Question for Healthy Eaters

[wanderingenough]

Need a dinner idea for tomorrow night that is healthy and involves chicken. I bought some breasts to make whole wheat chicken parm and now I'm not feeling that idea. I've got the usuals to go with it (garlic, olive oil, spices, etc) and could run to the store if needed. Any ideas?

My favorite is chicken quesadillas. It can be as healthy as you make it. We do chicken, onions, peppers and cheese. You have to watch the shells though. Some are like 300 calories each, but if you go with the spinach or low carb ones they are much less.

This is a fave of ours too! 

Chicken pot pie? It's not bad if you only use one crust on top and skip the bottom one.

I love chicken in the crockpot with salsa. My favorite is probably the Tostitos Cantina salsa.

You can put it in a salad or serve with rice. Garnish with avocado.

Chicken taco chili in the crockpot. Delish.

We're usually lazy so we just use the Lawry's marinades most nights, served with brown rice + veggie.

H's new favorite is a mexicali chicken recipe he found. It involves honey dijon mustard, lime juice and salsa.

I am laughing at myself for answering in this thread because I am not a healthy eater so I don't know why I even opened it.

HoneySpider - I can change the title to "people who know how to cook healthy things" so it won't scare off people like us!

Ditto spankswife...crockpot salsa chicken. We use it for taco bowls and chicken salads.
