Basil Chicken Recipes

Yummy!

My husbands favorite new burgers! So delicious, no one will know they are good for you!

I serve this with 1/2 cup of rice or pasta with basil pesto .
Makes 4 servings of 1 breast each.

Low-fat, low-carb and high in protein.

Traditional Thai dish lightened up a bit but still packed with flavor , I like to serve on a bed of finely shredded cabbage for a change from rice

Homemade Pizza

Just a little twist on a traditional dish. Using sesame oil instead of vegetable or canola and brown rice instead of jasmine long grain.

This is a great recipe to use when you find a great deal on a rotisserie chicken, or have some leftover chicken breasts in the fridge. With less than 300 calories per half cup and only 3 grams of carbs, this is a great recipe to get in that extra protein you need for the day. You can reduce the calories even further by using low fat mayo and light sour cream. Hope you enjoy!

such a great sandwich in the summer when your ingredients are fresh. also a great use for left-over grilled chicken.

One pot dinner.

Grilled Basil, Garlic, and Parmesan Chicken

A great variety of flavors, colors and textures. Makes a nice meal for family or friends. The chicken can be excluded for a vegetarian dish.

Not truly home made...but yummy!!! Calorie info may not be quite that high per serving as you generally have sauce left over in the dish.

This is also great if you do 1/2 chicken and 1/2 shrimp. Green Beans are awesome in this dish and I don't even care for them normally! Makes a great one pot dish, better than take out! This is a double recipe and freezes well - I make some for dinner and freeze the rest into lunch or dinner sized portions and reheat in microwave once thawed. YUM!

You'll forget you're eating a lean meal when you taste these Basil and Garlic Stuffed Chicken Breasts. At only 225 calories per serving and 30 grams of protein, it's a low-calorie meal that will keep you full.

You can also add some roasted red peppers or sun dried tomatoes to the stuffing mixture. This dish goes great with asparagus, broccoli or green beans cooked in lemon and pepper.

Makes 5 (1 cup) servings

This is a Southern Living Recipe (from the magazine and website). It is very easy and quite tasty. I listed it so I could calculate the calories and share the recipe with a friend. The original recipe calls for pork, but the 'options' for pork chops as an ingredient were so confusing I listed chicken instead (instructions for both included). (The picture is of the pork)

Toss with chicken and pasta, or use as a sandwich spread

Adapted from Cooking Light Spicy Thai Basil Chicken. Quick and easy weeknight dinner!

Yummy, creamy sauce - perfect served over pasta! The flavors of basil and garlic really come through-the fresh basil makes this recipe.
