I need Chicken Dinner Recipes

I am not following any diet - but I am trying to watch what I am eating.

I want to start incorporating more chicken dishes into my family's diet.

Can you tell me your favorite Chicken Dinners that you have while dieting or watching what you are eating.

And if you can post the recipe, that would be great!

Also if there is a post out there already with this - can you please bump it for me

Thanks!!

How about just breading a boneless chicken breast and baking it in the oven. I do that maybe once a week or once every other week.

Make this all the time:

Chicken Marsala

2 tsp olive oil
1 cup mushroom(s), fresh, sliced
1 pound uncooked boneless, skinless chicken breast, four 4 oz pieces
1 tsp dried thyme

1/2 cup wine, Marsala variety
1 1/4 cup canned beef broth, reduced-sodium, divided

Meanwhile, place chicken on a plate and season both sides with thyme, salt and pepper. Move mushrooms to outer edge of skillet once cooked. Place chicken in center of skillet and sauté until golden, about 2 to 3 minutes per side.


Add wine to skillet; simmer 1 minute. Add 3/4 cup of broth and simmer, uncovered, until chicken is tender and cooked through, about 8 minutes.


Dissolve cornstarch in remaining 1/2 cup of broth in a small bowl; add to skillet. Simmer until sauce thickens, stirring constantly and incorporating mushrooms into the liquid, about 1 minute. Serve chicken with mushroom sauce spooned over top. Yields about 3 ounces of chicken and 1/3 cup of sauce per serving.

What about chicken cattiatore? Just chicken with cut up peppers and onions with tomato puree. It's delicious over brown rice pasta, which BTW if you've never had is delish!
