Here's some that were on in the past. I didn't take the time to credit the posters unless it was in the post.

BBQ CHICKEN BREASTS

Marinate chicken breasts in Poultry Marinade for 1 hour. Cook chicken over medium heat and brush with BBQ sauce lightly before serving.


1 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup dry white wine
1 tsp. vinegar
1 garlic clove, finely diced
1/2 tsp. paprika
1/4 tarragon
2 tsp. salt

combine ingredients in a dish. Then simple submerge chicken breast(s). Good Luck!

CHICKEN PARMESAN

2 boneless / skinless chicken breasts
1/2 cup bread crumbs
2 tsp. grated parmesan
dash of salf & pepper
1 egg
2 tbsp. white flour
1 tbsp vegetable oil
1 cup tomato sauce

Ok. pound the chicken breast lightly until they are thin and tender. Next, in a dish combine parmesan, salt & pepper. Then in another dish beat the egg. Now, pat the chicken breast with flour, then into the egg, then into the parmesan concoction.
In an oblong dich, pour in the oil and heat onm MEDIUM for about 1 minute. Next, place the chicken into the dish and cook on MEDIUM for 2.5 munutes on each side.
Remove chicken from microwave and let stand 3 min.
Heat tomato sauce in a bowl at MEDIUM for 2 min.
Pour the sauce over the chicken.. and maybe some left over parmesan and you're done!
This can be served with rice, potatoes or pasta.

Hope that helps liven up your chicken breasts!

Protein Bars

Tofu Bars
1 box Tofu, drained and whipped or mashed (I use low-fat MORI-NU)
1/2 cup egg whites (All White's Brand not Eggbeaters as they have flavors in them )
2/3 cup protein powder ( I use the multi blend like HDT, Muscle Provider, Ultra Size with 0-3 carbs in them. If I use 100% whey it will need an extra tablespoon of flour because 100% whey make the batter wetter!You can use part MPR powder like Met Rx (but it will increase the carb ratio )
16-18 Splenda packets(can use Nutra-Sweet Equal which will be sweeter)
*i have never tried with sugar but the eqivalent would be 1/3 to 1/2 cup.
1/3 cup regular oats
1/3 cup whole wheat flour or oat flour OR grind 1/3 cup oats until very fine.
1 tsp vanilla and 1 tsp cinnamon
optional: 1/4 cup raisins and sprinke crushed almond slices
on top. Batter should not be thin like a cake more stiff like a brownie batter.
(I don't add baking powder because they get cake like with out it they are more dense)
Put in a small 8x8 pan spray with PAM (or other) bake about
18-22 min at 350. This is the tough part. They are done when they are firm on the top but still a little soft inside.
Tofu is a funny thing as it cools it gets firm. If you over cook it it will just dry out. You may have to experiment because of all the proteins on the market. Don't use soy they taste yucky with soy.
with low fat tofu this is about 40 % carb 45% protein and 15% fat
about 938 per pan so don't eat 1/2 of it like my husband does. let them COOL before cutting

Add protein powder, peanuts, coconut and stir till mixed pretty well, add syrup (or water), and mix thoroughly(you may have to knead with your handsat this point, as mixture will be very stiff).

Natural Health and Strength
This Make 16 Protein Bars

1 Cup of Natural Peanut Butter or LowFat Peanutbutter
1 1/2 cups Honey
2 cups of protein powder (I use vanilla whey protein) (Chocolate is great too!)
3 cups dry,uncooked oatmeal

Directions:

Combine peanut butter and honey in a large nonstick pot, and warm it up over low heat . I start out with just the peanutbutter and honey, then add the protein powder,and finally the oats. You don't want to cook it, just heat it up enough to be able to stir it together.


Press into a 9" x 13" pan. Let them cool, and cut into 16 equal bars.(I cut them into 32 bars). Wrap each bar in foil or saran wrap and store in plastic baggies. No need to refrigerate, the ingredients are all natural.

Rev8ball - nothing beats whole food. if you're trying to add quality excess cals for mass and strength, we developed this recipe for heavy training. we would do at least 2 a day:

1 cup of nonfat milk
1 cup of cranberry juice
1 tbsp of heavy cream
½ cup of dry instant oatmeal
2 tbsp of raw bran
½ cup of nonfat unflavored yogurt
1 tbsp of unsalted natural peanut butter
4 tsp of malt
¼ cup unsalted soy nuts
½ cup of prepared egg whites, i.e. “egg beaters”
1 tbsp of natural honey
2 scoops of blended protein (i.e. milk and egg)
1 banana
4-6 baby carrots
1-2 other pieces of whole fruit or vegetable, i.e. apple, tomatoes, etc., cut into pieces
ice

Pour the milk and juice into a large blender. Add the oatmeal, yogurt, peanut butter, malt, eggs, honey, and protein. Blend briefly, until items are partially mixed.

Stop the blender and scrape the sides, if needed. Start the blender again, and slowly add the nuts, banana, carrots, and fruit. Mix briefly. With the blender still on, slowly add ice. Blend entire combination until well mixed, pausing occasionally to pulse-blend and scrape sides as needed.

Drink slowly, generally taking about ½ hour to consume the entire shake.

This probably isn't the EXACT same thing, but here's what I do:

20 oz. skim milk
2 tbsp. natural peanut butter
.5 cup cottage cheese
40g protein powder (1 serving MRP or 2 servings whey or whatever)
1 tbsp Udo's Choice Oil Blend (flaxseed oil)

I occaisionally add a cup of Yoplait Light Yogurt as well and sometimes a whole banana.
