I don't cook so need something super easy that i can throw on the griddle....I have bought rubs and they are okay. Any easy recipes for chicken that I can just grill?

Thanks!

My favorite recipe for grilled chicken is Greek chicken.< /p>

There is a marinade that you use that makes the chicken juicy and delicious on the grill.

You can find the recipe on line by googling Greek chicken. I use the boneless, skinless breast.

The marinade has olive oil, lemon juice, fresh garlic, fresh oregano, salt and pepper. You put the marinade in a plastic bag with the chicken breasts for about an hour or more if you like and then just grill them til done.

Yum!

Are you asking for chicken recipes that you do on an actual grill? I don't have any for that since I guess that is more just rubs and things, not actual recipes.< /p>

But, if you want chicken recipes in general...

Chicken Marsala

The recipe is actually on the Marsala wine bottle. I usually double the liquid.

4 chicken cutlets (I don't always follow how much, just fill up the pan with flattened out chicken)

2 tbsp butter

2 cups mushrooms, sliced

1 1/2 cups Marsala wine

1/2 cup Water

2 tbsp fresh parsley chopped

1/2 tsp rosemary (optional)

Pound the chicken so it is thin.

The recipe calls for you to dredge the chicken in flour but sometimes I don't do that and it comes out the same way.

In a large skillet, melt butter and saute mushrooms over medium heat until browned, 10 minutes.

Remove and set aside.

Add chicken (sometimes I add a bit of olive oil if the pan seems to be a bit dry). Cook through, probably about 4 minutes on each side if it is thin.

Remove to serving platter.

Return mushrooms to pan and stir in Marsala wine and Water, parsley and rosemary.

Sometimes I thicken it up a little bit by using a mixture of corn starch and water in a little cup and pour in slowly while stirring, depends on how you like the sauce. Don't make it too thick. It should be pourable

I then add the chicken back into the pan to get it warmed up again and mixed in with the juices.

Put on a platter and serve.

MMmmmm!!

Chicken Stir Fry

A couple of chicken breasts, cut up into cubes

A bag of stir fry vegetables (or you can cut up your own veggies)

Add some olive oil to a pan and heat up

Add chicken and cook mostly through

Add veggies and cook everything through

Because I'm not good with stir frying, my pan tends to get dried up so I add some low fat, low sodium chicken broth to the mixture which adds some liquid into the pan but also adds some really great flavor

Serve and enjoy!

I have more but I don't know if this is what you were looking for so I'll stop here!

Best of luck!

Mix up a blend of 2 parts onion powder, 1 parts garlic powder, a dash of pepper, 2 dashes of salt, and a small handful of parsley. Rub down your pieces of chicken with this mixture, coat it beyond what you think might be reasonable and throw them on the griddle. It's super easy, super quick, and better than anything you can buy in the store.

You can make up a LOT of this mix and store it in an airtight container for later use - you'll go through a lot of it.

I also have a bunch of recipes here:

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.
