Healthy sauces
Discussion
'Light' versions of soft white cheese (Philadelphia-type) can be used to make really creamy sauces without high levels of fat.
We particularly like chunks of chicken browned in a bit of oil & then simmered gently until cooked in a sauce made from low fat soft cheese & chicken stock. Onions, garlic, chopped chills, peppers etc. etc. added according to mood.
This freezes well — so we usually makeup a decent sized batch & freeze in portions for later use.

Mustard: not just a sandwich condiment. Dijon mustard complements poultry perfectly.
Combine it with fresh thyme, salt, pepper, some white wine, and garlic, and you’ve got yourself a main course that’s perfect to serve with roasted potatoes, over pasta, or on salad greens.
Brown Sugar Spiced Baked Chicken
A quick, sweet, and savory dinner doesn’t get easier than this. Preheat the oven while you coat chicken in a blend of sugar, paprika, cumin, salt, pepper, oregano and garlic. Bake for 20 minutes, and enjoy.
The 4-Ingredient Chicken Marinade
So simple yet so tasty.
Who knew that brown sugar, vinegar, oil, and soy sauce could produce something this good?

I've been a Mayonnaise lover for as long as I can remember....however, despite there being a 'light' version of Hellmans available, it's still basically 'fat in a jar' whichever way you look at it! 
So, when I went on a massive diet, I switched to Heinz 'Low Calorie' salad cream as an alternative. Ok, it doesn't have the creaminess of mayo, but I grew to love it too - and as it has a much stronger flavour than mayo, I found I could get away with using it far more sparingly.
