I use this lemon pepper spice for chicken & also for salmon. It has no calories, no sodium.0

chicken broth seasoned with what ever you like...oh and the fat free zesty italian salad dressing works good as a marinade or even tossed into pasta.0

I've discovered the Bragg line of products... organic Apple Cider Vinegar, Liquid Aminos, and Nutritional Yeast. http://bragg.com/products/acv.html More natural, less sodium. :bigsmile: I've found that most sauces and seasonings either have a ton of sodium, MSG, High fructose corn syrup, etc. I either make my own vinaigrette w/ olive oil and use the liquid aminos w/ the yeast to make a stir fry. Soy sauce is LOADED w/ sodium. BBQ sauces and ketchup have a ton of sugar. HTH!0

This doesn't really fall under "seasoning" but definitely under flavor. I like to take boneless, skinless chicken breasts and put them in a casserole dish with one finely diced onion and one finely diced red bell pepper. Add just enough chicken broth to cover (low sodium if you prefer - I use an organic product called Better Than Bouillon that comes in a jar and mix a spoon of it with hot water). Cover the dish with foil and bake at 325-350 for about an hour. Take it out and with 2 forks, shred the chicken and stir everything together. Recover with foil and return to oven for another 25-30 minutes. When you take it out there should only be a small bit of liquid left but tons of really moist, really flavorful chicken. You can eat it just as is or use in other dishes like enchiladas or casseroles.0

Various curry blends form the Indian and Asian groceries (have to really watch for sodium) and I'm using a lot of ginger and garlic paste from the mediterranean grocery these days . No sugar, no fat, very low sodium.
I'm also a garlic girl. In our house garlic is more a food group than a seasoning! Whole raw cloves rubbed on the inside of a soup or salad bowl, chopped, smashed, baked, broiled, dried . . . garlic powder--no fear of vampires in our neighborhood!0 -

I love garlic too!! The chili garlic paste is another favorite!!
Also, Mrs. Dash makes good salt free seasonings... lemon pepper, southwest, steak, chicken, etc.0 -
Thank you so much that sounds delicious....0
