Chicken Breast ideas!?

Dare2Believe · April 2012

These chicken breasts are delicious. Even my picky husband likes them and he doesn't usually like chicken!

Spicy pecan crusted chicken breasts:
4-4oz chicken breasts
1/2 cup chopped pecans
1/4 cup bread crumbs
1 1/2 teaspoon orange zest
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 large egg white only
2 tablespoons water
Pam cooking spray
1 tablespoon olive oil

Place pecans, breadcrumbs, spices, 7 orange zest in food processor. Pulse until pecans are finely ground. In medium bowl whisk egg white with water. Dip chicken breast into egg white shaking off excess, then roll in pecan crumb mixture. Lay onto prepared baking sheet sprayed with Pam cooking spray. Drizzle with olive oil. Bake at 375* for about 25 minutes or until thermometer measures 165* into thickest part of chicken breast.

I put some chicken breasts in the crock pot with a packet of cream cheese (light) and a can of cream of chicken soup, a can of water, some chicken bouillon and italian seasoning. (or a packet of italian dressing seasoning) ... came out delish! Serve over whichever type of noodles you like.

I realize now it's not very healthy. I made it before I really cared about eating healthy. but it was good.

I'm having chicken kebabs tonight, just chop your breasts into cubes then marinade it for a bit in fat free natural yoghurt, garlic, chilli, ginger, coriander - what ever spices you have really.

Then thread it onto skewers alternated with chopped veg such as courgettes, peppers, mushrooms, onion and cherry tomatoes. Grill them until they're ready and serve with pitta bread and salad

In a crock pot, place your chicken breast in the bottom, i usually do 3 breast. add 2 cans of cream of chicken cream of mushroom soup, and canned tomatoes (i use the rotell its gives it a little more kick with the chilies) cook on high for eight hours. The chicken will be so tender is shreds and you can sure over noodles, rice, or potatoes.

When I cook for myself and my boyfriend one of our favorites is to put 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts in a frying pan with 1tbsp olive oil, then liberally coat with Cavendar's Greek seasoning. Then sometimes I also sprinkle on a few drops of wishbone italian dressing. You really don't need other seasoning, but sometimes I add a pinch of garlic powder and black pepper. Also add 1/4 cup water if the pan looks too dry.
I just cook slowly over low to medium heat. They come out juicy and really flavorful! I love to also steam a few cups of broccoli and then maybe serve with brown rice or a serving of sliced cucumbers and tomato covered in the same cavendar's seasoning.
I love it! Hope this helps!

Take Fresh chives, 1 tbsp of sundried tomato pesto cream cheese and a crushed clove of garlic & stuff it inside the breast. Use 1/2 pat butter, brown on medium , covered , until done. Squeeze the juice of one lemon and use this juice to deglaze the pan. YUM!

Yum! great ideas.

I make "fried" chicken.

Chicken breasts
Plain Greek Yogurt
Breadcrumbs

Coat chicken with yogurt and press both sides into breadcrumbs.

Put in PAM sprayed baking dish, spritz top of chicken with PAM and bake at 350 for 50-55 minutes. Very Yummy. the amounts of each depands on how many chicken breasts you are preparing. Good luck!
