Default Re: easy, healthy recipe ideas

What sorts of sauce do you guys use for chicken, that is still "healthy"? Teriyaki? Soy sauce?

Basically for chicken I'm rotating three "recipes". I'll stick two breasts in the oven and mix with a bag of light Caesar salad mix. I'll do BBQ chicken in the oven, putting the barbecue sauce on about halfway through cooking. Finally I sometimes make chicken stir fry, basically cubing the chicken, cook it, put refrigerated veggies in, cook them, then throw some soy sauce on it and call it a meal.

Using low salt soy sauce, you can get a really decent combo out of that plus fresh garlic, lots of black pepper, and olive oil.

Also check out all the flavored vinegars out there, including rice vinegars. Rice vinegar is extremely low cal and can be very good. You can also spice up whatever type you get. All it takes is playing around with a 15-25 buck spice rack to make plenty of really ordinary stuff pretty interesting, and make you curious to try out more experiments.
