Try baking it in parchment paper. These are 'baking sheets' that can be found in your grocery store...probably in the same aisle as the aluminum foil or baking supplies.

Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
For each chicken breast grab a 12" x 18" sheet of parchment paper.
Coat lightly with oil of choice....leaving a 2" border.
You can just about add anything to this. Maybe put some type of 'greens' in the center of the paper. Place the chicken on top.
Sprinkle with fresh chopped herbs.
A good combo is-- freshly chopped sage and rosemary.
Add a little chopped plum tomato, a pinch of sea salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Next, drizzle a little oil over the breast. Then fold and seal the edges of the parchment paper with narrow folds...into a "pocket".
Place the packet on a baking sheet and bake for 20 mins or until the packet it puffy and slightly browned.

To serve, transfer contents of packet onto plate and pour the juices over top.
It's nice because you can change the recipe everytime you use it. Trying different spices, herbs and vegetables.

Chicken Breast with Skin
1-2 Coriander Root
2-3 Garlic Cloves
1/2 Teaspoon Peppercorns
3 Tablespoons Light Soy Sauce
2 Tablespoons Butter
Water
1 Chicken Stock Cube
Preparation


Clean the chicken breast and add the light soy sauce.
Into a mortar, mix the garlic, coriander root, peppercorns and pound until ground up. Add this to the chicken, mix it well together so that the chicken is covered and leave to marinade for 30 minutes.
Put the butter into a pan, fry the chicken in this starting skin side down until the skin is browned, then turn it over and brown the other side. The aim is to just add some flavour, not to cook the chicken.
Place the chicken, water and stock cube in a saucepan, bring to the boil, then turn the heat down to simmer. Simmer until the water has reduced by half.
During the last 10 minutes of cooking you can use this stock to cook side vegetables like baby corn, carrots or mushrooms if you are serving these too.
Remove the chicken, slice, place in a serving bowl with some of the stock and the following sauce.

Ingredients for Sauce


5 Chillies
1 Garlic Clove
1 Teaspoon Sugar
1/2 Teaspoon Salt
1 Tablespoon Dark Soy Sauce
Preparation

1. Mix chillies, garlic, sugar and salt in a mortar and pound it until the mixture is ground up, then add the dark soy sauce.

2. You can spoon this sauce over the chicken, as I’ve done for the photograph, or if some of your guests don’t like spicy chilli, you can serve it as a side sauce.

Saying this chicken is boiled is not the full story, it is first pan fried to get some flavour from the browning, then simmered slowly in a stock, and finally served up with a delicions spicy dark sauce. It’s healthy chicken but with an unhealthy taste!

The most commonly found protein on a bodybuilder's plate is boneless, skinless chicken breast. With the highest protein and lowest fat per portion than any other part of the chicken, it's a great choice of lean protein. While there are plenty of recipes, marinades and cooking methods for preparing chicken, there are times when even chopping up vegetables is too time consuming. These quick flavoring suggestions are suitable for everyday eating and will only require a few things already on hand in most kitchen cabinets.


Tobasco: Tabasco sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper

Italian: Add a variety of Italian herbs (rosemary, basil, tarragon, arugula) and/or a few tablespoons of stewed tomatoes


Lemon-Pepper: Use salt-free lemon-pepper seasoning or squeeze real lemon and pepper onto the chicken

Lemon-Dill: Use salt-free lemon-pepper seasoning and dill or squeeze real lemon juice, dill, and pepper onto the chicken.

Vinaigrette:Use 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar or balsamic dressing per 4 oz.

Spicy Tex Mex: Use prepared salsa or chili powder

Garlic & Pepper: Crushed garlic, garlic powder, or minced garlic (from a jar)and fresh ground pepper

Lemon & Rosemary: Lemon juice, rosemary, and a bit of garlic powder

Ingredients:

- 2 lbs of chicken breast cut into bite sized cubes
- EVOO
- 2 cups rice
- one small onion chopped
- one red pepper
- small jar of green olives
- packet of Sazon Goya
- Garlic powder

In a pan, brown the chicken breast which has been sprinkled with garlic powder in some evoo until nearly cooked through. You may need to do in stages. Set aside

Cook the rice per the instructions. While rice is cooking, saute the onions and peppers until soft. When soft, mix into the rice along with the packet of Sazon Goya and continue cooking the rice. When the rice is nearly done, add the olives and chicken and cook until rice and the chicken is fully cooked. This should be timed so it's only another 5 minutes or so.

This usually gives me about 5 servings.

