Hey guys. What's a recipe for a good, low-fat (or even just healthy) recipe for dinner for 4 people? I'm pretty freestyle. I can work with any typical meat, chicken, pork, beef, seafood...
just please no sausages, mince or anything else high on fat.
thanks!Low-fat or just Healthy dinner recipe for a reasonably beginner cook?
chicken breasts cut in strips, grilled , with sauted spinach and onions over pasta drizzled with olive oil and a toss of parmesan cheese. Season to suit your taste.Low-fat or just Healthy dinner recipe for a reasonably beginner cook?
Chicken n the pot
4 chicken breasts
2 cans Campbells Fat Free Cream of Chicken Soup
2 cans of water
Instant white rice
Vegetable of your choice
Mix both cans of soup and 2 cans of water in a mixing bowl until both cans of soup and water are mixed well together.
Pour into a crock pot and place 4 chicken breasts (frozen) into soup mixture.
Turn on LOW for 8-10 hours.
Come home from work and smell the great aroma of your house.
Make instant white rice and veggie of your choice.
Place rice on plate first, chicken on top of rice, then drizzle your soup on top of rice and chicken, add veggie last on the side. MMM!!!
Do the same exact thing with boneless pork chops except get Campbells Fat Free Cream of Mushroom Soup.
Do the same exact thing with beef tips except get Campbells Fat Free French Onion Soup. Instead of rice, add baby carrots to the crock pot when you add the meat. I also cut up some red potato and put it in there and it turned out GREAT!!!!!!
The soups don't taste fat free either. It's quick, easy, CHEAP, and home cooked. I hope you enjoy!

You can buy sealed precooked meats from your supermarket...pork chops, baked hams, roasts of all types with gravy, chicken, the list goes on and on. They are in the cold section. Ask a clerk to help you find them.
Supermarket deli's have precooked roasted chicken and also fried chicken.
Start Organic. this food is higher in all the good stuff (fiber,proteins, minerals, etc...) meat loaf is always simple. In fact if you really want to stretch it, find a good meat loaf recipe (cooks.com) and replace all of the meat with vegetarian meat. If you find the right kind you can let them think they have the real thing. good luck!
sorry I didn't include a recipe =(
Pork and Beef stew, it is easy to make, and it is very healthy.
Fish Veracruz Style. It is a Mexican dish made with a simple tomato sauce with sweet peppers strips, onion strips, garlic, pepper flakes, and green olives. Very easy to make and very yummy!Make about 2 or 3 cups of rice (see recipe below)
Heat a little olive oil in a pan over medium heat, saute 1 onion cut into thin strips until tender about 3-5 minutes. Add 1 sweet pepper and 1 poblano or other slightly spicy pepper cut into thin strips and saute for another 3 minutes. Add 1 or 2 garlic cloves, saute until aromatic. To this add 1 large can crushed tomatoes or you can use fresh, just peel the tomatoes and remove center. Season with pepper flakes and salt (don't use too much salt since green olives will add quite a bit of salt to sauce. If you are not sure don't add salt since you can just add salt at the table). Simmer until it thickens a little and Set aside.
Saute fish fillets (red snapper is the traditional fish for this recipe but tilapia or any other white fish works well too) in garlic butter until just cooked. Rinse olives (about 1/3 cup or 1/4 cup if you really like them) with plain water. Heat sauce over medium-high heat when it boils lower heat to medium-low and add olives, and fish. Heat through. Serve over rice with plenty of sauce. Serve with a simple mixed salad and nice bread. To make 2 cups of rice: Bring 4 cups of water with a pinch of salt and a bit of butter or olive oil to a boil over high heat. When water boils add 2 cups of rice, cover, bring to a boil again. Then lower heat to just a simmer and let cook for about 15 minutes or until cooked. After about 15 minutes check rice if it is still not done you might need more water. If it is done but you still have some water in the pan (don't over cook the rice) drain the water. Then just let the rice sit for 5 minutes. White rice usually take a little less water. Brown rice usually takes a little more. Good luck and enjoy!
