I need a healthy recipe for chicken breast..

Using boneless skinless chicken breasts. Have been dieting but a person can only take so much baked chicken with some slap ya mama and garlic powder.
Does anyone have anything somewhat creative to jazz things up? Would be greatly appreciated.

I mean...its a chicken breast
grilling...baking...unless you try different marinades or make a sauce, you are not going to get more flavor out of it

Grilling it tastes way better to me.

Google company chicken. There's a recipe that came with our crock pot that was solid and easy. I'm not sure how healthy it is but it's certainly not unhealthy

I make this on occasion, it does have a lot of olive oil, but overall it is healthy. I usually make some whole wheat noodles and put the chicken breast and accompanying juices over it.
Ina Garten Lemon chicken
Ingredients
1/4 cup good olive oil
3 tablespoons minced garlic (9 cloves)
1/3 cup dry white wine
1 tablespoon grated lemon zest (2 lemons)
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 1/2 teaspoons dried oregano
1 teaspoon minced fresh thyme leaves
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 boneless chicken breasts, skin on (6 to 8 ounces each)
1 lemon
Directions
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Warm the olive oil in a small saucepan over medium-low heat, add the garlic, and cook for just 1 minute but don't allow the garlic to turn brown. Off the heat, add the white wine, lemon zest, lemon juice, oregano, thyme, and 1 teaspoon salt and pour into a 9 by 12-inch baking dish.
Pat the chicken breasts dry and place them skin side up over the sauce. Brush the chicken breasts with olive oil and sprinkle them liberally with salt and pepper. Cut the lemon in 8 wedges and tuck it among the pieces of chicken.
Bake for 30 to 40 minutes, depending on the size of the chicken breasts, until the chicken is done and the skin is lightly browned. If the chicken isn't browned enough, put it under the broiler for 2 minutes. Cover the pan tightly with aluminum foil and allow to rest for 10 minutes. Sprinkle with salt and serve hot with the pan juices.

Look up slow cooker recipes too. Also, try thighs instead for more flavor.

Smoke them. Marinate in lemon juice, apple juice, garlic, etc before and smoke at a relatively low temp - 225. I'll spray some apple juice on them a few times during the smoke. My smoker has a water pan over the wood box and this helps to keep moist.
Comes out flavorful and moist and freezes well. We eat as is or in salads, sandwiches, pizza.

You can brown the chicken breasts in a skillet and add any combination of things you like. I like:
onions and peppers
Curry
Chicken spaghetti - if you use whole wheat pasta, it's very healthy
Mushrooms
Onions and chutney
Try using those McCormick marinating packets.. (I like the Mesquite marinade)
Add your cooked chicken breasts to spinach salad and add feta cheese.
Add the chicken breasts to green salad.

Bread it and fry it in olive oil.

Cut the chicken breasts into strips, and marinade in your favorite mexican spices. Grill with onions and bell peppers, put on tortilla. Quick, easy, healthy, cheap. I do it all the time. If you want all the toppings you can add that too, but if you are looking for healthy then I would skip out on most of them.

cook the chicken, then cut up, put in a lettuce wrap, add a pineapple salsa(whole food has a simple recipe). Make a guac to add on top if you desire

Make a simple blackened seasoning, marinate, and then blacken them on a cast iron, throw in it the oven on 300 for a few minutes. Done.

Use thighs instead of breasts, there is a very negligible difference in the nutrients and the taste is EXPONENTIALLY better.
Seriously, use thighs.

Grill the chicken, top with avocado, wrap in lettuce.
