    I usually
    - Cook it up with veggies.
    - Make a veggie and chicken omelette
    - Chicken fried rice
    - Cut it up into chunks and mix it with pasta sauce and whole wheat pasta
    - Soup...

    I like to put balsamic vinaigrette on it and then bake it. Gives it a really nice flavor and keeps it moist.

    There are a ton of recipes online: the Dukan Diet folks, in particular, have a bunch of protein/vegetable very low carb and very low fat recipes for chicken.

    Mix up some eggs. Roll the chicken breast in the eggs, then roll in crushed almonds. Cook in a greased pan at 375 for 45 minutes (or until done). Eat. Yum.

    Basic BBQ Rub

    1/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar (use turbinado sugar if you want even lower calories)
    1/4 cup sweet paprika
    3 tablespoons black pepper
    3 tablespoons coarse salt
    1 tablespoon hickory-smoked salt or more coarse salt
    2 teaspoons garlic powder
    2 teaspoons onion powder
    2 teaspoon celery seeds
    1 teaspoon cayenne pepper

    Works for chicken, but even better on pork.

    Mix all ingredients in a non-reactive bowl with a wooden spoon, breaking up any lumps with your fingers. Transfer to an air-tight jar, store away from heat and light, will keep for several months.

    You can leave the chicken in whole pieces for this or cut it into strips or nuggets.

    Dip in egg white or egg your preference
    Roll in panko and bake

    I think in a crockpot with salsa is good, you can add it to mexican style salads, tacos, burritos, etc.
    Last night I made cashew chicken with chicken breasts, zucchini, mushrooms, and onion but you can use whatever veggies you like. Marinated chicken in sherry and corn starch, wok stirred chicken, then veggies, sauce was made of soy sauce, oyster sauce, rice wine, sesame oil and sugar (teaspoon of each with 3 tablespoons of water) then add a cup of cashews at the end.

    Healthy Boneless Buffalo-Style Wings

    Cut it into chunks, coat a baking pan with cooking spray, add chicken, Franks hot sauce, garlic and onion powder, and red pepper flakes. Cover the pan with aluminum foil and bake until they are done.

    I usually make this with a sweet potato and have a huge meal for not a lot of calories.

    A good chicken curry recipe: http://www.goodtoknow.co.uk/recipes/151480/Chicken-curry

    We also like this one, out of Weight Watchers Make It in Minutes:
    1 teaspoon paprika
    1 teaspoon salt (I left this out)
    ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
    ½ teaspoon ground cumin (I subbed chili powder)
    ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
    4 bone-in chicken breast halves (I used boneless skinless)
    2 tablespoons maple syrup
    1 tablespoon butter
    1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

    1. Preheat oven to 500°F (I did 450° the cutlets I used were a little smaller than the steroid chicken you normally get at Publix). Coat a baking sheet with non-stick spray.
    2. Combine dry ingredients in a small bowl. Rub mixture over chicken, place on baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes (I did 12 minutes, same reason as above)
    3. Combine syrup, butter, mustard in a small saucepan over low heat. Cook, stirring regularly, until butter is melted and mixture is well combined
    4. After chicken has baked 15 minutes, brush glaze onto chicken and bake an additional 5 minutes.

    Per Serving:
    Calories 229
    Total Carbs 10g
    Sugars 8g
    Total Fat 6g
    Protein 31g
    Sodium 213mg

    I'm sure I have more, would need to dig...

    These are all fabulous ideas and thank you for asking this question.

    I love chicken and I cook it several times a week. My favorite way to eat it is to fry it in the frying pan with a little
    bit of Garlic Infused Oil (from Pampered Chef...it's the best I have ever used) Make rice and veggies and
    have a little stir-fry.

    The other night I baked chicken breast with Cajun seasoning and Smokey BBQ Rub and a little garlic powder and these CHX
    Breasts were WONDERFUL.

    Happy Cooking~

    Slow cooker pulled BBQ Chicken
    Put chicken breasts in the slow cooker with a chopped onion and green bell pepper and half a bottle or BBQ sauce. Cook on low 8 hours until it shreds. I serve this to my husband on a bun, but I think it tastes good just on my plate.

    Here's a link to lowfat cooking.com for lite chicken marsala. If you like mushrooms, this recipe is fast, easy and absolutely to die for! Also, lite chicken piccata is really delicious too (lemony) served with brown rice. Yum!

    Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Seed and chop a tomato. Finely chop a cooking onion or a couple of scallions. Chop some cilantro. Mix the veggies in a bowl. Add lime juice, cumin, chile powder, granulated garlic, salt and pepper and mix. Top each breast with some of this mixture. Bake in a baking dish that has been sprayed or coated in a little bit of oil at 375 for 35 to 40 minutes. Serve with brown rice, black or pinto beans, avocado and a bit of Greek yogurt.

    I use the skinnytaste recipe for broccoli & cheese stuffed chicken. Just get one chicken breast. Slice into three....pound em out to make thin cutlets...place mozzarella in center and some cooked small chopped broccoli on top of cheese. Wrap up on all sides using toothpicks then sprinkle little salt on outside and then dio inti egg wash then seasined breadcrumbs and place on a lightly sprayed baking sheet then spray top of chicken with oil spray n bake 25 min until done @ 350°....

    instead of using a greased pan and adding calories from oil, you can just put them in a tray covered with parchement paper and have them cooked in the oven; no mess and much healthier :)

    That sounds really good, will have to give it a try. I love recipes for the slow cooker.

    I like to butterfly my boneless, skinless chicken breasts. Rub a tiny amount of grape-seed oil onto both sides, season with spices (whatever you like) then grill on my stove-top grill over medium high until thermometer reaches 160* in thickest part of the breast. I then serve it with 1 tablespoon BBQ sauce on the side. Simple, & tasty.

    Funny, I just bought a whole bag of frozen chicken at Target. So, this thread is perfect. I'll try some of these ideas.

    I like to cut into chunks and cook it in a skillet with just enough olive oil and either jamican jerk or blackened spice. Then I can use it for spaghetti, on salads, by itself with veggies..........
