I made this chicken the other day - really good!
Chicken tenders
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Cut boneless skinless chicken breasts into strips lengthwise, (one breast per female, two for a male).
Use regular style shake and bake to coat the chicken strips, place on a baking sheet sprayed with cooking spray, spray strip tops lightly with cooking spray and bake 15 - 20 minutes (until done).
Really good with oven baked fries (regular and sweet potato!)

I do a homemade pasta sauce with chicken meatballs. You need: extra-lean ground chicken breast, mixed with egg white (2 whites per pound of meat), pepper, oregano, basil minced garlic and a few crushed whole-grain crackers to bind it all together. I cook them in the steamer before adding them to homeade sauce. (the steamer lets any fat off). After simmering for a few hours in tomato sauce, you can't tell they're low fat!
serving suggestions were:
whole wheat pasta
adding cottage cheese instead of parmesaen
baking them on a rack

Tabasco sauce (or other favorite hot sauce)
2 tsp cayenne pepper
2 tsp crushed, dried jalapeno peppers
2 pinch of salt
1 tbsp Cajun rub/spices
1 ½ cups of frozen green beans

1. Combine the hot sauce, cayenne pepper, salt with chicken in a container and really roll the chicken breast around in the mix, then let it sit in the refrigerator for 3 - 10 hours (the longer, the juicier it will be)

Spice-Rubbed Chicken Fingers
Try a new take on chicken with this zesty Caribbean-inspired recipe. A cilantro dipping sauce makes the best accompaniment, but you may choose to substitute a prepared sugar-free barbecue sauce. Approved for all Phases.
Spice-Rubbed Chicken Fingers with Cilantro Dipping Sauce
Serves 2
Ingredients
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/2 pound chicken-breast tenders
1/4 cup cilantro sprigs
2 tablespoons parsley sprigs
2 tablespoons blanched, slivered almonds
1/2 clove garlic
1/2 serrano chile pepper, seeded (wear plastic gloves when handling)
1/16 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon lime juice
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon water
Sprig cilantro, for garnish
Instructions
Coat a grill rack or broiler-pan rack with cooking spray. Preheat the grill or broiler.
In a cup, combine the chili powder, cumin, and salt. Cut two 1/2-inch-deep slashes in each side of the chicken tenders. Rub the spice mixture over the chicken, pressing it into the slits. Place the chicken in a baking pan and coat completely with cooking spray. Let stand for 10 minutes.
In a food processor, combine the cilantro, parsley, almonds, garlic, chile pepper, and salt. Process until chopped. While the processor is running, add the lime juice and oil through the feed tube, stopping the machine once or twice to scrape down the sides of the container until the sauce is smooth. Pour the sauce into a bowl. Stir in the water, cover, and chill until ready to serve.
Place the chicken on the prepared rack and grill or broil 6 inches from the heat, turning several times, for 15 minutes, or until a thermometer inserted in the thickest portion registers 170°F and the juices run clear. Serve with the sauce and garnish with the cilantro.

Spread 1/2 beans on top of the tortillas. sprinkle 1/2 of chicken on top. Place 1/2 cup salsa on top of chicken. place 2 slices of pepperjack cheese on top( i break the cheese up and spread it out).

I didn't qant to cook dinner, too hot..this is what I came up with-
Craisin Chicken Salad
2 grilled boneless, skinless chicken breasts, chopped
1 medium apple, chopped
1/4c craisins
2 oz mixed nuts, chopped
2 stalks celery, chopped
Dressing
2 TBSP smart balance mayo
1 tbsp Dijon mustard
½ tbsp sugar free maple syrup
1 tsp lemon juice
Mix all of the salad ingredients in a medium bowl. Mix all of the dressing ingredients together in a separate bowl, then pour over and mix with salad.

Serve over a heap of torn romaine lettuce or salad greens of your choice.
This recipe seems high in fat, but the fat comes from unsaturated (good fat). If you want to reduce the fat content further you could use a low or no-fat mayo and only 1 oz mixed nuts.
You could also use all walnuts in place of the mixed nuts (slightly healthier), I just had mixed nuts in the cupboard, so that is what I used.
This turned out to be really tasty.

2 easy chicken recipes
This is the easiest way to make chicken breasts and my daughter even likes them!
preheat oven to 350 degrees.
place frozen bonelss,skinless chicken breasts in a single layer in a 9X13 pan. Pour a can of Organic or low sodium cream of chicken or cream of mushroom soup over the breasts, turning them once to coat them. Cover pan with foil and place in oven. Check internal temp of chicken in 45 minutes, depending on the thickness of the breats it will take 45 minutes - 1 hour. You can throw some potatoes in next to the pan for baked potatoes, they take an hour. The soup in the pan makes a tasty sauce for your baked potato.
I also make up a second pan with my own favorite coating and cook it at the same time:
Amy's spicy-sweet chicken
about 1/2c lime-chili hot sauce (Frank's)
1-2 tbsp splenda (depends on hot or how sweet yuou like it)
2 tbsp lowfat or fat free sourcream.
Blend ingredients and pour over two chicken breasts in a 8" square pan, cover with foil and bake at 350 for 45 minutes - an hour. MMM spicy.

