Hi, y'all! I have boneless, skinless chicken breasts in the fridge for dinner for the family tonight. I'm really tired of the ways I usually make them. Could you share some of your b/s chicken breasts dinner ideas? (We don't have a grill...) Thanks a lot!

    If I'm feeling really lazy, I just give them a solid dusting of garlic salt & black pepper and pop 'em in the oven.

    One of my favorites, if I have a little more time is this one-

    Hope it helps. :)

    Cut breasts into chunks, toss into a hot skillet and brown. Pour in a some teryaki or sweet and sour sauce and serve with brown rice and broccoli.

    Sprinkle with Carribean jerk seasoning and bake/grill them.

    Marinate them in Italian dressing.

    I know we do a lot more with them, I just can't think of it right now.

    Mix Dijon mustard with herbs de Provence (spice mix) and grill or broil.

    Cut in chunks and sauté with chicken sausage and a dash of Worcestershire sauce.

    Cook broccoli, carrots, onions and bell peppers in a skillet until almost tender-- add chicken pieces, sauté until veggies are tender. Add soy sauce and sriracha to taste.

    We usually have them grilled with teriyaki sauce over rice. But I also like to sear in a skillet with just a tad butter or olive oil, then add water & cover to steam them done. I sprinkle with a little grated low-fat cheddar or mexican cheese while they're hot then top with salsa and a dollop of sour cream. Yummy!!

    I usually boil it, til the water is out.
    Boil in water with Basil and some oregano, then add either a bag of mixed peppers and have semi fajitas
    Or Put a bag of mixed veggies in with some cheese and ritz crackers makes a good casserole :)

    I like to bake mine in parchment. Put a square of parchment down, then a tablespoon of whatever sauce you like (Ive done bbq, teriyaki, mustard and other marinades), fold them into packages and bake at 350-400. They take somewhere between 20-30 minutes, and even if you overcook them, they still come out juicy and moist, flavored with whatever sauce you used.

    For my son, I make gluten-free chicken strips. I just crush up gluten-free corn flakes (they have some organic, unsweetened types out there), throw in onion/garlic powder, some sea salt and wala. for me I dip in egg first and bake them.

    Cook them up in a skillet, and add them either to a spinach wrap or bread (I prefer the wrap), with provolone cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, and a little basil pesto. It's amazing.

    Coat chicken tenders in egg white. Dredge them in Panko with seasoning added to it and bake for about 35-40 minutes at 375F.

    Cut a slit into each breast and stuff with spinach, sundried tomato, and goats cheese(or any cheese you like but only a small bit). use toothpicks or cooking "twine" to tie up chicken. Do a quick pan fry to brown chicken then bake off in oven

    Made me think of my inside out chicken kievs.

    Blitz some breadcrumbs with lots of garlic in a blender, mix with a little low fat spread or a cheese triangle & lay on top of the chicken breast & pop in the oven (I normally put it in a dish with foil over the top to stop it drying out). yum.

    I love mine poached - simmer them in some chicken stock for about 20 minutes. Keeps them lovely and tender, and if you do a couple, then the cold chicken leftover is really good in salads. Plus I then use the stock to make risotto or soup.

    dice 1 med shallot (approximately 4 tbsp) and 2 cloves of garlic
    cut uncooked chicken breast into pieces (try to keep them close in size for even cooking)
    add 1 tsp hemp oil (or whatever oil you use) to skillet on med heat
    brown shallots (or whatever type of onion you like) and garlic
    add 2 tsp italian seasoning and stir briefly
    add chicken pieces and stir to coat in oil
    add ginger
    cook until chicken is done through
    approximately 20-25 minutes total depending on your prep time.
