So I have an easy Chicken Recipe that is very versatile.  It can be eaten plain with veggies and such as a meal or you can shred it and put it in salads, on sandwiches, or in a quesadillas. I like to use this chicken or a rotisserie one and shred it (3 oz cooked), put it on a low-carb tortilla (La Tortilla Factory), add some low carb BBQ sauce (I like Stubs- 7g of carbs or less per 2 Tbsp), add some low-fat cheese and melt in the microwave.  It is very filling.

Simple Grilled Chicken
4 (4 oz) trimmed boneless, skinless chicken breast
Olive oil in sprayer (not-store bought spray)
2 tsp salt-free garlic and herb seasoning (Mrs. Dash)- I like to use lemon pepper seasoning
Salt to taste

Preheat grill to high heat.  Lightly mist the chicken breast with olive oil.  Rub the seasoning all over each breast and lightly season with salt.  Grill for 3 to 5 minutes per side, or until the chicken is no longer pink and juices run clear.  Serve immediately or store in an airtight plastic container in the fridge for up to 3 days.

It is important to use salt-free seasonings and add our own salt sparingly if needed.  Too much salt interferes with our weight loss.  Also, buy a food grade spray bottle and put some olive oil (first cold press is best) in it.  Use it as you would Pam.  This way you are not getting the propellants that are in things like Pam and with spraying instead of dumping you are saving yourself a ton of calories.
