    This is my favorite marinade for chicken ...You can grill it outdoors, on the stove, counter top grill or cook it in the oven like I do

    1/3 cup light sodium soya sauce
    1 tablespoon lime juice ( i just use the juice of a entire lime so i don't waste it)
    1 teaspoon of your favorite spice I use a heaping teaspoon of Mrs. Dash Garlic Blend
    Salt and Pepper to taste ( i leave out the salt though )

    Mix the marinade together and pour over chicken breasts and marinade up to 4 hours.


    I cook a bunch up at a time and have for sandwiches, salads and with brown rice or bulger and veggies for dinner


    I got the marinade recipe from Runners World Magazine a few years ago

    Cut up chicken breast and sautee on the stove in EVOO. When you're close to done, add 1/4 cup of water, a package of your favorite fajita seasoning, sliced bell peppers, corn, black beans, fresh tomatoes, cilantro and onions. Spoon into a whole wheat tortilla or lettuce leaf, add fat free sour cream and low fat cheese. It's WONDERFUL.

    Also, start the same way. Cut chicken breast and sautee on the stove in EVOO and soy sauce. When chicken is close to done, add red, yellow, and green peppers, mushrooms, and onions. Mix cold water and cornstarch in a cup and add it slowly to the broth that has formed from sauteeing the chicken in the soysauce and EVOO. The sauce will begin to thicken. Serve over brown rice.

    My favorite way to cook them is to dice the raw breasts, pre-heat a skillet med-high heat. Add Wishbone Red Wine Vinagrette salad dressing ( a good squirt) let it heat up and add the chicken. Keep the heat high and frequently stir the chicken until the water cooks out. After a few minutes, the chicken will start to brown, add just a little more dressing and constantly stir the chicken until it has a nice brown color. It will be the best chicken you have ever eaten. :-) tastes great over spinach in a salad. Enjoy!!

    I cook for myself so this is for one serving. IF anyone knows how or knows where I can get a calorie conversion for this please message me! :)

    Sweet & Spicy chicken & bell pepper stir fry

    1 chicken breast
    1/2 bell pepper sliced or diced
    1/3 onion sliced or diced

    (sauce)
    honey
    soy sauce
    red pepper flakes
    cayenne pepper

    Directions:
    stir fry chicken til cooked, add bell pepper and onion and stir fry for 5 mins (i like my bell peppers to keep the crunch)
    add the sauce and simmer for 10mins (option to add water to steam the vegetables a bit OR to thin out the sauce).

    Serve over rice is also optional

    This is a house favorite

    Chicken stuffed with spinach quinoa mix.

    http://therealbliss.com/2011/07/22/quinoa-and-spinach-stuffed-chicken-breasts/

    The spinach quinoa mix is awesome alone will make just as a side dish too.

    Edit forgot this one:

    Honey mustard Chicken

    my easy go-to chicken recipe is ridiculously simple.

    I always keep alcohol on hand for cooking (trust me, with the exception of the cooking tequila, none of it is drink worthy)

    I cut the massively over sized boneless skinless chicken breasts in halves or quarters (I do not know any one human who can eat a piece of chicken the size they make them now)

    cut up some fresh herb, cilantro, parsley, basil, whatever I have on hand.

    cut up a fresh clove of garlic.

    slap the chicken into some bread crumbs, (lightly, we aren't going for shake-n-bake style here)

    drip some olive oil in a baking dish

    put chicken in the pan, add some white wine, (usually a $6 chardonnay works best) and some rice vinegar, sprinkle the garlic and fresh herb on top, and bake.

    I don't measure. I just add enough wine and rice vinegar for the chicken to have maybe a centimeter of liquid to sit in.

    My other recipe, is to buy artichoke hearts in a jar, (italian seasoned ones usually) marinade some chicken breast chunks in italian dressing for an hour, add the artichokes, marinade for another hour, and then cook them up in a frying pan, and plop it on some rice.

    simple, but delish. little skill required :)

    Try sprinkling a little of "Emeril's Original Essensce" and bake. I love this spice!

    Chicken stir fry with lots of veggies and brown rice. You can also do the stir fry and toss with whole wheat penne and mix in pesto. It's great either way and it tastes great.
