Default Re: easy, healthy recipe ideas

Incredibly easy buffalo style chicken breasts w/ veggies and/or sweet potato:

Marinate chicken breast in Italian Dressing overnight.
Grill chicken breast.
For the buffalo sauce, take one tablespoon of olive oil and combine with one tablespoon of Frank's Red Hot pepper sauce (or your preferred pepper sauce) and combine in small bowl.
Drizzle buffalo sauce over chicken breast.
Take one tablespoon of ranch or blue cheese dressing and add to bowl that had buffalo sauce in it. Stir to combine with residual buffalo sauce goodness for a spicy ranch or blue cheese dipping sauce.
Get frozen veggies in the microwavable bag. Heat per instructions.
If you are eating a sweet potato, poke it with a fork multiple times, wrap it in plastic wrap, and microwave it until soft (probably 4 to 5 minutes).
Slice up chicken breast, dip in ranch or blue cheese spicy sauce and enjoy!

I typically grill several chicken breasts at a time and refrigerate the leftovers for future meals.

For the calorie/fat conscious, use low fat or no fat Italian Dressing and ranch or blue cheese. Also, adding cinnamon and/or cayenne pepper to the sweet potato is a nice alternative to using butter. Fresh lemon juice is also a nice topping for the veggies, especially broccoli.
