Preferably something low in fat and with chicken as it is the only meat I eat. Any help would be awesome..I am getting tired of the same thing day in and day out. Oh yeah, no spice for me either just garlic and pepper. No salt either :)

    How about cutting the chicken onto strips, dipping in flour, then egg whites then in a mixture of italian seasonings, breadcrumbs and parmesan or romano cheese. Put them on cookie sheet sprayed with nonstick spray, then spray the tops of the strips bake at 400 for 20min. turning once, and use your favorite marinara sauce for dipping. You could have whole wheat pasta on the side. I'm not good writing out recipes but you could find a recipe for this that would be easier to read, I'm sure!
    Good Luck!

    If you don't mind me asking, why no spice? Salt I understand but spice? (most) spices are good for you and sometimes can can help you with your weight loss.

    - Cook and slice chicken and serve over salad
    - Chicken Fajitas (do you like lime? Just marinate chicken in olive oil, lime and pepper then BBQ with bell pepper and onion)
    - Chicken Stir Fry (they have stir fry veggies ready chopped at the store, or you can buy your own. If you like, use low sodium soy sauce, but you can just stir fry in olive oil, pepper and garlic.)

    Chicken stir fry.
    you need,

    chicken breast (cubed into about 1 inch cubes)

    pea pods, shredded broccoli, shredded carrots, bean sprouts,
    unsalted peanuts, mushrooms, bamboo shoots, water chestnuts,
    peppers, onions. All shredded or sliced
    (obviously, all of these veggies are optional depending on what you like)

    a HALF tablespoon of lite soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil
    dice up some garlic (I use LOTS of garlic), and a little bit of hot pepper or
    italian spices if you like them.

    Throw the chicken and oil in the wok until cooked, then throw everything else in with
    the heat on high and stir vigorously for about 5 to 8 minutes (depending on how much you make).

    delicious, low cal, has just about every macronutrient you need all in one easy to make dish.

    total cooking time (including preparation...15 to 20 minutes.)
