Help me with lunch?

Question

I make lunch for the week ahead of time. I like to buy a bag of frozen boneless chicken breast tenders and need a tasty lowfat way to fix 'em. (I'm happy with brown rice and veggies as a side, just need something different to do with the chicken). I usually saute it with rosemary and white wine or lemon pepper or garlic. Any ideas? ~Thanks!

Remember, LOWFAT ;-)

Answer 1

do them up in different sauces in baggies, some with teriyaki,others in honey mustard dressing,use different marinades for each day. The you can always just serve them over your choice of salad. Light and nutricious...You can also cook them all at the same time as usual...just different flavors...

Answer 2

You can grill the chicken breasts and add a passion fruit or mango sauce.
Passion fruit - if you have the fruit, get the inside (you can keep some seeds, too), add the same amount of water, a pinch of salt, a few mustard seeds, and let it boil to reduce to 2/3.
Add this sauce to the grilled chicken. It gives a nice touch.
You can do the same with a generous slice of mango. You either blend it with the water, or you can reduce it to small pieces.
The rest is the same.
About the side dishes. You can make 'rice' from caulyflower.
Cook a caulyflower head in water with a pinch of salt until it is tender. Grate it all into very small pieces. You can keep that in your fridge for a week.
When you want to heat it, you can put a tea spoon of olive oil in a pan, if you like you can add some garlic, and heat the amount of caulyflower you want to serve.

Answer 4

Think ethnic on this one. A week's worth:

Try Hawaiian: Saute as usual but add canned or fresh pineapple chunks, parsely, red onion, and a few almonds.

Or try Mexican: Saute as usual adding white chopped onions, chopped cilantro, fresh diced tomatoes, fresh chopped jalapenos, and a pinch of whole cumin that has been sauteed for a few seconds in a pan to bring out the essential oils.

Try Italian. Add chopped yellow onions, chopped red bell peppers, diced fresh tomatoes, a few black olives, fresh chopped basil, and a few fennel seeds that have been previously sauteed to bring out the flavor.

Try Chinese. Add chopped scallions, chopped celery, chopped baby bhoc choy or green cabbage, bean sprouts, and fresh, minced garlic and ginger. Add a little soy sauce and a teaspoon of sugar or Splenda and Gawala!

Try Thai. Add chopped yellow onions, fresh, chopped mint, fresh chopped cilantro, minced garlic, and a little coconut milk from a can. You can even add a little curry paste (Hot, but good!)

Try Greek. Add chopped white onions, olives, tomatoes, a little olive oil, mint, and basil. Crumble a little feta cheese on top as a garnish.

Try a little more Mexican. Caldo Xochitl. Chicken soup named after the Aztec Queen Xochitl (pronounced So-chill). Boil some chicken with chicken bouillon (1 cube for each cup of water. Add 1/2 cup of lime juice for each 2 cups of water, a little oregano and salt and pepper to taste. Add some toppings when you serve: Diced tomatoes, diced avocados (a good source of good fat), chopped scallions, minced jalapenos, sliced black olives, and thin strips of corn tortillas that have been toasted in a oven for a few minutes until crisp. Just brush each side of the tortilla with a little olive oil then slice in thin strips and toast in the oven.

Enjoy!

Answer 5

Try Smothered chicken.

Pound the breasts until they are 1/4"
If you like you can dredge in flour & seasonings or seasoned bread crumbs. (not mandatory)

Saute until just done, remove from pan, add 1T butter to pan and some sliced onions, saute until opague.
Return chicken to pan pile onions on top, and put a thin slice of your favorite cheese on then cover pan until cheese is melted.

Variation.
Do everything the same to the onion part. During sauteing onion add slices of granny smith apples. When you return the chicken to the pan and pile on the onion & apple, top with jarlsburg cheese or baby swiss.
