Grilled Chicken
Grilling chicken instead of frying helps cut down on fat and calories! With this particular recipe, be sure to select a low-sodium sauce and watch how much you add. Sodium is linked to heart-health challenges, such as high blood pressure. Therefore, it is important to keep the sauce amount to a minimum and rely on the beef, chicken or fish for flavor.
Ingredients:
- ½ cup low-sodium soy sauce
- ¼ cup low-sodium teriyaki sauce
- 1/8 tsp. salt
- 1/8 tsp. black pepper
- 1/8 tsp. red pepper
- 1 tbsp. garlic (minced)
- 3 tbsp. olive oil
- 3 tbsp. Italian dressing
- 3 whole, boneless skinless chicken breasts
Method:
Marinate chicken breasts for at least 8 hours, turning so both sides marinate at least 4 hours. Place on hot grill for 10 minutes each side. Serve.
