Lets talk chicken!
I like to cook things that are RNY friendly so I can enjoy, and the rest of the family are glad to partake as well!!!!
Anyone have any chicken recipes to share, cooking techniques etc??? I need to spice up my kitchen a bit.
Thanks for any ideas!

I did something very simple with chicken for this week and it is really tasty
I bought Mrs. Dash Southwest Chipolte Seasoning and just sprinkled that on both sides of the chicken and bake it until done - to keep it moist I put foil over the dish.
I am having it for lunches and I brought some sprinkle cheese to melt on it and have some greek yogurt mixed with salsa to keep even extra moist.
Linda has a recipe on her website for orange chicken and that is freaking awesome. She posts on here so you should be able to find her fairly easily
boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 cup fat free sour cream
1/2 can healthy heart campbells cream of mushroom soup (the one w/ 2g fat)
onion soup mix to taste
put chicken in crockpot and cover with cream of mushroom soup and onion mix.
cook on low for 6-7 hours; when you have one hour left add sour cream and stir.
wicked good recipe. i tend to add a little extra onion mix as I really like the flavor.
Last night was something I threw together.
Chicken
1 can homey
1 can black beans
1 lg can green enchilada sauce
1 can chopped chili's
LOTS of cumin
saute some onion, garlic, carrots, celery in some olive oil. Put the rest into the pot and let it simmer till the chicken is cooked.
The family ate it with tortillas.
Tonight I made chicken curry.

Christine's Southwest Chicken
1 package frozen boneless, skinless chicken breasts (I think it was a 2lb bag)
1 can corn, drained (or frozen works too)
1 can black beans, drained/rinsed
1 jar salsa
1 brick cream cheese
In a large slow cooker, put the chicken in the bottom and top with salas, corn and beans. Don't bother stirring it, it'll take care of itself. Let it coook for 10 hours on low. About 30 minutes before serving place the brick of cream cheese on top and let it melt into the mixture.
My family will use the typical tortilla wraps for their fajita's.

It knows that it must run faster than the slowest gazelle, or it will starve.
It doesn't matter whether you're a lion or a gazelle
when the sun comes up you'd better be running.
