Cooking chicken on the stovetop can be tricky, and if the breasts are too thick, they may not cook through. Your best bet is to use quick-cooking chicken tenders, or you can use a mallet to pound the same amount of chicken breasts to an even 1-inch thickness. Complete your plate: Pair this protein entrée with a double serving of Collard Greens with Yellow Squash and half of a roasted sweet potato.
Cucumber Onion Salad is a refreshing variation from the classic tossed salad. Crisp fresh cucumbers are tossed with sweet onion and lightly coated with a delicious sweet-tart vinaigrette made with Splenda® Granulated Sweetener instead of sugar. Enjoy this low carbohydrate, low calorie dish with a main entrée or as a healthy snack.
Fruit is full of antioxidants, vitamins and fiber. If you want to take this on a road trip - pack fruit in small, individual plastic containers and keep in a cooler.
Frozen bananas are the surprising base for this creamy, soft-serve "ice cream." It's dairy-free and vegan, low in saturated fat, made with no added sugars, and still totally delicious!
