Healthy... yet tastey chicken recipes?

I'm trying to lose a few pounds before my wedding. I eat a lot of chicken... and I love it.... but need some new recipes.





Anyone know of some healthy.... but tastey recipes?





I'm not too good at grilling.... oven and crockpot recipes would be best!Healthy... yet tastey chicken recipes?
Here's a great crock pot chicken recipe that's simple. You don't say how many you're cooking for, so this recipe will serve 4.


4 Boneless skinless chicken breasts


one medium onion, sliced thin


one clove garlic, minced


2 cans cream of mushroom soup


salt and pepper





Place the onions and garlic in bottom of crock pot. Put chicken breasts on top. Add salt, pepper, all the mushroom soup. Cook on low for 8-10 hours. (If you cook on high, it will take less time).


You can also slice some mushrooms and throw them in too, if you like.





Serve over rice with a side salad and garlic bread.Healthy... yet tastey chicken recipes?
Watch the fat that you use in the recipe, don't bread it, and watch how much chicken you're eating for a meal. Portion size is the best control.





If you're going to bake, you could always use a low-fat salad dressing as a marinade, pick one that is not a cream-type (ranch, bleu cheese, etc.). Italian, asian, oil-based types are good, as most if not all of the oil is replaced by water. Marinate for at least 4-6 hours, the longer the better, and bake for the recommended time. Basting during the baking will help, too. Just don't use the same marinade that you put the raw chicken in!





Good Luck!
Asian Chicken Salad. Marinate 1 chicken breast in 1 part low sodium soy sauce and 1 part plum sauce. This should be plenty for one chicken breast if you use 1 tbsp. of each. Then wrap the chicken in tin foil and bake for about 25 minutes on 375. Let the chicken rest then slice and lay on a bed of greens with some shredded carrots, mandarin oranges, sliced almonds and sliced scallioins. Top with a low fat Asian salad dressing . It's really good.





Use the same method as before but marinate in no fat zesty italian dressing. Also marinate your favorite fresh veggies in this and bake the same way. This is good on it's own, but it is also good tossed in pasta. Just reserve a little bit of the pasta water and toss all together. Top with a little bit of parm cheese.
I'm not good at ovens or crockpots, sorry. How are you at stir frying? This moo-goo gai pan only takes about 15 minutes to make.


Mix together sauce ingredients first:


1tbsp. each of cornstarch, oyster sauce, dry sherry


1 tsp of honey or sugar


1/4 cup water


Cut chicken into cubes and stir fry on medium high heat in a pan coated with pam or a tbsp. of olive oil. When chicken is cooked, remove from pan and add:


1 can water chestnuts, rinsed


Desired amount of baby corn, sugar snap peas, and sliced carrots (or whatever veggies you like)


Stir-fry these for 3-4 minutes.


Return chicken to the pan and stir in sauce. Cook 2-3 more minutes until sauce thickens. Serve.
