k thanksNeed healthy tastey recipe i can make with chicken!?
Chicken breast is tasty and healthy, but there's no such thing as ';fatless';. If there were, it wouldn't likely be very edible. I'd be happy to share a few simple recipes here, but there are soooo many wonderful dishes that can be made with chicken. Check out a few recipe sites to look for recipes too.





One I can suggest is http://allrecipes.com





Here's one that I make that's super simple and healthy:





CHICKEN %26amp; ZUCCHINI WITH SALSA


boneless, skinless chicken breasts


green pepper (cut in strips)


onion (sliced thin)


zucchini (sliced and cut in quarters)


jar of your favorite salsa





Put the chicken in a baking dish, put the peppers, onions and zucchini on top. Pour salsa over all.





Bake at 350 deg. F (175 C) for about an hour. You can cut into the chicken to check it for doneness. Spoon juices over during cooking a few times.





There you have it. If you like, you can buy the shredded reduced fat Mexican cheese mix to sprinkle over it. About 5 minutes before chicken is done, sprinkle on the cheese. Take out when it's melted and starts to brown.





SALADS


I love a salad with either a mixture of lettuces, or romaine with sharp cheese, red onions, cucumbers, celery, chopped walnuts, etc. Season %26amp; broil chicken strips, and add to the salad while hot. There's something wonderful about the combination of the cold salad and hot chicken (great with grill salmon too.) Trader Joe's, if you have one near you, has a wonderful reduced fat, Celtic cheddar that is delicious. It's a reduced fat chees I'd serve to company.





THAI CHICKEN SALAD


Broiled chicken strips over a salad with peanut dressing. I had this in a restaurant once and fell in love with it. I'm not good at measurements... just a sense for right amounts, but this will give you an idea of how to make the dressing. It's got a bite to it, but as nippy or as mild as you like:





canola oil


rice vinegar


about 2 tblsps. natural peanut butter


1-2 cloves fresh, crushed garlic


cayenne pepper (careful... hot but it makes the dressing... if possible, try not to leave it out)


squeeze of lime (or lemon)


water (pb thickens, so add a little at a time as you mix (wisk) ingredients well.)





Toss the salad, and add the chickenNeed healthy tastey recipe i can make with chicken!?

A super easy and healthy way to prepare chicken is to spray the pan with Pam, then cook the chick on medium heat until cooked--add a good amount of lime juice and cajun seasonings to the pan as it's cooking--it gives a very zesty effect-it's delicious.
good
for 2 people;





2 skinless chicken breasts


4 oz mushrooms


small tin sweetcorn


small onion


2 sticks celery


1 green pepper


1 pint savoury white sauce


teaspoon dried mixed herbs


8 oz rice of your choice


tablespoon veg/olive/sunflower oil





Slice the chicken breasts, and lightly cook in the oil in a large frying pan/wok. Chop the onion, green pepper and celery and add to the pan. Add the herbs and sweetcorn, put on a low simmer with a lid on the pan. Meanwhile cook the rice as per instructions on the pack. After 10 minutes, add the savoury white sauce to the chicken/veg/herb mix, stir well and continue to simmer until the rice is cooked. Check the seasoning in the chicken dish, adjust to taste, drain the rice really well, arrange a ring of rice on/over the plate, fill with chicken mix, eat and enjoy.





This is quick, easy, nourishing and tasty, a favourite with my family. You can vary the veggies eg peas instead of sweetcorn, red pepper instead of green, fresh herbs not dried!
