The simplist thing to make for dinner is grilled chicken cutlets.  I simply slice them in half if they're too thick.  Then marinate them , just a little evoo, a splash of good balsamic, some spices (italian or herbs du provence) depending on what you like.  Then turn on the grill , spray with a canned spray oil and grill on high for 2-3 minutes first side, then another 2 on the other side.  (after 2 minutes lower the grill to medium).  Now you have it a quick dinner, you can serve so many ways.  I made a grilled chicken dish with some melted part skim mozzarella, some grilled eggplant underneath and topped it with a mixture of beautiful farmer's market tomatoes and basil.
I grilled extra chicken so I'd have some for sandwiches the next day because I am sick of supermarket turkey, I'd rather make a chicken sandwich with my free range, antibiotic free chicken.  So here's what i did.   Took the grilled cutlets, cut them small, added about  1 tablespoons of VEGENAISE (egg free and gluten free), you can use whatever mayo you like.  Chopped up some celery, peaches, crushed walnuts, and added my favorite herb combination of fresh tarragon and dill.   Mixed it all together and served it on top of organic mixed greens.  Wonderful!  Hope you try it and please let me know how you like, the key is getting those wonderful peaches that are still around at the local farms, off peach season I use grapes or you can definitely use apples, since apple season is about here!
