Chicken Breast Recipes

I always make chicken! Bump

Fajitas
chicken breast
red and green bell peppers
onion
salt for taste or Adobo Goya
you can add extra peppers, jalapenos for extra spice

I cut the chicken breast in strips and cook in olive oil, once its half way cooked i add the veggies. Serve it on a low calorie wrap. YOu can add sour cream, salsa or even some avocado. Yummy! You can measure the cooked chicken before adding to the wrap and also calculate any condiments added to the wrap., overall a satisfying meal.

BUMP!

I have been buying chicken breasts in bulk and slicing them in half to get 4oz portions. I then freeze what I need for a meal and write the name of the recipe I want to use it on the bag. This saves me time later and I don't have to say crap chicken again? lol I have a heart healthy cookbook from betty crocker and I've been trying different chicken recipes. This is a really good one:
Oven Fried Chicken
1 cup bread crumbs (italian sesoned)
1/4 smart balance (melted)
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
6 - 4 oz boneless skinless breasts

- Preheat oven to 425
- spray pan with olive oil cooking spray
- Dip chicken in melted butter then dredge in bread crumbs
- Bake uncovered for 15 minutes, flip and bake another 10 minutes or until no longer pink

I do this with strips also and make a homemade honey mustard sauce for the kids.

16 oz (2 large) skinless boneless chicken breasts, cut into even bit sized pieces
salt and pepper to taste
2 tsp olive oil
6 tbsp whole wheat Italian seasoned breadcrumbs
2 tbsp panko
2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
olive oil spray (I used my Misto)

Preheat oven to 425°. Spray a baking sheet with olive oil spray.

Put the olive oil in one bowl and the breadcrumbs, panko and Parmesan cheese in another.

Season chicken with salt and pepper, then put in the bowl with the olive oil and mix well so the olive oil evenly coats all of the chicken.

Put a few chunks of chicken at a time into the breadcrumb mixture to coat, then on the baking sheet.

Lightly spray the top with olive oil spray then bake 8 - 10 minutes.
Turn over then cook another 4 - 5 minutes or until cooked though.

I have tons of chicken breast recipes

Chicken Soup

Low Sodium College Inn Chicken Broth (or any brand)
Chicken breast boneless skinless cubed
1 cup Minute brown rice
8-10Baby carrots
1 cup chopped Celery
1 medium onion chopped
1 cup of Mixed peppers
2/3 cup of Corn

Put broth into slow cooker. Cut chicken breasts into cubes or chunks and put into slow cooker. Put cooker on medium. After a half hour add rice. Start chopping the onion and baby carrots. When onion and carrots are done add them. Chop celery and add 45 minutes after carrots and onions. Add corn and peppers. After the soup has been cooking 4 hours it should be ready to eat

Stuffed Chicken Breast

1 chicken breast
1 wedge of Laughing Cow cheese
Fresh spinach

Spread cheese on chicken breast. Put a few pieces of spinach on top. Roll up and hold in place with a toothpick. Bake in the oven at 375 for half an hour

Apple Sauce Chicken

2 frozen chicken breasts cut in half
1 1/2 cup no sugar added apple sauce
1 onion chopped
Cinnamon
Black Pepper
Minced Garlic 1 tsp
Red Pepper flakes

place frozen chicken in slowcooker. Add apple sauce, onion and spices. Other garlic use otehr spices to taste (although I recommend keep it real light with the red pepper)


I also sometimes cut chicken breasts into cubes and cook them and then add them in to a tupperware with frozen veggies or a half cup of cooked brown rice for lunch. I zap them in the microwave and while its still hot add a wedge of Laughing Cow cheese and mix it so it melts.
Place two frozen chicken breasts

Cut up into chunks. Add to skillet with olive oil cooking spray. once starting to cook on the outsides, chop up chunks of onion, green pepper, red pepper, yellow pepper, and mushrooms. Add in. Add garlic, sea salt, pepper to taste.

Also cut up into chunks and add to skillet same way as stated before. Add chicken taco seasoning or just a jar of salsa (your choice) with fresh cut up tomatoes, onions, green peppers, corn, and black beans. Add a jalepeno for spice if you'd like.

Both are DELICIOUS!

I marinate my chicken in olive oil, minced garlic, basil, and lemon with a little pepper. I used a recipe that called for a 1/4 cup white wine, I used white grape juice. It was dang good.
