    salt and pepper to taste

    1 cup bread crumbs

    crumb mixture. Place on top of the mushrooms. Drizzle remaining butter over the chicken, and sprinkle
    with parsley.
    4. Bake uncovered for 45 minutes in the preheated oven, until chicken is golden brown and juices run clear.

    better than "copycat" recipe for Applebee's Dijon Chicken and Portobellos

    4 small boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 5 oz. each)
    4 green onions, thinly sliced
    1/4 C. Dijon mustard
    1 T. fresh lemon juice 1 large clove garlic, minced salt and pepper to taste
    2 T. olive oil

    Combine all ingredients except chicken in a gallon size ziplock bag. Shake well to mix. Add chicken breasts, making sure they are thoroughly coated. Squeeze out as much air as possible and refrigerate for at least 3 hours (or overnight).

    1 red bell pepper 1 8 oz. package whole crimini mushrooms, cleaned 1/2 red onion

    Preheat grill. Grill vegetables (using a grill grid if desired) until they are about halfway cooked through. Remove and cool. Dice and place together in a bowl. Remove chicken from marinade and grill until cooked through, about 8 minutes per side. Keep warm.

    To assemble, place each chicken breast on an oven-proof serving plate. Top with about 1/2 C. of mushroom/pepper/onion mixture. Sprinkle with about 2 T. freshly grated asiago cheese. Broil just until cheese is melted and slightly browned. Serve with 1 C. of microwave steamed potatoes (plain) and 2 C. steamed mixed veggies (couple spritzes of I Can't Believe It's Not Butter spray).

    I found this one on a blog. I baked my veggies instead of grilling, loved it!!

    My husband is an awesome cook and loves to grill as well. We eat a LOT of chicken every week. I like it best when he brines it first for a few hours--usually in a mixure of citrus, some cut up apples and bit of apple/cider vinegar cut with warm water. Then he adds seasonings (garlic/oregano, pepper and a touch of oilve oil)--You can add your fav spices---then cover and let brine for 3-4 hrs and then grill as usual. The meat is super moist and tastes amazing. Then after itcools off--I portion it up in freezer bags and we have meals for the week that just take 1- 1 1/2 mins to cook and it tastes like it just came off the grill again.:flowerforyou:

    My old way of cooking it was my favorite. Throw it in crockpot (frozen if needed), add a can of cream of something soup and cook all day. Shred and put on top of mashed potatoes. OMG, I ate this at least 3 times a week. So good.

    My new way is chicken with salsa cooked all day with no mashed potatoes. Still good. I will either eat plain with a bit of sour cream or I put on corn tortillas (not the crunchy kind the ones that aren't fried).

    My other favorite is baking with a piece of bacon or two on top. Then when almost done put a couple of slices of swiss cheese on top and let melt. Very plain but very delicious.

    I eat chicken the same way, everyday, but I love it. It's simple and tastes great.
    I use boneless, skinless chicken breasts and cook them in my George Foreman Grill, with Italian seasoning and cracked black pepper. Once fully cooked, I cut it up (looks like I have more on my plate!) and drizzle olive oil over the pieces, adding more seasoning and pepper.
    It's SO good!

    This sounds DELICIOSO!!!

    I just posted this today: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/Elizabeth_C34/view/365-meals-project-27-cashew-chicken-on-wild-rice-269518

    It's my cashew chicken on rice recipe.

    If you want to make it leaner, cut the chicken in half and take a can of cream of mushroom out and replace it with 1/2 cup skim milk.

    My favorite method:

    Cut boneless skinless chicken breast in bite-sized pieces. Heat a small amount of olive oil in a large skillet, then add some crushed garlic. (Don't let the garlic burn, or it will taste bitter!) Add about 1/4 cup white wine and cook for about a minute. Then add the chicken and about 1/2 cup low sodium chicken broth. Sprinkle some crushed herbs on top, and add a bit of crushed red pepper. You can also add some salt, if you like (however, I'm avoiding it where I can). Cook until almost done - then In the last couple of minutes add some halved cherry tomatoes (the yellow sun gold taste divine).

    This is really versatile. I some times add some yellow squash; you can add just about any veggie you like. I usually serve this over pasta mixed with steamed spinach. (My husband doesn't like spinach, so I cook it separately. However, you could add it to the pan of chicken as well.)

    When you add a lot of veggies, you can get a lot of food for just a few calories. Mixing the spinach in with the pasta helps me use less pasta. We have this about once a week.

    I use just a little bit of olive oil and fresh rosemary. Sometimes, I add garlic. I find the smells very appealing, and since I'm not a chef even in the very least bit -adding aroma/flavor without a recipe does it for me!

    sounds amazing rn!

    This has become a favorite for my husband and I since I discovered it on the internet 4 months ago. The name will throw you but everyone I have fixed it for ends up wanting the recipe.

    Diet Coke Chicken

    Skinless/boneless chicken breasts (I do chicken thighs for my husband)
    1 can of Diet Coke - Splenda version
    1/2 cup low sugar ketchup
    1/2 cup salsa

    Put chicken in pan, add Diet Coke, ketchup & salsa. Stir. Bring to boil and then lower heat and simmer for 25 minutes.

    That is the original version I found, but in my version I also add a chopped up head of cabbage to the pan after the chicken has cooked for 10 minutes.
