Texas Pete Buffalo Wing Sauce - Love it ... I just pour a little over it and let it soak in and eat.0

If you are a fan of curry, there are bottled curry simmer sauces in the grocery that are easy and delicious. They range from mild to medium to hot. You would probalby only use a quarter of the jar for one chicken breast but it keeps in the fridge for quite a while and is also good on pork or shrimp.0

I've filled chicken with Gorgonzola cheese, red peppers, and asparagus before and it's amazing. Spinach and mozzarella is very good as well.0

Grill it baby!! Any kind of seasoning.
Salt, pepper, garlic power, onion powder.
Tony's
Marinade in italian dressing and dijion mustard.
Teriyaki
BBQ
Lemon pepper
Season with salt, pepper and garlic powder and make a healthy chicken parm. Top with some spaghetti sauce and mozz cheese.
French's yellow mustard, ranch dressing and some brown sugar (have not tried yet but will soon)0 -
lol, it's gonna be hard to decide which one to eat tonight!
ssp1977, I'm not a huge fan of curry but I love when my roommate cooks whatever chicken thing she does with it.
Thank you guys!!! I'm gonna have to get more chicken just so I can try all of these. Never have to eat the same thing twice0 -
#1- Steam it: Ziplock makes steamer bags for the Microwave- add a tbs or two of water and spices...super moist!!
#2- Italian chicken packets: 1/2 cup diced tomatoes (highly reccomend the Hunt's garlic & onion), and one cup broccoil (raw). Put chicken, broccoli and tomatoes on tinfoil, double fold the 4 ends, bake at 450 for 25 minutes
#3- Grilled, dice it up for a warp or salad topper
#4- Steam- again...and dice up and add to a Black Bean Quinoa Salad: 1/2 diced tomatoes, 1/2 cup black beans, 1/2 broccoli, 1 cup cooked quinoa, fresh chopped parsley. You can eat this hot OR cold...love it cold.
If you are going to stuff it with cheese...try the laughing cow spreadable wedges...Garlic & Herb. Holy crap...so good! I'd skip the bacon, unless it's turkey bacon- one or two pieces can add a lot of calories.0 -
I love marinating ck breasts in italian dressing and then baking, delicious! I also love baking them topped with marinara sauce and a little mozzarella, a healthy ck parm0

I made these for the Superbowl, and I think it's my new favorite "fun food"! I used a little Frank's Red Hot on mine, bf went with BBQ, and they were delicious!0
-
Baking is the way to go! You can put some marinade on there.......or some bbq sauce........or some garlic, onions and Worcestershire Sauce.....or when all else fails....SHAKE & BAKE! yaa that just happened!0

My husband made some marinade with lime juice, cilantro and white wine vinegar. Not sure how much of each (he probably didn't measure, either lol) We did salmon with it and ooohh it was so tasty I wanted to like the plate.
I am going to have him whip up another batch and try it with chicken breast.0 -
Chase it around the backyard ! I know .. odd sense of humor.
If calories didn't count ... Stuffed with cheese, spinach and mushrooms ... with a balsamic glaze drizzled over the top. Or ..... Baked with brown sugar and crumbled pecans ... with a drizzle of Honey !
Back to reality ... I usually eat Grilled Chicken in my salad or with some yummy veggies.
But ... On my splurge night ... Crusted Chicken Romano @ The Cheesecake Factory ! Double Yummy !0 -
Chicken thigh is better for curry, I don't like using the breast meat for that.
For a chicken breast I'd:
Stuff it or roll it: A cheese with a bit of a bite to it works well (so you dont have to use too much) with your favourite herbs and or meat (ham/bacon/proccuito)
or poundit, crumbit and fry it. Schzitzel is great (though not a super great option if you cant spare the carbs & fat).
or Just fry it with little or no oil. Slice the breast in half so the cooking time is reduced (less chance of over cooking and making the meat tough and dry).
One more: Cut the breasts in half as above, fry off and remove from pan. Add a small amount of garlic to the pan and fry off lightly, add about a tablespoon of wholegrain mustard, and 1/2 cup each of white wine and extra light cream (or suitable substitute). simmer gently for a 1-2 minutes then add the chicken back in along with a few sprogs of thyme. Simmer lightly for another few minutes til the sauce thickens and serve.0 -
I usually cook my chicken in bulk so I poach them for bento boxes (with reduced sodium broth and spices) or I marinate them in dressing (low sodium vinaigrette like renees dressing) then toss them on the George foreman. I may stuff them on occasion with laughing cow cheese and spinach. Mmmm.
Chicken!0 -
Cut chicken breast into 1x1/2 sized chunks and soak in a hot sauce. Season panko bread crumbs and toss chicken to bread. Bake at 400 for 20 min flipping half way through. Tastes like hot wings but allot better for you.0
