    I Like to just drizzle olive oil over the chicken and then sprinkle misses Dash or any other flavoring over it and bake it.. you also can put veggies on the bottom of the dish and lay the chicken across it and cover with foil the flavors from the veggies will go into the chicken making it so yummy.. and then you cook a whole meal all at once..

    I love to make chicken fajitas. Saute thin strips of chicken until almost cooked through. Then add cut up bell pepper and onion. Add some cumin and a little salsa. Serve with a flour tortilla and top with tomatos and lettuce if you want.

    Here's another really good one. I use a crock pot and just add in the spinach and chicken at the very end.

    Lentil and Sweet Potato Stew

    Ingredients:
    2 tsp canola oil
    1 medium onion, finely chopped
    2 garlic cloves, minced
    2 celery stalks, sliced
    2 large carrots, diced
    2 tbsp curry powder
    1 cup lentils, rinsed and picked through
    2 cups fat free, low sodium chicken broth
    1 14.5 ounce can diced tomatoes and juices
    1 8 ounce can no-salt-added tomato sauce
    1 medium sweet potato, cut into 1 inch pieces
    3 cups baby spinach
    2 cooked chicken breasts, cubed

    Preparation:
    Heat oil on medium heat and sauté onions, garlic, celery and carrots for 6-7 minutes. Sprinkle curry powder and stir well. Add broth, canned tomatoes and tomato sauce. Bring to a boil. Add sweet potato chunks, reduce heat, cover and simmer for 25 minutes, until lentils are tender. Stir in baby spinach and cooked chicken. Cover and simmer for 5 minutes.

    I do a ton of chicken recipes too, and I find that it is really easy to change the taste completely. I try to think of a theme I want to go with, whether it be Mexican or Italian, etc.

    I recently tried curry chicken and it was great! Not authentic of course; I kind of made up the recipe. I get a chicken breast, rub it with a little evoo, salt, pepper, garlic. Then I squirt a tiny bit of honey and rub it all over, then sprinkle some curry all over. Yum!!

    I have also taken to stuffing chicken breasts before cooking. My new fave is to put pesto, sun-dried tomatoes, and parmesan cheese inside and then bake it. It is so tasty!

    Homemade chicken nuggets! take boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut them into pieces and coat with egg beaters or egg whites. Then crush some ritz crackers, reduced fat parmesan cheese and cayenne pepper. Put it all in a ziplock and give a toss. Bake on a cookie sheet for 20 minutes @ 400 then turn over and cook for 10 more minutes then broil for a couple more minutes. Dip in wing sauce. YUMMM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    This is one of my favorites and it re-heats pretty well if you make more than just the one serving the recipe makes. I got it off of hungrygirl.com

    Chicken Cordon Bleu

    Ingredients:
    One 5-oz. raw boneless skinless lean chicken breast cutlet
    1 wedge The Laughing Cow Light Original Swiss cheese, room temperature
    1 oz. (about 3 slices) 97 - 98% fat-free ham slices
    salt and black pepper, to taste

    Directions:
    Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

    Put chicken in a large sealable plastic bag, squeeze out as much air as you can, and seal. Using a meat tenderizer or a can, carefully pound chicken through the bag until it is about 1/4-inch thick. Remove chicken from the bag, and season to taste with salt and pepper on both sides.

    Lay the chicken flat and spread the cheese wedge over it. Evenly layer the ham slices on top of the cheese. Starting with one of the longer sides (or any side, if it's square), tightly roll up the chicken breast cutlet, and secure with toothpicks.

    Place chicken roll in a baking dish lined with foil and/or sprayed with nonstick spray, and then cover the baking dish with foil.

    Bake in the oven for 20 minutes. Carefully remove the foil covering the dish. Continue to bake (uncovered) for an additional 15 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through. Enjoy!

    I also have crook neck squash from my garden right now so I have been cooking this with the chicken also and then serving with Rice. It is so yummy and I think it should be pretty healthy.

    cube a chicken breast. take 3 rosemary sprigs...that's right, the plant, and strip all but about 2" of the leaves from the stem. skewer the chicken onto the rosemary. grill for about 1-2 minutes per side. serve with the juice from 3 oranges/1 T honey/1 T grey poupon mustard--simmer that till it reduces by about a third and thickens slightly.

    It is great...the chicken takes on the rosemary flavor. Got this one from the Biggest Loser website--the whole family loves it!

    I grow my own herbs and you can get the same effect by placing springs of fresh rosmary, stems and all, under the skin and baking or rotesserie cooking chicken. And yes, it adds a wondeful flavor! Of course, don't eat the skin to cut the fat, but you won't need to, the chicken will be juicy and moist and very flavorful from the cooking process alone.

    Last night I just thawed some chicken tenderloins, threw some season all (it's some kind of garlic pepper mixture) all over it and threw it in the oven for 20 minutes. It came out so tender and delicious! I dipped it in reduced fat sour cream and ate roasted asparagus (done in the same pan with the same seasoning, on top of olive oil) as my side.

    I found a recipe on FoodNetwork.com (can't find it now - their search is messed up) and have made it twice, both times with different cereals but the general recipe is:

    Take chicken strips (or just cut boneless skinless breast into strips - this last time I used tenderloins as I had a ton!) and flour them, then dip into bowl of eggs and cover both sides. Place chicken in bowl of crushed chex cereal (I used honey bunches of oats th first time and just picked out the oats. The honey gave it a nice sweet taste!) and cover both sides. Place in pan covered in olive oil. Bake for 20 minutes at 350 degrees F.

    How about Salsa Chicken, it is easy to make and not too much fat. I take the chicken breasts and coat them with about a
    half bag of taco seasoning, then I place them in a baking dish, I coat the chicken with a jar of salsa, any salsa will do, depends
    what you like. I bake at 375 degrees for 40 min, and during the last 5 minutes I remove and pour some low fat shredded cheese
    on top. I like to make cornbread with it. Very yummy.....:smile:

    Ooh! I do this, just without the taco seasoning.