LOW FAT FRIED CHICKEN

1/2 - cup all purpose flour
1/2 - cup corn flakes, crumbled to the consistency of uncooked instant oatmeal
2 Tbs. - corn starch
1 tsp. - Lawry’s season salt
1/2 tsp. - black pepper
1 tsp. - dried parsley
1 - egg white beaten with 1/4 cup water
4 - skinless, boneless chicken breasts
2 Tbs. - corn oil*

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Combine the flour, corn flake crumbs, corn starch, season salt, black pepper, and parsley in a large Zip Lock bag and mix well by sealing the bag and shaking it. Dip the chicken breasts in the egg white mixture, one at a time, making sure they are completely coated. Open the Zip Lock bag and lay each coated breast inside on top of the coating mixture. Once the last breast is added, seal the bag and shake the breasts until well coated with the mixture, and set aside.

Spray a cookie sheet with non-stick cooking spray and divide one tablespoon of cooking oil into four little puddles on the pan. Using a finger, smear the oil around until each puddle is about the size of a chicken breast but not touching each other. Remove the chicken breasts from the bag after giving them another shake and place one on each oiled spot on the pan. Bake the chicken for fifteen minutes or until the bottom is crisp. Lift the chicken off the pan with a spatula onto a plate. Re-oil their respective spots on the pan with the remaining tablespoon of oil and return the breasts to the pan, uncooked side down. return the pan to the oven and bake for another fifteen to twenty minutes or until the breasts are crisp on both sides.

Each breast contains approximately:

Calories: 230
Protein: 35g
Carbohydrates: 15g
Fat: 5g (as consumed)

*The oil is only used to crisp the coating, although some of it soaks into the coating, the majority is left on the pan. Also, bear in mind that the finished product is not going to look or taste like your Aunt Kizzy’s southern fried chicken, but it should be crisp, juicy, and taste a whole lot better than a skinned breast.


Low Fat Chicken Chimichangas

4 - light flour tortillas
2 - grilled chicken breasts, bones and skin removed, cut into small pieces
1 cup – cooked rice
1 cup - fat free beans
1 cup - tomato salsa
5 oz, - fat free cheddar cheese, shredded
1/4 cup - fat free sour cream

Lay the tortillas out on your counter top and evenly distribute the chicken pieces in a line down the center of each tortilla. Add a quarter cup of beans, rice and two tablespoons of salsa. Sprinkle one once of cheese over the filling and roll the tortilla by first folding in the right and left sides and then rolling it up from the bottom away from you. Turn seam side down and lay them in a baking dish. Spoon the remaining salsa over each chimichanga and sprinkle with the remaining cheese. Bake in a 350 degree oven for about twenty minutes or until the cheese is melted and starts to brown. Remove from the oven and top with sour cream.

Chicken Breast Supreme with Fennel and bean salad
Gordon gets the Glasgow Rangers eating healthily with this chicken and fennel recipe from the F Word kitchen

Serves 4

Ingredients
4 chicken breast supreme, bone in, skin on
2 sprigs fresh rosemary
1 garlic clove, lightly crushed
3 sprigs fresh thyme
1pt chicken or vegetable stock
Olive oil
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
For the haricot bean salad:
300g tinned haricot beans, drained
300g baby spinach leaves, washed
180g black olives in oil, (drained weight)
2 tbsp chopped basil
100ml extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
1 tbsp Dijon mustard
For the roast fennel:
2 large fennel bulbs, trimmed and outer layers removed
Balsamic vinegar, to drizzle
Method: How to make poached and sautéed chicken breast supreme
1. Preheat the oven to 200˚C.

2. Cut the fennel bulb into sixths (or quarters if the bulbs are small). Place on a non-stick baking tray, lined with foil and drizzle over a little olive oil followed by an equal amount of balsamic vinegar. Roast for approximately 20 minutes until the fennel is tender and beginning to caramelise. When ready to serve remove from oven and drizzle with a tbsp of the vinaigrette.

3. In the meantime gently heat a pan of stock and add the thyme, rosemary, garlic and a pinch of salt. Add the seasoned chicken breasts and poach over a very gentle heat for approx 6 mins. Remove the chicken breasts and drain. Reserve some of the cooking liquor. Pat the chicken breasts dry and season.

4. Heat some oil in a non-stick pan and fry the chicken breasts until the skin is beautifully crisp and golden approx 4 - 6 minutes. Finally add a little butter and the thyme leaves to the chicken together with a ladleful of the reserved cooking liqueur. Baste the meat for the final minute of cooking to keep it tender. Remove from the heat, keep warm while resting.

5. Mix the haricot beans and the olives together. Pour the mustard vinaigrette over the haricot bean salad and toss to coat. In a separate bowl toss the spinach and basil with a drizzle of the vinaigrette.

6. Place a handful of the spinach on a plate, top with the fennel and beans. Slice each chicken breast in half horizontally and place on the top of the salad, spoon over a final drizzle of the vinaigrette and serve.

