I feel your pain, Missy!

I like to throw some chicken breasts into a Ziplock bag with a marinade in the morning and then broil them or cook them on my George Foreman grill for dinner. I will try anything. Here are some things I've used:

Lemon juice with Splenda and pepper.

Chopped garlic, ground ginger and lite soy sauce

Teriyaki sauce (most of the storebought ones have a lot of sugar--you can make your own with soy sauce, white wine and Splenda)

Salsa

Chopped tomatoes and Italian seasonings (oregano, basil, garlic, etc.)

Curry powder mixed into a little plain yogurt with a dash of vinegar

Mustard, Splenda, and white wine or vinegar

Raspberry vinegar and some fresh herbs (my personal favorite)


Also, a lot of these same marinade treatments will work with fish.

Another idea is to make something yummy to put on top of your chicken or fish, like a fresh mango salsa.

Good luck!

Sue
