Weight Loss: Abs Diet Chicken Recipes  

Spend 30 minutes making chicken breasts on Sunday, and you can have lean protein for lunch or dinner all week. Add diced cold chicken to salads or make sandwiches or entrées with the whole breasts by zapping them in the microwave. To boost the flavor, marinate them with one of the choices below.

 

• 1 tablespoon bourbon, 1 teaspoon grainy mustard per breast

• 1 teaspoon lemon juice, 1/8 teaspoon powdered garlic, and 1/8 teaspoon thyme per breast

• 2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar, 1 teaspoon olive oil, 1/8 teaspoon rosemary per breast

• 1 teaspoon hot sauce, 1 teaspoon honey, 1 teaspoon orange juice per breast

• 1 tablespoon low-fat yogurt, 1/8 teaspoon dill per breast

• 1 teaspoon low-sodium soy sauce, 2 teaspoons pineapple juice, 1 dash cayenne pepper per breast

• 2 teaspoons red wine, 1 teaspoon barbecue sauce, 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder per breast

 

Mix marinade ingredients in a zip-top plastic bag. Add chicken and let it marinate for 30 minutes. Drop marinated breasts onto a hot grill pan and sear for 2 to 3 minutes per side. Let them cool, then place in individual zip-top bags and refrigerate for up to 5 days.