Tin-Foil Chicken

Ingredients:
1 lb. boneless, skinless chicken breast or thigh meat, cut in large chunks
4 Tbsp. chopped ginger
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 Tbsp. chopped cilantro
1 tsp. soy sauce
2 green onions, sliced thin
1 Tbsp. olive or mac nut oil.

Directions:
Toss all ingredients in a large bowl. Spoon 2-3 tablespoons of liquid & 1-2 chunks of chicken into a 5x5-inch square foil. Fold foil from corner to corner to create a triangle, then fold securely along each side. Continue making packets until all the chicken & liquid is used. Turn a gas barbecue to high heat & place packets directly on the grill; you can also do this using a grill pan or oven. Flip packets after 6-7 minutes; each should take about 15 minutes to cook through. Packets are ready when they sizzle & juices bubble from the seams.

Low Carb Grilled Chicken Cherry BBQ Sauce

Ingredients:
• 1 cup fresh or frozen dark sweet cherries, pitted and chopped
• 1/2 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
• 1/3 cup cherry preserves
• 1/3 cup ketchup
• 2 tablespoons cider vinegar
• 1-1/2 teaspoons minced canned chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, or more to taste (see Ingredient Note)
• 1-1/4 teaspoons dried thyme
• 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
• 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts, trimmed of fat

Directions:
Stir cherries, broth, preserves, ketchup, vinegar, chipotle peppers, thyme and allspice in a small deep bowl. Transfer to a shallow non-reactive dish large enough to hold chicken. Coat the chicken with the mixture. Next, cover and marinade in the refrigerator for a minimum of 2 hours, but preferably overnight. Preheat grill to high and oil the grill rack. After removing the chicken, transfer the marinade to a medium skillet and put aside. Reduce the grill heat to medium and grill the chicken until it is no longer pink in the middle, 7 to 9 minutes per side. Meanwhile, bring the marinade to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook until the sauce is reduced by about half, 12 to 15 minutes. Let the chicken cool slightly and serve with the sauce.

Ingredient Note:
Chipotle chilies in adobo sauce are smoked jalapenos packed in a flavorful sauce. Look for small cans in the Mexican section at your supermarket. Once opened, they'll keep for up to 2 weeks in the refrigerator or 6 months in the freezer. To oil a grill rack, oil a folded paper towel, hold it with tongs and rub it over the rack.

carbless keto fried chicken

depending on how much chicken you are planning on cooking - make up the coating as follows:
1 part wheat bran
1 part oat fiber
1 part seasoning & dehydrated onion
mix and spread out on a plate

cut your chicken breasts pretty thin - into strips/nuggets
dip into a bowl of egg whites and roll in the "fiber batter"

brown on the stove and I like to then "toast" them in the oven for 10 minutes, but you could just cook them in the pan too. Walden farms bbq sauce for dipping and you just had some chicken nuggets - in fact my 6 year old told me they were better because she got to make them - kids love to make this kinda thing

stuffed grilled chicken burgers (fatless & carbless)

first get your trimmed chicken breast meat and place it in the food processor along with the seasonings of choice. We used chives, garlic and onion powder.

Next step is to make 2-3 oz patties - as thin as possible. Lay them out on a platter and "fill" with the centers of choice.
We used 1 slice of fat free cheddar, grilled onions, a drop of mustard and walden farms ketchup. The possibilities are endless though! Next time we are thinking to use sliced pickled jalepenos with fat free jack.

Next make the "lids" with the 2-3 oz chicken patty to match (will make a 4-6 oz burger) and squeeze the edges together to seal the toppings in.

Have you considered that some people want to lose weight eating food that tastes good?

Did you consider that this is no problem by reducing your carb intake and having more proteins and fats? Nothing magical about fats just more calories per gram, but it makes you feel full sooner. Dropping fats and having carbs will stimulate your apetite and you will eat more food.

It is the very problem with light foods, they take away fats and add carbs for taste and people eat plenty of light foods ans keep getting fatter...

Rosemary Chicken and White Beans

(Makes 4 servings)

Ingredients:
2 lean, skinless chicken breasts, halved length-wise to make 4 pieces
1 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 1/2 tsp. dried rosemary
1/4 tsp. sea salt
1/2 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
14 1/2 oz. can stewed tomatoes, with juice
15 oz. can navy/white beans, rinsed and drained
1/2 cup pine nuts, toasted
3 whole bay leaves

Directions:
Heat the olive oil and garlic in a large skillet over medium heat. Rub one side of each piece of chicken with the seasonings. Place the chicken seasoned side down in a skillet and cook for three minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low and turn the chicken over. Add the tomatoes, bay leaves and beans. Cover and let simmer for 10 minutes. Remove from heat. Remove the bay leaves. Toss with toasted pine nuts before serving.

