I normally buy chicken thighs, but trying to eat healthier and lose some weight so picked up breasts instead today. Any wonderful, fabulous chicken breast recipes (boneless, skinless) you would like to share?

I usually buy thighs too but when I use breasts I like to bake them in a dijon sauce (or just saute them and then make a quick dijon pan sauce). I also like using it in Skinny Taste's Crock Pot Santa Fe Chicken.
And sometimes I slice it thin, saute it and toss it with peanut sauce, green beans and pasta. Or pound it thin and make chicken piccata (I loosely use ST's recipe for this, too). Or saute it on the stove and let it hang out in a lemon sauce for a bit.

If I'm feeling lazy (like today), I just dump a bunch of BBQ sauce on them and bake on the over. So easy!

I usually buy thighs too because I hate, hate, hate how dry chicken breasts can be! But this recipe, adapted from America's Test Kitchen (my fave!) is pretty fool-proof, mostly hands-off, but most importantly, SOOOO moist. (And I substitute olive oil for the butter to make it a little healthier.)

I chop it and cook in a pan. Then put in a casserole dish with chopped broccoli, potato, shredded cheese and cream of mushroom soup. Foil and bake. Tried and true.

@Zbug: My lazy one is the same, or instead of BBQ I use oily ceasar salad dressing.
Our go-to lately is to coat the breast lightly in mayo, then cover them with panko breadcrumbs mixed with Emeril's essense seasoning to taste. Then, just bake on a cookie sheet. The chicken stays moist and the outside stays crispy. I think I have shared this a million times on here by now, but I really swear by it.

That's mostly all we eat! Whatever you do, marinate them! We're a marinate and grill kind of family. It keeps them from drying out. After all, what's the point in eating chicken breasts, a super lean meat, if you slather them in high calorie sauce? I also will cover them with foil if i do bake them.
