Looking for a low calorie, low fat chicken marinade.

    I use raspberry vinaigrette sometimes or I mix up low sodium soy sauce with some mirin and toasted sesame oil. Either way I usually slice the chicken into strips after it is cooked and serve it on a spinach salad with some orange slices.

    I make a low cal buffalo marinade:
    1 tsp cayenne
    1/2 tsp celery seeds
    Garlic powder or 2 cloves of garlic minced
    2 Tbsp apple cider vinegar (I'm sure regular is fine too)
    Salt opt
    Olive oil opt

    I use this on chicken drumsticks for my son and he likes it without added salt or oil just fine
    I also use it for chicken breast that I freeze for my husbands lunches.

    Low fat Italian dressing is always easy and yummy.

    I also make a good one, but don't know how good/bad it is. Olive oil, soy sauce, minced garlic, diced onion, ginger, red pepper flakes, lemon juice, honey. Mmm, great on the grill or pan seared.

    Allegro meat marinade. Any of the McCormick's grill mates work great too.

    "Greek-style"

    1.5 TBS Olive Oil
    1 tsp minced garlic
    2 tsp dried oregano
    1/4 tsp sea salt
    1/2 tsp ground black pepper
    1 TBS lemon zest

    Covers 1 lb chicken easily.

    Another thing I like to do is pan sear chicken breast, then brush on dijon mustard and a little dried thyme. Afterward, roast in the oven at 425 for about 10-15 minutes.
