My absolute favourite meal right now:
HONEY SOY CHICKEN & SALAD OPEN SANDWICH

boneless chicken breast
1 tablespoon honey
1-2 tablespoons soy sauce
fresh onion sliced (optional)
sliced capsicum (pepper)(optional)
lettuce
tomato
cucumber
grated carrot
any other fresh salad bits you like
lite balsamic vinegarette & lite ranch dressing (or your favourite)
1-2 slices of your fav multigrain bread
Optional: cream cheese, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, chopped nuts

Pop honey in microwave for 20-30 secs until melted, Add soy sauce and stir. Add sliced chicken breast. Heat a non stick pan - pop in the chicken mixture ... add onion and capsicum if you like. I sometimes toss in some frozen corn kernals too :-). Cook to your liking... if you cook longer rather than shorter the honey almost seems to caramalise. Toast bread and pop on plate. Spread with cream cheese if desired. Toss on lettuce, chopped tomato, cucumber, grated carrot and any other fresh veges/sprouts you have. Add a splash of vinegarette and dressing. Lightly sprinkle with seeds and nuts if desired... .pop your warm chicken mixture on top. ENJOY. This is really quite filling as it takes a while to eat :-) You can also substitute the chicken for marinated beef.
