    2 teaspoons garlic powder
    2 teaspoons chili powder
    1 teaspoon salt
    1 teaspoon ground cumin
    1 teaspoon paprika
    1/2 teaspoon ground red pepper
    8 skinless, boneless chicken thighs $

    I would stuff it with laughing cow, bread it with panko, and bake. Steam asparagus or roast asparagus and zucchini. :)

    This sounds yummmmmmy!!!!

    i have this marinating right now. i will be broiling it instead of grilling because we get home from work too late to pull out the grill.

    I am serving it with fresh pineapple on the side, steamed broccoli and rice.

    lemon pepper chicken sauteed in chicken broth (turn liquid into a "gravy" use cornstarch to thicken) finish with fresh basil. steamed broccoli with lemon peel and garlic. saute some onions and add to broccoli once finished steaming.
    I thought I had Pork chops in the freezer and they turned out to be chicken breast. I had planned on Porkchops cooked over saurkraut...doesn't sound great for chicken though. If you have a great tasty and of course healthy suggestion I can make for dinner it would be great, and it is after work...so ready in an hour type of meal:-) I love trying new dishes and can't wait to see what comes back...Have a great day!

    Some ingredients I have on hand.
    Asparagus
    Zucchini
    broccoli
    panko
    cream cheese
    green onions
    there aren't too many spices I don't have ( I love to cook...and eat too...kinda how I got to this point! LOL)
    chicken broth
    cream of chic soup
    cream of mush soup...
    laughing cow in every flavor
    lemons
    limes
    fresh cilantro
    basil & parsley

    but I can stop at the store on the way home for anything I don't have if your idea sounds extra yummy:-)

    You probably wont have time to marinate the chicken but I usually squeeze fresh lemon juice into a ziplock bag and let the chicken marinate all day, but you can also just squeeze lemon onto it and add some poultry seasoning. 350 degrees, 15 minutes per side, give or take a couple minutes depending on thickness :). I usually serve this with green beans, but you can use any kind of veggie, broccolli would be good! It's very quick and easy. Save some lemon to squeeze onto the chicken and veggies afterwards.

    Here are a few I've made recently:

    Artichoke crusted chicken-even this doesn't take too long. You can sub light (or fat-free or whatever you prefer) mayo or greek yogurt here.

    Skinnytaste easy garden tomato sauce-this would be great over pasta and chicken (I used shrimp)
    http://www.skinnytaste.com/2011/08/easy-garden-tomato-sauce.html

    Skinnytaste oven "fried" chicken-very tasty!
    http://www.skinnytaste.com/2009/07/oven-fried-chicken.html

    Absolutely love skinny taste! The recipes are flavorful, low calorie and low fat. Every recipe I have made from there so far has been easy and turned out great! Even my picky hubby enjoyed the recipes I posted above.

    Alice Springs Chicken
    Slightly adapted from Linda's Low Carb Recipes at www.genaw.com

    Ingredients:
    7 oz raw chicken breasts to yield 4.5 oz cooked (3/4 Lean)
    1 piece of bacon, cut into pieces or I used a few sprinkles of turkey bacon bits
    1/4 cup mushrooms (this is after cooked measurement), sliced (1/2 Green)
    1/4 cup sliced green peppers (1/2 Green)
    1 tablespoon light butter (1 Healthy Fat)
    1 ounces or 1/4 cup reduced fat cheddar cheese, shredded (1/4 Lean)
    1/4 tsp garlic salt (1 Condiment)
    1/8 tsp pepper (1/4 Condiment)


    Directions:
    Season the chicken with garlic salt and pepper; grill until just done. Keep the chicken warm. Meanwhile, fry the bacon in a skillet until crisp; drain on paper towels. Sauté the mushrooms and green peppers in butter until tender. Place the chicken on a foil-lined baking sheet. Top chicken with the mushroom and green pepper mixture, crumbled bacon and then with the shredded cheese. Broil until cheese is melted and bubbly.

    1 Serving with 1 Lean, 1 Green, 1.25 Condiments and 1 Healthy Fat

    Do you use a crockpot? You can put the frozen chicken breasts in the crockpot with whatever veggies you have on hand, pour in a jar of salsa, and cook for about six hours. Very simple and very tasty!

    We're doing chopped chicken lettuce cups tonight :) spicy and delicious, with mushrooms and chopped carrots mixed in. I serve grilled zucchini and roasted broccoli on the side.

    Chicken tacos with greek yogurt instead of sour cream (greek yogurt mixed with avacado is yummy).

    Best way to cook asparagus spray/drizzle with olive oil. sprinkle with sea salt, bake in oven for 25-30 min. You can also add parmesean cheese if you want. Great if you have a french fry craving.

    Pan cook the chicken in olive oil. Mash up 1 avocado with a touch of salt substitute, pepper and a squirt of lime. Top chicken breast with avocado and your favorite salsa. Simple and my family loves it.





    That sound just too yummy. I love Avocados too. :)

    Ooohhh this all sounds great! Going to try this soon! I always make rice in my rice cooker with water and season it after but I'm gonna try making it like this with the broth in the cooker. Thanks! YUM!
