Here are a few ideas to get you startedstarted - Roast chiken breasts with veggies for an easy weeknight dinner. Simply season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme and rosemary then roast for about 30 minutes at 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Put together a soup with leftover bones from your Sunday roast dinner. Cover them with water and add some carrots, celery, onion, bay leaves, thyme sprigs or oregano leaves and some black peppercorns or cumin seeds.
Bring it all to a boil then simmer on low heat for 2 hours before straining the liquid into another pot; skim off any foam that may have formed on top of the liquid.

Serve with croutons if desired or over rice!

TAKE ADVANTAGE OF PREPARED CHICKEN PRODUCTS
Whether you're short on time or just don't feel like cooking, there are plenty of delicious chicken dishes you can make with prepared chicken products.
Just pick up a rotisserie chicken from your local grocery store, or some frozen chicken breasts, and you're well on your way to a delicious meal.
If you want to avoid the sodium in canned soups, opt for fresh broth instead. In the mood for Mexican? Put together your favorite fajita recipe using flour tortillas and sliced veggies as an alternative to fried tortillas.
You could also use salsa as a healthy sauce instead of heavy cream. For Italian lovers, try making chicken parmesan by coating cutlets in breadcrumbs and frying them in olive oil before putting them under the broiler for about five minutes per side. It doesn't get much easier than that!
And if you find yourself without any leftovers at all, no worries - packaged cooked chicken is usually pretty inexpensive at most grocery stores. Simply look for cooked chicken, then head over to the salad bar and pile it high with lettuce, tomato, cucumber and onion. Add some chopped boiled eggs (or hard-boiled eggs) if you want to give it a little more protein.
Drizzle a few tablespoons of ranch dressing over top (or balsamic vinaigrette) and voila! You've got yourself a tasty lunch or dinner dish. When you need a quick option that's easy to make and even better to eat, go for this satisfying dish. Best of all, it'll only cost you about six dollars.
So here's my answer: Chikin' out means avoiding processed foods such as white breads and pastas; opting for healthier sources of carbohydrates such as brown rice, whole wheat pasta and oatmeal; using leaner meats; eating lots of fruits and vegetables; cutting back on sugar; drinking lots of water; and taking omega 3 supplements.
