    try marinating your chicken breast in 1/4 cup terriaki sauce combined with 2/3 cup of fat free Italian dressing, then grill it. The flavor is great!

    I grill the chicken breast, then mix 2 cups of shredded chicken with 1 avocado, juice from 1 lime, s&p, 3 green onions, and lots of fresh cilantro. Flavor explosion!

    My serving is 1/2 cup of the chicken mixture in 1/2 whole wheat pita, and a plate of lots of fresh veggies, and my whole lunch will still come in at around 250 cal. Lean, and tasty, and filling.

    One of the new things we've been having is buffalo chicken pasta salad. You cook up 1-2 chicken breasts in the crockpot with Frank's or Texas Pete's (depending on preference) for 6-8 hours then shred it up and add it to the pasta of your choice and fat free ranch dressing til it is as saucy as you like.

    I also like to cook it with taco seasoning and salsa in the crockpot then shred it for burritos or have it with red beans and rice.

    You can also cook it with reduced fat cream of ____ (fill in the blank) soup in the oven and serve with rice and a veggetable.

    Or skinnytaste.com has some really yummy chicken nuggets that are awesome. I sometimes buffalo them for a little extra zip. I'm sure skinnytaste.com has other chicken recipes as well. Heck they have whole cookbooks devoted just to chicken. Maybe you can get one from your local library.

    I don't have an exact recipe, but pretzel crusted chicken is awesome!

    Check out the spice section the next time you're at the store. There are usually a bunch of mixed spices/rubs for various meats. They have awesome flavors and work on just about any meat you put them on.

    Also, it's well worth the ~$20 investment to pick up a cookbook like "Grill This, Not That". There are a ton of recipes for stuff to do with different foods, and you can probably adapt non-chicken recipes to chicken if you want.
