I am tired of plain chicken and green beans with brown rice for lunch. I love dipping in honey mustard or BBQ sauce but they have alot of sugar that I could do without! What does everyone marinate or dip their chicken breast in?

    Lemon mustard, mustard powder mixed with water, fresh squeezed lemon mixed in, salt, paprika and coconut sugar. I add mustard seeds as well. Soooo good

    I usually just mix bbq sauce with mustard. I get the carolina style but it is not mustardy enough for me. I don't have any reason to avoid sugar though.

    One of my favorite dipping sauces is roasted red pepper.

    Drain a jar of already roasted red pepper and heat the peppers through in a small saucepan. Dump it in a blender and blend for a minute or so. Pour in about 4 oz olive oil with the blender on. Follow that with juice from half a lemon. Pour the mixture back in the pan and reduce until it has a thickness you like. Add some salt and pepper--i use white pepper. This sauce is great on chichen, seafood, and lots of other stuff. I pour the finished sauce back in the jar from the peppers and keep it in the frig.

    I like to bake chicken with Parmesan cheese and grilled mushrooms on top. Or the spice “Montreal chicken.” Yummy.

    The G Hughes Teriyaki Marinade has been my lifesaver for chicken, steak, salmon, etc. He has a ton of low sugar, low calorie marinades that taste great (he even has a decent honey mustard if you wanna try that).

    I love Stubb's Pork Rub on Chicken breasts. jab some holes in the chicken and let marinate for an hour or longer in the fridge before cooking.

    I never get tired of chicken. Different cuisines are endlessly inventive. I have spices and staples on hand to whip up Thai, Indian, Korean, Ethiopian, French, Italian, Spanish, and Mexican dishes.

    The Gourmet Slow Cooker: Simple and Sophisticated Meals from Around the World is my favorite crockpot cookbook. Some of the prep can be labor intensive, and I often take shortcuts like using ground spices instead of grinding fresh.

    Also, all of the recipes I use take less time than a full work day to complete - I start at lunch and they are finished by dinner. Recipes with whole cuts of beef would work for someone who wanted to start before leaving for work.

    As this is a thread about lunches, someone could make a batch on the weekend and have leftovers for lunch.

    Soy sauce and lemon juice is what I dip most things in.

    I also bought a bunch of bacon spice. It makes everything taste like bacon, but its vegetarian. Really improves the heck out of my green beans.
