4. This is my favorite chicken recipe...I've made it numberous times and I've never had a bad review yet! http://www.joycesfinecooking.com/Poultry/bruschetta_stuffed_chicken.htm

6. I hear that chickens like to eat "cornmeal". If you serve cornmeal to your chicken, I'm sure it will be very pleased. Be sure to serve little bits of gravel on the side, as it helps the chicken digest it's cornmeal...

8. This one is SO easy you won't believe it and it's delicious: 1 whole chicken Lawry's seasoned salt Haul out your crockpot. Spray it with Pam. Take four large sheets of tin foil and ball them up individually and place them in the crockpot. Lightly run the chicken under the water to clean and dampen. Sprinkle the seasoned salt outside and a little on the inside. Place the chicken on top of the tin foil balls. Close the lid. Cook on HIGH for FOUR hours. THAT'S IT!! It comes out like deli chicken and all the fat runs off to the bottom. I'm telling you - this stuff is so good and it even browns up. Make sure you cook on high for 4 hours though - don't try doing it on low for longer. It may work - but I've always used the high setting.
9. Ingredients 3 tablespoons wheat germ 2 tablespoons honey 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard 1 tablespoon canned apricot nectar or apricot jam 3/4 teaspoon reduced sodium soy sauce 6 bone-in skinless chicken breast halves (trimmed of fat) Directions 1Preheat oven to 375 degrees. 2In a small bowl, mix together the wheat germ, honey, mustard, apricot nector or jam, and soy sauce until well blended. 3Arrange the chicken pieces, bone side down, on a baking sheet. 4Spread the wheat germ mixture evenly over the chicken breasts. 5Bake until the chicken is opaque throughout and the wheat germ mixture has formed a crust, 35-40 minutes.
10. Grilled Chicken is very healthy and all of the fat is cooked off during the grilling process. You can sprinkle it with lemon pepper seasoning, if you want a healthy light dish. Another way is to marinade it in terriaki sauce, or bbq sauce. But when you marinade it, your adding lots of salt and some more calories. Although, marinades do make it taste yummy! I like to look for recipes on these site: www.foodnetwork.com www.bettycrocker.com
11. My favorite is get some low fat natural yogurt and add 1 teaspoon of Cajun seasoning. Coat the chicken breast in the yogurt for at least one hour, but even better in the fridge over night. Then just pop under the grill. It's very tasty and very low in fat. I also make low fat Chicken Kiev's. You get some low fat cottage cheese and add some crushed garlic and parsley. Slice a pocket in the chicken and stuff the cheese filling inside. Then wrap in bacon which has all the fat removed. Cook in oven for about 45 mins.
