4. My husband is on a low-sodium diet and this is what I do... I get boneless, skinless chicken breasts and use pam in a frying pan (I like the olive oil spray one). I brown each side for about 5-7 minutes each. I add in onions and green peppers and sometimes red peppers. I add about 2 cups of water and cover the pan with a lid. Turn it on low-medium for about 20 minutes. (I season the chicken before I fry it, with all Mrs. Dash, onion or garlic powders, etc...). Since you are on a low carb, you may not want to serve it with rice or pasta - it will work on its own. This is great because it isn't dried out, nice and moist with a good flavor. Leftovers are great for salads the next day. Very easy.
5. i like to thinly slice chicken breast and saute it with olive oil and onion..a little soy sauce and add veggies with a little garlic salt. and serve on white rice. its really easy and i have been losing weight. another thing i have been eating is, fresh chopped strawberries with a dash of sugar, mix well. add some dannon low fat vanilla yogurt..mix well and its almost like eating strawberries with cream, with bare naked granola...its sooo good. just a tip!!
