Chook Me!

Need a good healthy chicken recipe..?

I have boneless, skinless chicken breasts and need to make a healthy dinner tonight. All I really have to work with are a few spices. It's got to be something I can either bake or pan fry because my grill isn't working. Any ideas? What temp do I bake at?

1. pasta bake? you could fry the chicken with healthy oil, chuck a few spices and tomato puree and tomato chunks (tinned) get your pasta done and throw it all together and top with grated cheese bake it and serve with brocilli pretty healthy and lovely tasting i must say!
2. You said Healthy right? OK..first of all you should boil the chicken in water and salt for about 5 min. Remove, pat dry with Scott towel and then transfer them into a shallow baking dish that has been lightly buttered or "PAM" Sprayed. If you have any lemon juice then put some on the chicken or any light salad dressing works good too. Add all your spices , cover and bake for 30min. serve with a salad or with white rice or even couscous. Bon appetit!
3. take your chicken breast and season it with your favourite flavors, salt,pepper,basil,summer savory....whatever..bake it in the oven ...when it's 80% done brush it with a bit of bar b-q sauce if you have it ...if not...that's ok too....let it cool...cut it in strips and place it on a nice dressed salad...a piece of bread and your all set!
4. Cut them up in 1/2 Strips and stir fry them with vegetables and add any spices you like as you do this.
5. I make a chicken soup for my family that everyone raves over, and it's actually very simple and inexpensive. boneless, skinless chicken breasts (preferably never frozen) 1 package angel hair fideo noodles salt pepper fresh cilantro canned jalapeno juice fresh limes boil water, salt, and chicken breasts until the meat is white. Shred the chicken and put back into the pot, adding the package of fideo noodles. When the noodles are done, your soup is ready to serve. Have cilantro chopped up in a bowl on the table, along with slices of lime and a dish of jalapeno juice that can be spooned into the bowl. Each of these fresh items will be added to taste by the person who is served. Serve with hot corn tortillas.
6. Super healthy & lowfat! Trim and flatten the chicken. Salt & Pepper. Season to preference with anything. Bring 6 cups of chicken broth, water, whatever seasonings to a rolling boil. Either stuff breast with spinach or cheese or anything else you like, or leave it empty and roll it to a fat log . Roll each log into a sheet of tin foil, and seal off the ends by twisting up like a piece of candy. Drop tin foil covered chicken into stock and simmer on med .heat for approx. 30 minutes. Unroll & slice & serve. You can transfer them to a buttered saute pan and make pan gravy & brown if you like! Steamed is so tender & healthy!
