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.0 -
I have found 3 awesome recipes recently that my family absolutely loves! Two of the recipes came from the hungry girl website. Jalapeno Popper Chicken and Exploding Chicken Taquitos are both awesome! We also love Balsamic Glaze Chicken from 3fatchicks.com website.0

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.0 -

My family loves Salsa Chicken I make in the crockpot. So easy and yummy.
1 cup salsa
1 can cream of chicken soup (I use the 98% fat free I think it is by Campbell's)
1 pig taco seasoning
Mix it all together and pour over 4-5 chicken breasts. Cook on high about two hours then down on low for 3. I shred it and serve it over egg noodles or rice, also serve it with tortillas like tacos.
Its nice cause you can use mild, medium or hot salsa depending on what you like!!0 -

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.0 -

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 too0 -
Usually mix up a concoction and bake them... last cooked:
Mixed: Cream of mushroom (low fat) condensed soup, 1/2 can skim added, 4 tablespoons lemon juice, 4 cloves minced garlic.... salt and pepper to taste, pour over chicken - bake for 30 mins 350 - easy. Served with broccoli usually or asparagus but you can serve w pasta, rice, or whatever veggies.
Sometimes I'll slice the breasts up and cook buffalo style to make wraps w veggies.
Sometimes slice up chicken and make a stir fry with noodles and Chinese veggies.
Yeah, I love cooking with cream of mushroom soup as well. My faovirte is hamburger meat with it, and on top of rice....some green beans... (of course I"d eat it with white rice), but now that I'm on my diet probably not so much.0
