chicken ideas

so according to my plan i'm at the stage where i can introduce all foods that are high protein, under 10g of fat, less than 5g of sugar. only thing i haven't tried yet is raw vegetables other than some raw spinach. i have been too scared to try lettuce even though i can. my cousin had the same surgeon but had a different nutritionist back then, and didn't eat raw vegetables until farther out, i wanna say either 3 or 6 months i can't remember. however cooked vegetables i've had

anyway if anyone has ideas what i could cook with chicken. i've made pecan crusted chicken and almost crusted chicken. i can eat about 2-2.5oz of it with no issues, so far no issues at all with chicken. i am just out of ideas. if anyone can share recipies or link me to good WL friendly chicken recipes i'd greatly appreciate it.

 i ALWAYS make honey garlic chicken. super easy.

Mix  splash of orange juice, garlic powder, soya sauce and sugar twin/splenda brownsugar to taste. it tastes JUST like it. toss in some pepper too!!! it makes a good stirfry base too!

Try Nik's site. I am only 4 days post op and I can't wait to try some of her recipes!

Crock pot!!!!  I put chicken in the crock pot with cream of chicken soup or cream of celery and cook all day. 


Look up crock pot recipes.  They are the moistest and easiest.

I love to take chicken breast tenderloins and dip them in egg then roll in crushed durkee french fried onions. bake at 350 for about 20-30 minutes. YUM!! have some in the oven now

Mexican Chicken:
Chicken breasts
Jar of Salsa
Cook in crock pot till tender then melt in 8oz of Cream Cheese

Italian Chicken
Chicken Breasts
Jar of marinara sauce
Cook in crock pot till tender then melt in 8oz of Ricotta cheese

Oriental Chicken
Chicken breasts
1/2 cup of low sodium soy sauce
1/2 cup of balsalmic vinegar
sliced ginger, onion, and a bay leaf
splenda to taste
cook in crock pot till tender

Cheesey Chicken
Chicken Breasts
1 can cream of chicken soup
cook in crock pot till tender then melt in one cup of shredded cheddar cheese

1/2 Cup EVOO
1/2 Cup Vinegar
4 TBLS Chicken seasoning
1 egg

Mix this together and put in a baking dish.  Add chicken (this should season about 12 to 16 oz)
Make sure you puncture the chicken with a fork several times or pound it flat so the flavor reaches the inside

Let this sit in the fridge overnight

You can either bake this in the oven till done (seasoning and all)
Or...BETTER...put it on the grill

This is a family fav!

OR

1 bag of frozed home fries with onions and peppers
1/4 C cajun spice
2 Cans fat free cream of chicken soup
1 - 2 chicken breasts boiled or steamed
8 oz Shredded cheese of choice (I prefer cheddar)

Mix everything but the cheese in a 9X11 pan and spread out evenly.  Top with cheese.  Bake in the oven at 350 for 45 minutes and serve

 I saute boneless skinless chicken thighs olive oil, zucchini, onion, and tomatoes. I use lemon pepper, delicious!