To toast the pine nuts, simply place them on a baking sheet in the oven at 300°F for about five minutes. Though they are not a great fat (cashews and almonds are better), they do add to this recipe. Don’t be afraid to substitute them for a better quality fat if necessary.

To spruce up the recipe for a heartier meal, add brown rice. Simply steam or boil the rice and place the chicken and beans on top.

Grilled Chicken with Roasted Peppers and Spinach
Ingredients:
• 1 chicken breast
• 1/2 cup roasted red peppers
• 1/2 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
• 3 cups fresh spinach
• pinch of salt
• pinch of crushed red pepper
• 2 cups of chicken stock

Marinade:
• 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
• 1 garlic clove (chopped)
• 3 pinches of salt
• 2 pinches of pepper
• 2 pinches of oregano
• drop of white wine

Directions:
Mix all the ingredients for the marinade in a medium bowl. Place the chicken breast in the marinade. Leave it in for as long as you desire, but 15 to 20 minutes is sufficient. The base of this marinade is balsamic vinegar, which penetrates the meat quickly. Heat grill and place the chicken breast on it. In a sauté pan, heat 1/2 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil over medium heat. This should take 15 seconds. Place the chopped garlic in the pan, wait about 10 seconds and add the spinach and quickly add the chicken stock. Cover the sauté pan for a minute then add the spices. Mix and cook for another minute or two. Spinach is then ready. Place it is in serving dish and place the grilled chicken breast on top of it. Place the roasted red peppers either on top of the chicken or alongside. Serving the peppers cold will make for a nice contrast of tastes. Pour the liquid from the spinach over everything. One chicken breast is about 30 grams of protein.

yeah bro, it is very simple, if I can grill, anyone can, we have two BBers and two athletic healthy kids in the house so we eat alot of chicken and cook in bulk. Sams Club chicken keeps really well and stays juicy even when reheated.

New to this topic. I find that if I get the breast packs like 3 to a pack around 2 pounds. I season them with a chicken rub then get the plastic wrap, and beat them flat about a 1/2 inch thick and grill. I find a consistent size, and thickness gets the best taste. It cooks fast enough that it does not dry out.

BODYBUILDING RECIPE: GRILLED CHICKEN WRAPS X 3

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Take the left-over grilled chicken, and dice. Heat for 3-4 minutes, over medium-high heat, in a pan with extra virgin olive oil, couple teaspoons of lime juice (to taste), and lemon pepper. The idea is to just take the chill out of the left-over chicken. It is already cooked, so no need to worry about "cooking".


For the wraps, use whichever you prefer. I mix it up between corn/flour, and use a lot of the sundried tomato or spinach tortillas. And I will make 2-3 wraps depending on my hunger and caloric needs for that day.

Recipe 1: - Mediterranean Wraps:
Spread hummus on the wraps, and then add the diced chicken. Roll into a burrito style wraps - use tooth picks to hold together if overfilled/necessary

Recipe 2 - Mexican Wraps:
Spread guacamole, a little salsa, and some low fat shredded cheese. Add diced chicken. Roll into a burrito style wraps - use tooth picks to hold together if overfilled/necessary

Recipe 3: Italian
Spread some gravy (tomato sauce/pizza sauce - whatever is around), low-fat shredded mozzarella and roll into a burrito style wraps - use tooth picks to hold together if overfilled/necessary

Take the wraps and put onto an un-greased baking pan. Heat in oven for about 5 mins. until the tops of the tortillas are just starting to brown (the bottoms will be crisp by then).

Biggie973 pretty much has this thread covered. Some of these can virtually be used for contest prep, but I look forward to trying some of them during my off season.

I would post some of my own, but most of mine are very basic compared to the rest. For example here is a simple one I like:

-Purchase boneless skinless chicken breasts
-Wrap each breast separately in aluminum foil
-Before wrapping each breast, add chopped onion, cilantro, salt, and 3tbsp salsa
-Cook at 400 deg., for 30-35 min
-Serve with white rice and add salsa to taste

The 5 ingredients:
4 (6-ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
1 cup multicolored cherry or grape tomatoes, halved
3 tablespoons oil and vinegar dressing, divided
20 olives, halved
1/2 cup (2 ounces) crumbled feta cheese.




Preparation

Prepare grill to medium-high heat. Sprinkle chicken evenly with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper. Place chicken on grill rack coated with cooking spray, and grill for 6 minutes on each side or until chicken is done. Keep warm. Combine tomatoes, 1 1/2 tablespoons dressing, and olives in a medium skillet over medium heat, and cook for 2 minutes or until tomatoes soften slightly and mixture is thoroughly heated, stirring occasionally. Brush chicken with remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons dressing. Cut each chicken breast half into 3/4-inch slices. Top each chicken breast half with 1/4 cup tomato mixture. Sprinkle each serving with 2 tablespoons cheese and torn basil leaves, if desired.
