    You shouldn't be eating meat if you want to remain health. Watch the movie, "Forks Over Knives".

    I usually marinade it in something with a little oil, water, vinegar (cider, white, rice), mustard (usually Maille whole grain or dijon), salt, pepper, garlic (minced or powdered) and whatever spices I like, have on hand fresh or grab from the drawer.

    This is something I made last night that was VERY good though:

    Steam about a cup of chopped broccoli
    Grill a 4oz piece of chicken breast (This was half a breast for me. I used the George Foreman - no oil, no marinade)
    Chop up the chicken and mix with the broccoli
    Add grated parmesan, cracked black pepper, garlic powder and lemon juice and mix

    I grill a lot, so I have a lot of fun experimenting with different flavors/seasonings in marinades. This is my favorite one for chicken...comes out moist & delicious every time! Enjoy! :)

    - 1/3c olive oil
    - 2/3c reduced-sodium soy sauce
    - 1/4c lemon juice
    - 2 Tbsp. liquid smoke
    - 2 Tbsp. spicy brown or dijon mustard
    - 2 tsp. ground black or red pepper
    - 1 Tbsp. minced garlic (or garlic powder)
    - 1 Tbsp. honey (or brown sugar)

    ETA: A little of this goes quite a long way...it's enough for 5-6 medium sized chicken breasts.

    Although it adds sodium and calories, I find a salt and sugar rub overnight makes for more wonderful chicken.

    I love to mix Honey, Soy, Garlic, Ginger and Peanuts to chicken, goes down very nicely with brown rice, sweet potato, broccoli, spinach and beans :)

    yum! I'll have to try this!

    If you have a good nonstick pan, sauté about a cup or so of sliced mushrooms, bake chicken as you described, take out of the oven top with honey mustard (recipe follows) sautéed mushrooms, one slice of Pan cooked bacon (only about 20 calories if you only use one slice) and cover with 1 oz of Cabot 60 calorie sharp cheddar. Return to the oven and melt the cheese, it's a lighter version of Alice springs chicken from outback, and it's awesome.

    For honey mustard, mix 1/4c plain Greek dressing, 1 tbsp grey poupon Dijon mustard, and 1 tbsp honey.

    This is fantastic! I love Alice Springs Chicken and I haven't had it in ages because it's so calorie/fat heavy. Thanks for the idea!!

    Most of my ideas have already been talked out, but will follow this thread for yummy recipes.

    Mixing a little parmesan cheese and spices with greek yogurt and spreading it on chicken to bake is very tasty.

    Favorite marinade: lime margarita mix. Try soaking chicken in it overnight before baking. It's amazing, especially with a glob of salsa on top, and a sprinkle of cheese added in the last five minutes.
