Chicken Breast Recipes

Add a yummy twist to your chicken breast by marinating and cooking it in salsa. It ends up tasting so good. Really adds zing to a salad too.

Marinade it in a little oil, soy sauce, garlic and chilli then serve it with plain steamed veg and a baked sweet potato or, organic black beans! You can do the same with a good fish fillet like salmon or a plain white fish too!

Spicy Chicken & Couscous (serves 4)

MARINADE
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 clove garlic, crushed
1½ teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground paprika
1 – 2 tablespoons sweet chilli sauce (or ¼ - ½ teaspoon dried chilli flakes)

4 (800g) single skinless chicken breast fillets

COUSCOUS
1 cup chicken stock (or 1 cup hot water & chicken cube)
1 cup couscous
40g butter
2 teaspoons finely grated lemon rind
150g baby spinach leaves (or box of frozen spinach)
Salt & freshly ground black pepper

• Combine marinade ingredients in large bowl.
• Split chicken breasts sideways – lay your hand flat on chicken, then slice carefully through chicken to make two thinner pieces.
• Put chicken in bowl and mix the marinade all over the chicken so it is all coated. You can cover & put in fridge overnight if you want.
• When ready to eat, prepare couscous:
• Pour boiling stock over couscous in heatproof bowl. Cover, stand for 5 mins.
• Stir couscous with fork to fluff it up.
• Melt butter in pan, fry couscous till hot and separated, add raw fresh spinach and cook until wilted. If using frozen, cook spinach in microwave 4 mins, drain, stir into couscous, heat thru. Add rind, salt & pepper to taste. Toss gently.
• Cook chicken on heated oiled griddle pan or fry pan until browned on both sides and cooked thru – shouldn’t take long – about 6-8 minutes.
• Serve chicken on Spinach Couscous with lemon.\\If you didn't want to eat the couscous you could just have the chicken - it is really nice, and the spices marinade make it taste so nice - one of my favourites

Yep, I'm a big fan of the crock pot easy-as-it-gets method. I'll toss frozen chicken breasts in the crock pot with just about anything to add flavor to it while it's cooking. Lately I've been on a buffalo sauce kick. Just dump some Frank's Hot Sauce and water in the crock pot on top of the chicken to cook; shred or slice it for all week. I make homemade chicken pizzas, chicken wraps, chicken omelets/scrambles, salads, etc.

I like to bake or grill chicken breast and then top with some halved cherry tomatoes and mushrooms (or whatever veggies you like) "sauteed" in olive oil and a little soy sauce. Then melt a little mozerella cheese on top! DELICIOUS!

Throw frozen chicken breasts in the slow cooker with salsa (NO water needed) in the morning. When you get home shred them with a fork, add some fat free sourcream, and stir. I use this mixture in tortillas, to make chicken enchiladas, over salad, and my husband grabs a fork and eats it cold out of the refrigerator.

I just use an assortment of Spices and change it up all the time... there are many premixed ones that you can get these days! So just put the desired amount on both sides, then a bit of olive oil and you end up with a nice juicey chicken breast that has a nice flavour to it

A little oil in a pan, a cup of orange juice, some ginger, garlic and black pepper. You can add soy sauce. Simmer until done. Serve over rice. Add a salad or steamed veg on the side. You can always mix marmalade with ginger, garlic, black pepper, smother a chicken breast with it and BBQ it. Also great on any fish.
