Looking for Chicken Breast Ideas

500g chicken breasts cut into small chunks, cook/steam until done in cup of water
meanwhile cook about 255g of your favorite pasta

add to the chicken your favorite seasoning, 500g frozen brocolli florets, 3 pcs of cooked bacon (cut into 1/2" pcs) and the cooked pasta

stir altogether, let sit a couple of minutes

add 2 tbsp of grated parmesan cheese
serve and enjoy!


I usually cook the bacon in the micrwave on papertowel to get rid of some of the grease before hand.

Last night I soaked my chicken breast in milk for 15 min and then crushed cornflakes and put in a bag. I added the chicken and like shake and bake and cooked in the oven at 350 for 40 min. It came out really good. The recipe called for parmesan cheese in the cornflakes but I left that out. I also use different shake and bakes when I don't feel like cooking. I go to cooks.com to find recipes as well. We eat a lot of chicken breasts so I am always trying to find new and different recipes.

I make something similar, as they're a great alternative to the fried chicken nuggets my kids love, and my family actually request these now. The only difference is that my coating is made of crushed crackers and I do leave the parm. cheese in(reduced fat), plus garlic salt. They come out crispy and brown and my kids dip them in BBQ....yum! I don't even buy Shake n Bake anymore. I just use frozen breast tenderloins so I don't have to cut anything up. They work perfect for this type of recipe. Then I make my own oven fries by cutting up a few small potatoes, tossing them in EVOO & italian seasoning and baking them.

I also swear by my crock pot...I make a great lemon pepper chicken that really is only chicken, lemon pepper seasoning and 99% fat free, low sodium chicken broth. Add in some potatoes or steam some rice or noodles on the side and it's an easy, fairly healthy dinner.

But perhaps my favorite chicken dish is lemon pasta with chicken. OMG.....wonderful! I make them with a knock off, low calorie version of Red Lobster's Cheddar baked biscuits and I think I could possibly eat this every day. Not even kidding. I got the Lemon Pasta recipe from food.com. At the time, I was doing WW and had it figured at 5 points per serving, probably about 300 or so calories. The biscuits are from skinny taste (a WW recipe) and were calculated at 2 points, or 97 calories each. Really, you gotta try this meal.

I love chicken in eggrolls!

Ingredients: This isn't exact because you use more or less depending on how much you make.

Chicken breasts
diced or chopped onion
minced garlic
cabbage (red or green)
carrots
bean sprouts
water chesnuts
broccoli (optional)
Bell pepper (whatever kind you like)
egg roll wrappers
various Asian inspired seasonings

I ground up the chicken breast and cook them in ginger, garlic, onions, red pepper flakes, soy sauce, pepper and a bit of regular salt and whatever else you want in them ( I've made buffalo chicken egg roll once- they were awesome) Once the chicken is mostly cooked I had shredded cabbage and carrots, water chest nuts, sometimes broccoli, and some peppers that you like one that is slightly cooked down I had bean sprouts cook for a couple more minutes and turn it off and drain the juice from it. ( You're going to want to season the vegetables as well) You can start rolling the egg rolls immediately or wait for it to cool a little bit. Once you finish wrapping the egg rolls you can fry them or i like to bake them on a wire rack- sprayed with nonstick spray- at 400 F for 12- 15 minutes. You can also spray the egg rolls so they get nice and brown.

I use Shake n' Bake to make homemade chicken nuggets. They are WAY low maintenance.

One of my favs is to stuff the chicken breast with goat cheese, spinach, red peppers and pesto! If you don't like goat cheese try light feta or for a healthier option leave out the cheese and add more veggies like zucchini and mushrooms!

Yum!!! and good way to get fresh veges in too
