Answer 1

Chicken and Angel hair pasta with Creamy Garlic Sauce

4 boneless skinless chicken breast; cooked and cut into strips
(16 oz.) angel hair pasta
2 tablespoons butter or margarine
2 large cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons
all-purpose flour
3/4 cup ready-to-serve chicken broth
3/4 cup 1% or 2% milk
2 teaspoons dried parsley flakes
Salt and ground
black pepper to taste
1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions:
Cook pasta according to package directions; drain. Meanwhile, in small saucepan, melt butter; add garlic. Cook over medium heat 1 minute. Add flour; cook 1 minute, stirring constantly. Stir in broth and milk. Cook, stirring frequently, until sauce boils and thickens. Add parsley, salt, pepper and cheese; stir until cheese is melted. Toss pasta with sauce; and top with sliced chicken.


This is a great alternative to the traditional Alfredo sauce, and is low in fat. You could defiantly leave out the pasta . The chicken in the sauce is great by its self.
Great served with a simple salad. Hope this helps. ENJOY

Easy Recipe Ideas to Make Nutritious Meals from Chicken
The most commonly found protein on a bodybuilder's plate is boneless, skinless chicken breast. With the highest protein and lowest fat per portion than any other part of the chicken, it's a great choice of lean protein. While there are plenty of recipes, marinades and cooking methods for preparing chicken, there are times when even chopping up vegetables is too time consuming. These quick flavoring suggestions are suitable for everyday eating and will only require a few things already on hand in most kitchen cabinets.
Tobasco: Tabasco sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper

Italian: Add a variety of Italian herbs (rosemary, basil, tarragon, arugula) and/or a few tablespoons of stewed tomatoes

Lemon-Pepper: Use salt-free lemon-pepper seasoning or squeeze real lemon and pepper onto the chicken

Lemon-Dill: Use salt-free lemon-pepper seasoning and dill or squeeze real lemon juice, dill, and pepper onto the chicken.

Vinaigrette:Use 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar or balsamic dressing per 4 oz.

Spicy Tex Mex: Use prepared salsa or chili powder

Garlic & Pepper: Crushed garlic, garlic powder, or minced garlic (from a jar)and fresh ground pepper

Lemon & Rosemary: Lemon juice, rosemary, and a bit of garlic powder

Answer 3

Cut breats of chicken into strips and stir fry w/ red and and green or yellow bell peppers. Use olive oil, a little garlic, lite salt, and any spice that you like. Sprinkle w/ toasted sesame seeds.
OR
Chicken strips, stir fried w/ peppers and onions, garlic, salt and pepper, 1 T sugar, and curry powder mixed in little broth or water with cornstarch to thicken. It is easy and wonderful. The mixture of cornstarch and water added to the ingredients will thicken as it cooks. Then, take off the stove so veggies don't get soggy.

I am not sure how healthy it is but it is pretty tasty. Take a can of cream of mushroom soup and put it over the chicken breast in a bake pan. Cook in the oven at recommend time and temp. Good with rice and veggies.

Answer 5

garlic
peppers
mushrooms
tomatos
some potatos if you like (you can add some other vegtables too)
and 300 gr of chicken breast

you cut the chicken breast in to little peices like a size of a thumb.
you cut peppers,tomatos,mushrooms,and garlic into little peices too. you put all of the veggies in a bowl and mix them. add just a little oliveoil. then add the chicken. add some black pepper, salt, (or other spices you like). put the mixture in an oven bag and cut a little whole on top the bag. cook it at almost 350 degrees fahrenheit for 20-25 minutes and its done.

bon apetit.

Answer 6

Throw it into the microwave. Because microwaves vary, suggest you try cooking for 1 minute at 60 power level. Keep checking and re-cooking till done, adjusting time and power as needed. Be careful you don't overcook because the edges dry out easily, but the inside needs to be fully cooked. (That's why it's important not to cook it at full power...microwave ovens cook from the inside out at reduced power, but outer portion cooks too quickly at full power).

Then make a sandwich out of it or eat it with a baked potato (microwaved, of course) and veggie.

Don't think you can fix it any quicker, simpler, tastier, or healthier.

Answer 7
