Stir; add some lean pan-roasted chicken and a side of vegetables along with a slice of bread and an unsweetened ice tea - and you have a hearty meal that will stick to your ribs. Our favorite dressings include poppy seed, honey mustard that has been mixed with balsamic vinegar and Italian Oil & Vinegar. You can also use these lower calorie dressings to flavor meat proteins. The next time that you prepare pan-roasted chicken, add a bit of one of these dressings towards the end of the recipe - right before you plan to remove it from the pan.