Those numbers seem odd to me, seems a little high in carbs for the ingredients and low in protein, when I made a similar meatloaf recipe one serving was 29g of protein and 9g carbs.... Anyhow - my husband liked these and it is an easy recipe to make ahead and put the burgers into plastic baggies for later meals.

Here is a recipe I have used for General Tsao's chicken that is less greasy :
It is from a Martin Yan cookbook
The General's Spicy Chicken serves 4
12 oz boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 3/4" pieces
Marinate the chicken in 2 Tbsp soy sauce (you could use low sodium soy sauce)and 2 tbsp cornstarch
For the Sauce:
2 tbsp hoisin sauce
2 tbsp rice vinegar
2 tbsp water
1 1/2 tbsp light soy sauce
2 tsp sesame oil
2 tsp sugar (you could use splenda)
1 1/2 tsp hot pepper sauce
to cook
2 tbsp cooking oil
10 dried whole chilis
2 tsp garlic, chopped
3 green onions, cut into 1" pieces
Combine marinade ingredients in a bowl, add the chicken and stir to coat. let stand 15 minutes.
Combine the sauce ingredients in a bowl.
Place a wok over high heat until hot. Add oil and swirl. Add chilis and cook 10 seconds, add chicken and garlic - stirfry 2 minutes. Add onions and sauce - cook until sauce thickens - 2-3 minutes. Continue cooking to caramelize or until all pieces are well-coated, about 1 minute.
You could serve it over brown rice, with a side of broccoli for a complete, healthy meal!

If you like the flavor in fresh spring rolls you will like this 'salad' I have had this made with beef and with chicken, both are good. The hostess of the party at which I tried the chicken version said her husband also makes it with seafood.
This version, which I found online, is not very spicy at all, so I am guessing it has been 'Americanized' because the authentic version I had at the party was spicier (and they said it wasn't full heat because the party had a lot of children eating.) They served hot chile sauce on the side to spice it up further.
At a Thai restuarant this is served with a mound of sticky rice and a clear soup. You take a scoop of the laab, a scoop of sticky rice and a spoonful of soup.
At my local Asian Grocery you can buy laab at the deli and it comes with lettuce leaves to wrap it in to eat it as a snack.
I am eating just the meat mixture, since my current plan is fairly low carb, and it is excellent on its own.
You can ask the butcher to grind chicken breasts for you if you want to make chicken, or you can finely chop the raw chicken yourself, which is tedious, lol.
LAAB NUEA (GROUND BEEF SALAD) (or chicken or seafood/shrimp)
Serving Size : 4
1 lb Ground beef or chicken, ground or finely minced
2 tb Fish sauce (nam pla)
6 Shallots, thinly sliced - chopped
3 1/4 inch slices galangal, minced
2 tb Ground roasted sticky rice** - ground (prik khee no pon)
1/4 c Lime juice
2 tb Scallion (spring onion),
2 tb Cilantro leaves, chopped
1 t Thai red chili pepper,
15 Mint leaves
Description: The blend of fresh herbs and lime juice makes this salad very refreshing. This laab recipe was taken to Bangkok by the people of the Northeast and is one of the favorite dishes of Thailand. Other meats such as chicken or pork can also be used.
Directions: Combine the ground beef with the lime juice, fish sauce, galangal and shallots. Heat a skillet and cook the ground beef mixture on medium-high heat for 5 minutes or until the beef is cooked. Remove the skillet from the heat and add the chopped green onion and cilantro and the ground roasted rice. Mix thoroughly so that everything is well combined. Remove to a serving plate, spoon the ground pepper on the side of the plate if desired, and garnish with the mint leaves. Serve with an accompaniment of raw vegetables, such as long string beans or snake beans, sliced cabbage, green leaf lettuce/Chinese lettuce, basil leaves, and swamp cabbage or spinach.
I added the chili pepper, minced, and the cilantro and mint , chopped, all at once with the rice powder. I also only used one tbsp rice powder to reduce the carb content and it tastes just fine.
** TERMS
Roasted sticky rice: Prepared by adding raw sticky rice to a hot skillet and cooking until it is golden brown. Add a tablespoon of water to the pan at occasional intervals. Grind in a mortar with a pestle if ground roasted sticky rice is needed.** I found pre-ground roast rice powder at the asian grocery.
Galangal (kha): A relative of the ginger root, galangal is pale yellow and has a unique, delicate flavor. Fresh young ginger root, but not dried ginger, is an adequate substitute, but does not properly replace the unique flavor.
Fish sauce (nam pla): A salty, pale brown liquid used widely in Thai cooking, this is made from fermented small fish or shrimp. The fish are salted and fermented in jars and then the liquid is collected. It adds salt to many dishes and is essential for authentic Thai flavors--and is available from Asian food stores.
