Chicken, Chicken, and more Chicken!

So many chicken topics...can't remember which ones I posted on so heck I'll do it again...only because I really love chicken.

Also love grilled chicken breast with a serving of my favorite BBQ sauce and then fill the rest of the plate with veggies and have a salad.

And marinated chicken (your choice) with veggies and a salad

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.

i make an amazing low fat general tsos, inbox me for recipe and i also use Penzeys spices, they have a tandoori that works well! i also boil it in seasonings and grill. i keep the skin to boil but ditch it before it hits the grill, i never add extra fat. if i bake or bread it, i use low fat panko or seasoned crumbs and soak chicken in low fat milk, it has all of the fat u will ever need and its plump and juicy.. lets see.. what else.. kens has a light options dressing that i marinate it in and grill or bake, uhm... im a huuuuge fan of lemon chicken! i use mrs dash yellow lid bottle lol with thyme, oregano and parsley--> delish!!!

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!
