1. Grilled Rosemary Chicken Breast Sage Chicken Breasts Low Fat Chicken Alfredo Chicken Salad Chicken BBQ Egg Beater Omelets with veggies and low fat cheeses Egg Beater Breakfast Burritos with whole wheat flour tortillas there are lots of sites on the web with endless low fat recipes....
2. Baked chicken breasts in garlic/tomato sauce 2-3 boneless chicken breast halves 1 small onion chopped 4 cloves garlic, chopped 1 15oz can diced tomatoes 2 tbsp chopped parsley 2 tsp oregano Sauté onion and garlic in olive oil; add tomatoes—do not drain—and herbs; pour over uncooked chi cken breasts, cover with aluminum foil and bake 30 minutes at 350 degrees.
3. Use chicken instead of beef. As white meat is always better than the red meat. U can cook him chicken porridge. Its a healthier choice. Chicken sandwiches? chicken omelete?
4. here it is........ Baked chicken (with pineapple chunks ) 1 chicken (1 kilo ) 1 cup pineapple chunks 2 tbsp. soy sauce 1/4 cup white sauce 1 tsp. msg ( if you want ) 1 tsp. salt Cut chicken into small pieces, Marinate in soy sauce, salt, sugar, and msg (if you want ). Let stand for 1/2 hour. Place in baking pan, pour in pineapple chunks and 1/2 cup of it's juice. Bake in oven with 350 degree fahrinheat for 45 minutes or until done. You may also steam-bake it in ordinary pan with a tight cover. Serve with spring onions or parsley as garnishing And Ground Beef... try this also; Tortand Carne ( Ground Beef Omelet) 1tbsp. oil 1 lb. ground beef or hamburger 2 cloves garlic, minced 1 medium onion, Diced 2 fresh tomatoes, chopped or 1/4 cup canned tomatoes 2 medium potatoes, pared and diced 1 tsp. minced parsley 1-1/2 tsp. salt Pepper to taste 1 cup water 1/4 tsp.sugar 4 eggs, beaten 3 tbsp. oil 1.

Place a plate on the omelet, turn skillet upside down so that it lands onto the plate cooked side up. 5. pour remaining oil in skillet and slide torta back into it uncooked side down. Cook 2 minutes more. Transfer to serving plate. Variation: Minced pork omelet--- Use 1 lb. ground pork in place of ground beef and proceed as above. Preparation time: 10 minutes Cooking time: 40 minutes Serve 4-6
5. wewll use ground turkey instead of ground beef less fat and cholesterol and taste the same but easier to season
6. You can use many of your own recipes, just cut back on the fat content, level of salt. Remove the skin from chicken and any visible fat. Remove fat from meats. Place under the grill in the oven instead of frying. Use a cooking oil that has the tick from the heart foundation. Eat more fresh fruit and vegetables. When I had to adjust my diet I was surprised at what I could still eat. All I had to do was adjust my cooking style a little. That doesn't mean you can't have fish n chips any more, just have them less often or make them yourself.
