    1/2 cup dill relish
    1/2 cup scallions, chopped
    1 teaspoon dill weed seasoning

    Thumbs up One of my favorite ways to prepare Chicken Breast...

    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.

    Lightbulb Boiled Chicken in Spicy Sauce

    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!

    Lightbulb Flavoring suggestions for your Chicken Breast...

    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

    Thumbs up Arroz con Pollo (Courtesy of Mouse)

    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.
