and heavy cream with some seasonings like garlic powder, onion powder, etc. Then start pulling your chicken out of the mixture and "battering" them with the pork rinds and bake at 375 for 30 mins or so. They are WONDERFUL.

"Pizza Chicken"

Get chicken breast and cut a pocket in them. I usually put pepperoni slices, cheese, and jalapenos in the "pocket". Then put a little pizza sauce over them and parmesan cheese and bake them. SO GOOD.

I like to stuff mine with spinach, tomato and reduced fat crumbled cheese (i.e., feta, gorgonzola, blue cheese), roll them up and bake them at 350 for about 30 minutes. Don't forget to season the outside of the chicken lightly...too much seasoning combined with a salty cheese like feta will ruin the taste.

that is a great idea, I am low carb as well and looking for ideas for chicken.. Love all the ideas.. I eat a lot of chicken as well..

My favorite way to do them lately is to make chicken strips out of them. It makes me think of my old fat way of eating things, but with a healthier twist. Pound out a chicken breast with a tenderizer and cut it into strips. Dip it into egg, then dip it into a mix of bread crumbs, crushed rice chex, crushed french fried onions, and chicken seasoning. Place a metal cooling rake inside a baking sheet. Use that as your baking surface and bake them in the oven. I think we usually do around 350 for 20-25 minutes.

OMG that sounds good! I love French's fried onions! lol

I eat a lot of chicken as I don't eat red meat, One of my favourite recipes is to cover the chicken breast in light Philadelphia, the grilled pepper one is best, sliced button mushrooms, chopped baby plum tomatoes, chopped spring onions and a bit of dark french mustard, all wrapped in foil and cooked in the oven, I also cook this on the bbq when we go camping.

This sounds Great!!

Marinate in

Balsamic Vinegar
honey Dijon Mustrrd
Worstershire Sauce
EVOO
Minced Garlic
Salt/Pepper
Onion Powder
Red Pepper Flakes (optional)

Grill, Bake, Broil, whatever.. IT WAS DELISH!

crock pot!!!!! Chicken breast, enchillada sauce and taco seasoning mix on low 8hrs. Shred and put in tacos. I also do chicken breast and bbq sauce in the crockpot on low for 8hs makes great pulled chicken sandwiches

Preheat oven to 350

Cut chicken breasts in half

Put chicken in glass baking dish

Fill said baking dish with whatever goodness you like in seasonings and veggies (I put minced garlic, pepper, sea salt, and either lemon or herb stuff or I go spicy)

Fill with low sodium chicken stock to meet about half of the height of the meat

Bake in oven for 45 minutes

Comes out fork tender and very seasoned.

It is my go too way of prepping it.

Use boneless skinnless chicken tenders instead of chicken breast - easier to control portions.
broil them after seasoning with variety of Mrs Dash Spices to your taste. (we use instead of salt and do not miss it)
Slice and dice one slice of honey ham for each two chicken tenders and mix with a table spoon or so of reduced fat mozzerella cheese and then stir in couple of tablespoons of horseradish sauce
Once the tenders are just about finished spoon the mixture on top of tenders and broil to melt a great cheater way for chicken cordon blue.

Two tenders is a great portion size serve with a half of sweet potato topped with cinnamin and truvia and three broiled asparagus spears

Not sure if this has been posted yet.
First you'll need a crockpot!

1 bag frozen chicken breasts (if you use fresh cut the cooking time a little)
1 bag baby carrots (i use a large bag)
2 cubed baking potatoes (or red) or 1 large sweet potato
Mrs Dash Original Seasoning (or anything you like - the garlic herb is good and so is the spicy one)
1c low sodium/organic chicken broth
1/2 c water

Spray inside of crockpot w/ nonstick spray, olive oil or use a crockpot liner (whatver your preference is)
Layer the bottom with potatoes (i use both kinds, sweet for me and regular for the fam)
Add bag of baby carrots - sprinkle a little mrs dash
Add chicken as the last layer
Pour water/broth mixture over top
Sprinkle a little more Mrs Dash

Cook on low 8-10 hrs.

I either do this overnight or first thing in the AM before work. As far as the seasoning it's all to taste. The chicken comes out REALLY moist, you can cut back on the water a little if you use frozen. You can either eat the chicken like that or you can easily shred it.
I do this every Sunday for the week, but it's good as just a dinner as well. Quick and easy and usually things I already have in the house. You can use whatever kind of potatoes you want. I use both since I LOVE sweet potatoes and the rest of the family prefers the regular ones. You could also add some sweet onion or other veggies if you'd like.

this one is amazing, we used orange
http://busycooks.about.com/od/chickenthighrecipes/r/peachcpchix.htm

dry fry some onion and peppers until soft
add some crushed garlic and curry spices to taste
dry fry chicken breast cut into cubes
add a muller light mango and passionfruit yoghurt
adjust seasoning to taste.

serve with rice
baked potato or
even good in wraps with loads of salad.

Bumping post for later experimentation:

I have a recipe but need to modify it to make it healthy:

1 Chicken Breast
1/2 Mango - Stoned and Sliced
1 Egg (if using breadcrumbs)
Soft spreading cheese
Streaky Bacon
Puff Pasty, Shortcrust or Bread Crumbs (which ever you prefer)

Slice a pocket into the breast (watch the fingers)
Stuff the breast with the mango and soft cheese, wrap in the bacon.

If using bread crumbs: Wisp the egg, coat the chicken and bacon in the egg mix and then dip in the breadcrumbs
if using pastry, roll out a thin amount enough to cover the breast completely and wrap it up :-D
Bake in the oven for around 35-45 mins

Its really really nice but as you can see the calorie are going to be high, hence I need to adapt it......
In fact I think this will be tomorrow nights dinner :-D

Server with whatever veg or carbs you want to include, I like sweet potato and sweet corn
