What are some good chicken recipes that I can eat while im on my diet?

Question

is it good to eat chicken breast often?

Answer 1

You want ROASTED chicken on your diet because it isn't a sponge for fat the way fried chicken is.

"Shake'n'bake" chicken breasts are quite a tasty way to make roast chicken.

Consider using turkey breast and turkey meat whenever possible as a substitute for chicken --it is leaner and has less calories (and is good for your coplexion, too).

Answer 2

Grilled Marsala Chicken

Take 4 - 4oz. skinless, boneless chicken breasts. Put them in a zipper plastic bag with 2 cups Marsala Wine and 2 Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce. Seal the bag and marinate in the refrigerator for 1 hour. Remove chicken from the bag and keep the marinade.

Grill chicken for six minutes on each side or until chicken is done.

While the chicken is grilling, bring the reserved marinade to a boil in a medium skillet coated with cooking spray. Reduce the heat and simmer for about 15 minutes. Serve the chicken with the sauce.

I found this recipe on the Internet several years ago. It says that one piece of chicken is 193 calories.

Make your own Honey Mustard and marinade the chicken breasts in it. All you have to do is 1 teaspoon of honey to 2 teaspoons mustard (brown, yellow or dijion the choice is up to you). Mix the two together put it on the chicken and grill.

Or you can add lemon or lime juice and little bit of olive oil, salt and pepper and a sprig of cilantro. Wrap it in a foil packet with lemon/lime juice with a wedge of the lemon or lime in it. Grill it. When you put it in a packet it keeps moisture in and not letting the chicken dry out.

Vary your diet with fish and pork. Pork these days is very lean. Frozen fish is a great way to go. It's much cheaper than fresh (it was fresh they day it was frozen). And most brands individually seal them. Add a little balsamic vinegar or olive oil and lemon juice with thyme or rosemary and bake or grill. Fish has good for you fats like Omega-3. If you want to cook with fats like butter use in moderation so you can get the flavor of butter.

Check out the site below. They also give you the nutrional value of the recipe.

Answer 4

Sounds like you're on a food diet instead of an exercise diet.
A better question for you would be, "How many times do I have to waddle around the track to burn off the calories in a chicken breast?"

Answer 5

A weight watchers recipe I obtained from a message board at www.dwlz.com. Per serving of 2 each: 230 calories, 6 gm fat, 2 gm fiber. WW Points per serving : 5 You could also add more veggies to make this more "pot pie-ish".

1 (7 1/2 ounce) can homestyle refrigerated biscuits or buttermilk biscuits
1 cup cooked chicken breasts, diced
1 (10 1/2 ounce) can reduced-fat cream of chicken soup
2/3 cup shredded low-fat cheddar cheese
1 teaspoon dried parsley flakes
1/4 teaspoon black pepper


Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Separate biscuits and place each biscuit in a cup of an ungreased 12-hole muffin pan, pressing dough up sides to edge of cup.
In a medium bowl, combine chicken, chicken soup, cheddar cheese, parsley flakes, and black pepper. Mix well to combine.
Evenly spoon chicken mixture into prepared biscuit cups.
Bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until golden brown.
Remove from oven. Place muffin pan on a wire rack and let set for 2-3 minutes. Serve at once.

Answer 6

My wife loves this. Take boneless chicken breast. Put in frying pan with a little vegetable oil. Sprinkle with Lawry's seasoning salt. Make a salad. Slice into strips and top your salad. Every one likes it. Or--take boneless chicken breast and coat the bottom of a baking pan with cream of mushroom soup. Fillet chicken breast and cover the bottom of the pan. Then cover the chicken with more cream of mushroom soup. Bake until chicken is white and enjoy. Serve with vegetables and stuffing. Really good. Smile.
