    I boil it with mustard, yeah a lot of sodium I know but it tastes very good! onion, garlic and mustard! I'm still eating red meat, I can't eat it all the time, but I try to eat it 2 or 3 max times a week. Just the lean cuts. good luck!

    You can do lemon pepper chicken, you can wrap your chicken with lean bacon, put your chicken in a crock-pot with veggies & a low sodium broth. You can also bake it to where it will be like fried chicken. (link below)

    I just made the salsa chicken recipe from allrecipes.com. So simple and really tasty.

    4 chicken breast, sprinkle with taco seasoning, top with salsa and bake in the oven for 35 minutes or until juices run clear. Then I topped it with a bit of mozzarella cheese and put it back in the oven for a few minutes. You can top it with a dollop of sour cream at the end too.

    I slice mine and throw it in a skillet with olive oil, bell pepps, onion, and garlic. Sometimes I eat it alone, sometimes I wrap it in a tortilla, other times I place it on top of pasta with a light marinera. :)

    My family and friends go crazy for this new one I'm doing on the grill. Marinate boneless skinless chicken breasts in:

    1c soy sauce (I actually use Tamari because I'm gluten free)
    1/4 c olive oil
    1/4 c lime juice
    1/4 c honey
    lots and lots of chopped garlic

    Don't marinate for more than an hour, as the lime juice will start to "cook" the chicken.

    I will buy the yummiest store bought brucchetta (Caesars I think)

    I bake my chicken with just a little olive oil drizzled (salt and pepper)
    cooke 3/4 of the way
    Remove and add bruchetta to cover the tops
    finish baking
    DELISH and easy
    Add a little sprinkle of parm cheese on top.

    One of my favorites is not the lowest in calories, but very delicious and kid-friendly.

    From bettycrocker.com...

    Oven Fried Chicken Tenders

    1/4 cup All Purpose Flour
    1 egg
    1 tablespoon Water
    1 cup plain or Italian style panko crispy bread crumbs (I use plain)
    1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
    1 package (or 1 1/4 lb chicken breast tenders)...I just slice up chicken breasts

    Heat oven to 425 degrees F. Line cookie sheet with foil and spray to prevent sticking
    Place flour in a shallow dish. Beat Egg and Water together in another shallow dish. Mix bread crumbs and cheese in a third dish. Coat chicken with flour, dip into egg mix, and then coat with bread crumb/cheese mix.
    Bake 15-20 minutes, turning once until chicken is cooked through.
    Recipe makes 4 servings.

    1 serving is 330 calories. Much better tasting than processed chicken tenders from a bag!

    Thanks guys! Just what I needed to get started. I really have great recipes for shrimp and pork, my chicken was just always bland and always the same. Thanks for the great websites and ideas. Looking forward to trying :)

    I would eat some lean beef or fish. Both are healthy choices that are not chicken. But if you have to eat chicken try a healthy fajita...use whole grain tortilla, plain greek yogurt mixed with shredded lettuce (so you dont need sour cream) and salsa and balck beans. YUM :smile:

    I was thinking the same thing. Sometimes I feel like the only one on MFP that doesn't eat chicken every day. I don't even eat it every week.
