Low fat healthy recipe ideas.

As you may or may not know, I eat a very low fat high quality diet combined with a lot of exercise. Now, I know what you're thinking "But, but, but ... fat and sugar taste good I can't live without them.". Of course, you're right it does taste good, but there are other alternatives. I ran a kitchen for many years when I was younger so I'm pretty good at cooking and I thought I'd share what I'm eating tonight. If anyone else is interested in other recipes, I'll gladly hook you up..

Chicken Catchatorie:

In a skillet over a high heat, satuee the following in no fat cooking spray:
1 Onion.
Chicken breast or chicken tenders (I use tenders) cut in to cubes.
Celery cut in large pieces.
Fresh Garlic.
Bell Peppers.
Italian spices (Oregeno, rosemary, thyme, etc .. I use a pre blended dried spice mixture for ease). It is important you add the dry spices at the begining so the flavor is released.
Fresh ground pepper to taste.

Sautee and stir until the chicken is cooked all the way through (You can cut a piece of chicken in half, it should be all white and not pink at all). When the chicken is cooked add in cubed fresh tomatoes and carrots (If desired). Sautee for a few minutes more. Add organic tomato sauce with NO sugar or fat added. At this point I also add sliced black olives. Add about one half to one cup of water. Bring sauce to a boil then reduce to low heat and allow to simmer for 30-60 minutes, as desired.

Serve over rice or whole wheat pasta. Sauce will keep well in the fridge for several days.

Enjoy!
