    Healthy Dinner Recipes For Two?



    Hey everyone...I'm trying to come up with something good to cook for dinner tonight and I'm drawing a blank. I'm looking into making it kind of a romantic, date night type dinner, so something slightly more involved than just making a boxed meal. I'd prefer some sort of chicken or fish recipe, and while I'm sure I can get away with it, I'd like to avoid pasta/carb heavy meals as my wife and I are trying to eat healthy.

    I know there's probably a few of you that have some good ideas, so I'd love to hear 'em. I'm a pretty decent cook when I follow the recipes, so just whatever comes to mind feel free to throw my way. Thanks!

    Cooking Light is both a decent magazine and website, and is a constant source for the Wife and I for recipes. They are usually pretty clear recipes and use some neat tricks to get stuff tasting decadent while still being quite reasonable on calories and nutrition.

    You can do a grilled chicken breast with a marsala style sauce that is pretty easy. Instead of frying the chicken up you can beat it kinda thin put some olive oil, salt and pepper onand grill it. For the sauce get some shrooms, marsala wine and some butter, saute all of them togehter and cook the wine down for a great sauce. Your saving calories by not frying the chicken.

    Lemon chicken is also a good choice.

    Adjust cooking time (down) for boneless chicken breasts if that's what youare using.
