I need a really good idea for dinner, any suggestions?!
Answers: i have a family of six, and we are really partial to chicken, so if it is a easy and equally tasty recipe, 10 points goes to the winner!! hope you all think of something yummy for me!! oh yeah, and the meal needs to be under 400 calories, that is a plus!
make grilled chicken breasts topped with marinara and provolone cheese. its like chicken parmisian without the guilt
Chicken Fried Rice
Im not sure how many calories it is, but you could look up "Chicken Francaise" on the internet-I made it in 7 grade and it was really good....although after it turns cold it smells like hot dogs lol....that would be the lemon
Why, are you all going to die if it's over 400 calories? I have some great suggestions but since you're one of those diet obsessed morons you won't get them. Enjoy the links to 'allrecipes.com' that everyone else posts though.
my mom makes a great dish i think you should try mash some potatoes put a little in a baking thingy then put some sausage links and then cheese(optional) then do this same thing til you have like five layers of it and bake it till the top browns a little browned it is the best its also quick and simple
Buy weight watchers whole wheat english muffins, split them in half, put some tomato paste on them, low fat cheese and you can put very thing slices of pepperoni or just different veggies on them. Put them in the oven on 400 degrees until the cheese is bubbling and the edges seem crispy. You can also use whole wheat pita's and slice them in half. We call them english muffin pizza's or pita pizza's.
Helloo,
I hear ya, you cant go wrong with this chicken stew, Check out this recipe online at http://www.myfirstcookbook.org/page14.ht...
It has a picture menu too, its awesome and Iam sure it is very different way to add chicken to your daily food.
Try this, season some chicken breasts, (put rosemary!) make some salad with tomato, lettuce, parsley, green onions, cucumbers, salt, lemon, and olive oil. And if you want dessert, just get yoplait vanilla yogurt.
This is my family's favorite one dish meal - mine too, since it is so easy to put together! I use skinless, boneless chicken breasts but mixed chicken pieces can be used, too.

1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of celery soup

It is a quick and tasty meal!! You may need to double the recipe to feed six people!
I use Parmesan flavored sauce, if you like you can add parmesan to your plate.
Pecan crusted chicken
Use boneless chicken breasts and coat the outside of the chicken with a bit of mayonnaise and dijon mustard. Dip each piece of chicken in finely ground pecan nuts (you can buy at store or put pecans in a blender) mixed with some bread crumbs.
Bake at 350 degrees for 20 -25 minutes in a baking pan with vegetable oil.
Serve with apricot preserves mixed with a bit of soy sauce and dash of ginger. Heat the preserves in a pan and serve warm over the chicken.
Broiled Chicken, Salt, Pepper, Oregano, Garlic Salt and Lemon. Then I would have Baked Sweet Potato, and a salad.
