Simple & healthy chicken breast recipes?

I'm looking for recipes without too many ingredients that I can just throw it all in the pot and come back within an hour and eat it. Doesn't need all the veges, I can steam or do a salad - I make chicken breast a couple times a week and need some new ideas.


Thanx in advance!Simple %26amp; healthy chicken breast recipes?
cut a hole in the side, stuff with you favourite cheese,(I like to use jalapeno soy cheese it I'm trying to be healthy, it melts and is not too spicy). mix plain yogurt with garlic paprika and sage, rub on your seasoned breasts, if the hole you cut doesn't close properly you may use a toothpick to close it so as the cheese doesn't melt out completely. Cook and you can eat it on salad if you'd like with whatever dressing you'd like, it it a well balanced meal if you add some cracked wheat to your salad, yum!Simple %26amp; healthy chicken breast recipes?

Chicken Breast Roulades with Herbs and Baby Vegetables:





Roulade is the French term for a slice of meat rolled around a filling. You can serve the leftover poaching broth as a light soup.





2 teaspoons olive oil


4 cups torn spinach


2 garlic cloves, minced


4 (4-ounce) skinned, boned chicken breast halves


1/2 teaspoon pepper


1/4 teaspoon salt


4 (3 x 1-inch) strips bottled roasted red bell pepper


3 cups low-salt chicken broth


1 cup dry white wine


1/4 teaspoon salt


1/4 teaspoon black peppercorns


3 bay leaves


3 basil sprigs


3 thyme sprigs


2 tarragon sprigs


20 trimmed baby carrots


12 trimmed Brussels sprouts


8 small boiling onions


4 small red potatoes, each cut into 4 slices


1/2 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley





Heat oil in a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Add spinach and garlic; saut茅 1 minute or until spinach begins to wilt. Remove from heat; set aside.





Place each piece of chicken between 2 sheets of heavy-duty plastic wrap and flatten to 1/4-inch thickness using a meat mallet or rolling pin. Sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon pepper and 1/4 teaspoon salt over chicken. Spoon spinach mixture evenly down center of each breast half, leaving a 1/2-inch border. Arrange bell pepper strips crosswise over spinach, and roll up each breast half jelly-roll fashion. Tuck in ends of chicken, and secure each roll with wooden picks; set aside.





Combine broth and next 7 ingredients (broth through tarragon) in pan; bring to a simmer, and cook 5 minutes. Add chicken rolls, carrots, Brussels sprouts, onions, and potatoes; simmer 20 minutes or until chicken is done and vegetables are tender. Discard peppercorns, bay leaves, and herb sprigs.





Remove wooden picks from chicken rolls, and thinly slice each roll. Arrange 1 sliced chicken roll, 5 carrots, 3 Brussels sprouts, 2 onions, and 4 potato slices in each of 4 large shallow bowls. Ladle 1/2 cup cooking liquid into each bowl, and sprinkle each with 2 tablespoons parsley.





Yield: 4 servings
I like to use a cooking dish and place chicken breast and a can of cream of chicken soup or a can of cream of mashroom soup. cook for about a hour and will give it a new flavor. i also add some rice to it and change the dish up some
Put the chicken in the oven, 350, with butter, garlic salt, italian seasoning, and a little bit of pepper. When the butter melts, add in a generous amount lemon juice and more butter. The sauce is great for dunking.
Here are some websites that have various chicken breast recipes on them:
