This is my semi healthy throw together dinner.

Cut up chicken to bite size pieces
In a frying pan add olive oil and a small bit of butter
Fry the chicken
in a small skillet put olive oil and little butter and saute some veggies, ( I use yellow squash, onions, pea pods, zuccini, mushrooms)
Boil water for pasta (any kind, I use bow ties for the boys)
when everything is cooked mix all together.

The little bit of olive oil and butter (plus any seasoning you want) makes a light sauce that coats everything

hehehe I know it sounds silly but my fav is Cambells Cheesy Chicken and rice casserole WAYYY easy and you can find the recipe and the can BUT i Love it i feel like im eating healthy (only sorta thou ) and I get a good fill

well, for tonight, I made this recipe: http://chicken.betterrecipes.com/lem...tedgarlic.html

only I made it with chicken breasts and it was VERY good. dh actually asked me to make it again....and often. so that's good :) it was SOOOOOOOOOOO simple. I served it was some seasoned rice and corn on the cob. it was super yummy!!!!!

Well I was going to give you the recipe for Lemon Pepper Chicken, but it sounds like you have that down pat already. Have you tried those Walmart chickens? I used to do my own lemon pepper chicken, but someone recommended the premade ones at Walmart (already cooked and everything) and now we get those! They also have a rotessiery one and carribean jerk.

I also have an awesome chicken recipe that I created, but I can't find the stuff to make it anymore.

But you marinate chicken breasts in Franks Chile n lime hot sauce, then wrap it in tinfoil and sprinkle HOlland house powdered margarita mix on top of it. I turn mine every 15 mins and add more margarita mix to the top each time I turn it. It soooo good, but I can't find the dry. margarita mix anymore

I love Outback Steakhouse's Alice Springs Chicken. I found a recipe that is very similar and it is my fav!:)

Sometimes if I'm feeling lazy I don't make the honey mustard sauce and use Ken's Steakhouse honey mustard instead.

Aussie Chicken

INGREDIENTS
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - pounded to 1/2 inch thickness
2 teaspoons seasoning salt
6 slices bacon, cut in half
1/2 cup prepared yellow mustard
1/2 cup honey
1/4 cup light corn syrup
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon dried onion flakes
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
2 cups shredded Colby-Monterey Jack cheese
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

DIRECTIONS
Rub the chicken breasts with the seasoning salt, cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Place bacon in a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium high heat until crisp. Set aside.

In a medium bowl, combine the mustard, honey, corn syrup, mayonnaise and dried onion flakes. Remove half of sauce, cover and refrigerate to serve later.

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Place the breasts in the skillet and saute for 3 to 5 minutes per side, or until browned. Remove from skillet and place the breasts into a 9x13 inch baking dish. Apply the honey mustard sauce to each breast, then layer each breast with mushrooms and bacon. Sprinkle top with shredded cheese.

Bake in preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until cheese is melted and chicken juices run clear. Garnish with parsley and serve with the reserved honey mustard sauce.

Oh yummy...that one sounds good too. Hubby and I love anything with LOTS of garlic!! :p :D

Your welcome...it is GOOD!!! :thumbup:

Ohhhh, i feel your pain! BF is the same way.

I am so un-creative when it comes to cooking. I started using my crockpot and its been a hit with the BF.

A couple of weeks ago i put two chicken breasts and some BBQ sauce in the crockpot on low all day while I was at work, come home and its done. So extremely simple and BF loved it! The chicken is so nice and tender. Cooked up some veggies and rice to go along with it.

I make this ALL the time. Its so yummy!! BF loves it too. He always asks me to make it. :)

I make chicken scampy all the time, it's so easy/ Just put cut up chunks of chicken in frying pan with lots of fresh garlic and alot of butter, add some cooking wine and sliced black olives. Then cook ziti and mix together. YUM If you like you can add broccoli.

This is my favorite chicken recipe. It sounds weird (strange ingredients) but it's so good you could lick the plate - and I sometimes do if no one is looking. It's a "healthy low-fat" recipe.
