Answers:
Okay as far as the sodium part!.

Only buy the Tyson breasts!. Look at the bottom on the nutrition info!. Some bonless skinless breasts are 180 mg of sodium per 4 oz portion, and some go clear down to 40 mg per 4 oz!. The package doesn;t look any different you just have to look when you buy it!.

Melt some no-salt butter in a pan, add some chopped garlic, and fresh lemon juice!. Drizzle over the breasts and bake at 350 for about 45 min or so!.

Look for Sue Bee b-b-q sauce!. It is lower sodium and pretty tasty, marinate the chicken in the b-b-q for around an hour or more then bake or grill if you have the weather for it!. Then add wigth a little more b-b-q sauce to serve!.

Marinate the chicken in zesty italian dressing and bake, pan fry, or b-b-q for juicy yummy chicken!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

This particular recipe is VERY TASTY and VERY EASY, but not all that healthy!.!.!.

Boneless Skinless Breasts
1 Jar favorite Spaghetti sauce
Shredded cheese (I usually use Jack)

Brown breasts in skillet using a small amout of olive oil!. They don't need to be "too done" because you're going to bake them afterwards!. I usually sprinkle a little seasoning on them as they are browning over a low to medium flame!. Typically for about 10 to 15 minutes!.

Put the breasts in a 9x13 glass cassarole container and pour the spaghetti sauce over the top and sprinkle with grated cheese (you can also add mushrooms, diced onions or whatever else your family enjoys) and then bake for 35 to 40 minutes at 325 degrees!.

Another good thing that I sometimes do with boneless skinless breasts is to put them in a glass cassarole, sprinkle with some lemon pepper and a garlic salt, and garnish tops with thin slices of lemon!. Then add about 1/4 cup of water with some lemon juice into the cassarole container and bake at 325 for about 40 minutes (or until chicken is done)!.!.!.this is easy and the breasts are usually very tender, moist and have a nice lemon-y zest to them!Www@FoodAQ@Com

You can do LOTS with boneless chicken breast!.!.!. you can bread them, dredge in flour, then in scrambled raw egg or egg whites, then in bread crumbs of your choice, fry til golden and bake in oven,

or you could cut into bite size pieces and place in the bottom of a baking dish, season with italian seasoning and cover with 8 oz shredded mozzerella cheese, in a seperate bowl mix one box chicken stuffing mix with one can petite diced tomatoes including the juice and one cup of water and microwave til absorbed and warmed through!. cover chicken and cheese with stuffing mixture and then top with additional cheese!. Bake at 350 for 1/2 hour!. this is one of my favorites from Kraft foods website!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Oven chicken fingers! Husbands and tots love to eat with thier hands
OVEN-FRIED CHICKEN FINGERS

Start to finish: 20 minutes

Cook's note: Any brand of buttery-type crackers or plain crackers can be used, such as Ritz or Townhouse!.

2 cups butter-flavored cracker crumbs (about 40 crackers; 4 ounces), see Cook's note

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1/4 cup reduced-fat mayonnaise

1 tablespoon skim or low-fat milk

1 1/3 to 1 1/2 pounds chicken breast tenders, defrosted if frozen

Cooking oil spray

Barbecue sauce, honey mustard or ranch dressing, for dipping; optional

The oven should be preheated to 450 F!.

Place the crackers, garlic powder and black pepper in a gallon- size zipper-top plastic bag!. Use a rolling pin or sturdy drinking glass to crush the crackers to make fine crumbs!. Set aside!.

Mix the mayonnaise and milk in a medium-size mixing bowl!. Add the chicken tenders to the bowl and stir until the tenders are evenly coated with the mayonnaise mixture!.

Spray an 11-by-17-inch baking sheet (jelly roll pan) with cooking oil spray!. Add about 1/3 of the chicken tenders at a time to the bag with the crumbs, seal the bag and shake to coat the tenders with crumbs!. Remove the tenders from the bag and place them on the baking sheet!. Repeat until all of the chicken is coated with crumbs!.

Bake the chicken, uncovered, until it is lightly browned and cooked through, about 15 minutes!. Use a metal spatula to remove the chicken from the baking sheet and serve at once, with sauces for dipping if desired!.

Serves 4!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Butterfly the chicken breasts and lightly season them with a teeny bit of salt, some pepper, and garlic and onion powder (hardly any!. Just enough to give it a little flavor) and bake it at 375 degrees long enough for it to be cooked (don't overcook it because it'll be really dry)!. You'll know it's done when you cut into it that you see NO pink and that the juices run clear (this is imperative, otherwise they could get sick if there are germs in the chicken)!. Then make a bunch of tasty vegetables with it (mmm :D I like zucchini a lot) and serve!

If you want, you can make a nice dipping sauce for it too!. Something light would work nicely, like an unsalted compound butter!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

3 skinless chicken breasts
2/3 cup Bisquick
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 tsp!. garlic salt ( I use a combo of garlic and salt)
1/2 tsp!. paprika (so slight your toddler won't even notice, or omit)
1egg slightly beaten
3 Tbs melted butter

Heat oven 450 degrees, foil line a baking sheet!. Cut breasts into length wise strips!. Coat with egg, dredge into Bisquick mix!. Lay strips on baking sheet, drizzle melted butter over strips!. Bake for 12-14 minutes flipping strips halfway through!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Your toddler will like strips best (like chicken nuggets); so cut the breasts into strips!. Then wash them and dip in a lightly beaten egg; toss into a plastic bag with seasoned bread crumbs and some herbs, salt & pepper (or Mrs!. Dash)!. Shake the bag up and take out the chicken strips!. Put on a foil-lined baking pan (spray with Pam) and bake at 375 for about 30-45 min; turning over a few timesWww@FoodAQ@Com

Just bake them like normal but Mrs!. Dash makes excellent salt free seasonings!. I love it when my mom puts it on my chicken, my favorite on chicken is the lemon pepper!

Its very inexpensive and flavors the chicken more!Www@FoodAQ@Com
