    I like to shred my chicken add some low fat mayo, mustard, some cranberries and walnuts for a tasty and healthy chicken salad. It's about 230 cals for a serving. You can add it to greens or on toast for a sandwich.

    I have an awesome low calorie/low fat recipe. It is so easy and delicious!

    Ingredients:
    One pound of boneless/skinless chicken breasts
    One medium onion
    One 14.5 oz can of petite diced tomatoes (may include more if you'd like)
    One tablespoon diced garlic
    3/4 cup of lowfat balsamic vinegarette (I use Kraft's version)
    Lowfat finely shredded parmesan cheese

    Directions:
    Pre-heat oven to 450 degrees.

    Prep:(< 10 min)
    Cut onion into thin rings. Line the bottom of a 11x13 glass baking dish with the onions.
    Combine the tomatoes, garlic, and vinegarette in a small mixing bowl.
    Line the chicken breasts on top on the onion-lined baking dish.
    Pour the tomato/vinegarette mixture on top of the chicken breasts in the dish.
    Sprinkle desired amount of cheese over each chicken breast.

    Bake time:
    Bake at 450 degrees uncovered for 45 minutes. (Depending on the size of the chicken breasts, baking time may vary).

    This recipe is one of my favorites!! Enjoy

    For a simple lunch I like to make a sandwich from grilled or broiled chicken on whole grain bread, using mashed avocado in the place of mayonnaise.

    If you want to get fancy, add diced fresh tomato, a little minced onion and garlic, and a little bit of lemon juice to the avocado. (That's guacamole as I learned to make it nearly 40 years ago by watching the Sunday picnickers prepare it at the public lodge on Mount Popocatepetl, near Mexico City. That was the first time I ever saw an avocado)

    Avocado is great on ham sandwiches too, and seems to go especially well with whole wheat or whole grain.
