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:

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
