Cajun_Dee Chicken is easy and fun. The big thing is to get the boneless skinless version. Tons of protein not much fat.
I make chicken parm by taking about 4 oz (which is not a complete breast BTW) dipping it in egg white and bread crumbs and a little parmesan. I heat up a cast iron fry pan with about a teaspoon of olive oil in it and drop it in there. I don't cook it over the stove, I put the whole mess in the oven at 350 for about 6 minutes per side. Crunchy exterior, minimal damage. Then I heat up some diced tomatoes add some basil and garlic and cook up some whole wheat spaghetti. The whole thing with a salad is about 400 calories for dinner.
Or I also throw it on the grill. About 6 minutes per side. I use that Cajunland lemon pepper seasoning on it.
Or cut it into about 1 inch cubes and saute it in a little olive oil with some salsa and put it in a tortilla. Throw some lettuce on that and a little more salsa and you've got tacos for about 350 calories.
