Help! Does anyone have GOOD low-fat, low-carb, &/or low-cal recipes for boneless chicken breasts?

Question

I'm sooooo sick of boneless chicken breasts, but they're EXCELLENT when I'm trying to lose weight (I lost a lot of weight a while ago, but I'm working on losing a little more). Can anyone give me recipes for chicken that won't add a lot of cals, carbs, and/or fat - THAT ACTUALLY TASTE GOOD?

By the way, I've tried lots of websites, and I've never found anything very helpful. If you're going to suggest a website, please make it a good one. Thank you!

Answer 1

get a bowl with 1 cup 1%milk, and 2 eggs, stir well. Soak your chicken breasts in mixture. On a plate place whole wheat flour and season as desired. Get skillet warm with canola oil. Dip chicken into flour and fully cover, and fry in skillet and there you go.

Here's a recipe I came up with that I make all the time with chicken and fish.

4 chicken breasts
8 roma (plum) tomatoes cut into chunks
one medium white or yellow onion coarse chopped
one package of frozen artichoke hearts
two bell peppers (any color) coarse chopped
1/2 cup oil cured kalamata olives
1/2 cup chopped sun dried tomatoes (dried or oil cured work)
Two tablespoons brined capers (the kind in the jar)
4 cloves of garlic crushed
1 pinch crushed red pepper flakes
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup white wine, chicken broth or water.

Salt and pepper the chicken breasts to taste

Saute the garlic and anchovies in the olive oil over medium heat until the garlic is transluscent, not browned. (The anchovies dissolve and just become a flavouring for the base of the dish, you don't get a strong anchovy taste in the finished dish). Add the olives, onions, artichokes, & sun dried tomatoes and saute them for about a minute. Add the rest of the vegetables and the red pepper flakes, stir and pour over the wine, broth or water.

Wait until the fresh tomatoes begin to wilt a little, 2 to 3 minutes, and lay the chicken breasts on top and cover the pan. Check the chicken in about 6-8 minutes and test with a fork or sharp knife. Chicken is done when the juices run clear.

Serve one chicken breast (for extra flavor you can sprinkle with a little crumbled feta cheese). You don't need salt because of the olives, capers and anchovies.

The great thing about this dish is you can use just about any vegetable you like in it. I've done it with spinach and tomatoes, asparagus, broccoli and it always comes out great. Fresh cod or tilapia works well with this dish too. Any leftovers, I serve over whole grain pasta the next night.

If you want to eat truly healthy, lose body fat consistently, normalize your blood pressure, cholesterol levels, prevent cancer, and even boost your brain health and energy levels, you may have heard all over the news that the Paleo Diet has been found to be one of the best methods of achieving all of these benefits compared to any other popular "fad" diets out there.

The truth is that the Paleo Diet will never be considered a fad because it's just simply the way that humans evolved to eat over approximately 2 million years. And eating in a similar fashion to our ancestors has been proven time and time again to offer amazing health benefits, including prevention of most diseases of civilization such as cancer, heart disease, alzheimers, and other chronic conditions that are mostly caused by poor diet and lifestyle. One of the biggest misunderstandings about the Paleo Diet is that it's a meat-eating diet, or a super low-carb diet. This is not true

Here's a low-fat, low-carb, low-salt recipe that I've used for years and nobody can guess that it's good for them!

BTW - you can refrigerate the leftovers and they're even better the next day!

CHICKEN MEDITERRANEO
Serves 4


4 to 6 skinless boneless chicken breasts
Salt (to taste)
Black pepper (to taste)
Garlic powder (to taste)
Oregano (to taste)
½ cup red wine vinegar
½ cup olive oil
Juice of one small lemon
3 tbsp capers with a bit of juice
1 cup pitted prunes
½ cup green Spanish olives
½ cup black Greek olives
2 bay leaves, torn into pieces
¼ cup brown sugar (packed)
¼ cup white wine (very dry)
¼ cup cilantro, finely chopped

Start preparations the night before. Season chicken breasts on both sides with salt, pepper, garlic powder and oregano. Place in a large bowl and squeeze lemon over all. Add oil, vinegar, capers and juice, prunes, olives and bay leaves. Cover and let marinate in the refrigerator overnight (this is essential).

Next day, preheat oven to 350 degrees. Arrange chicken in a single layer in a shallow, long baking pan and spoon marinade over it evenly, scraping the bowl to get every bit. Sprinkle cilantro and brown sugar evenly over chicken and pour white wine around them.

Bake for 50-60 minutes, basting frequently with pan juices. Serve with plain noodles or rice. Have lots of bread handy for sopping up the juices.
