Hi all, has anyone got any good recipes for a chicken sauce a healthy one of course, sometimes I like to cook skinless chicken and just dip it in something but am running out of sauces or even a marinade to make it less plain?

    You can marinate chicken breast in almost any italian or balsalmic dressing. Score the chicken about 1/4 inch deep in a criss-cross pattern with a knife so the dressing penetrates, and let it sit overnight.

    When you cook it, use a food thermometer to make sure you're nailing the internal temp and not drying it out.

    I make my own honey mustard marinade. Dijon mustard mixed with honey, marinate and bake.

    oooh that sounds really good

    I make home made sesame chicken. Or I throw a little pepper, salt and garlic powder on a chicken breast and bake it.
