What can I put on grilled chicken to make it taste better

The caveat is that it must be healthy. So no sugary ketchup, bBQ sauce, etc.

I'm going to try salsa maybe. Any other suggestions?
 
Four different meals I make:
[*]Soak in low-fat italian dressing before.
[*]Ground pepper spice blend.
[*]Lemon pepper spice blend.
[*]Grilled onions.

Store bought spice blends. But you could do it yourself. Just use freshly ground black peppers and rub them in "blackened". For the lemon taste, a few drops of lemon juice could do the trick. I'm sure each use a dash of salt as well.

Lemon pepper
 
McCormick makes a "Smoke Flavored Salt", it goes really well with just about any meat.
But then again, I'm just an old country boy, you could smoke turtle shells and I would probably eat it.
 
One slice swiss cheese, put it on the cooked chicken breast and put it under the broiler until melted and brown spots appear (1.5 minutes). Thinly slice avocado and fan on top. It's delicious. Personally, I consider Swiss cheese and avocado "healthy" but if you really mean low cal/low fat, use light cheese.
 
Touch of butter to keep moist, marinade in oil-vinaigrette dressing overnight, spinkle lemon pepper and pinch of taragon. Peel skin just before final 3 minutes of grilling and reapply butter/seasonings. peeling skin first is low fat method, but tends to dry out the bird unles you baste it constantly. Olive oil/butter mix also nice. What toime is supper?

Ever try to grill whole chicken with a beer can standing upright in cloaca cavity?

BTW blackened foods higher in carcinogens, but what ya gonna do? A bit now and then aint so bad..

..brush on a thin glaze of Tobasco. I mix Tobasco in w/my BBQ sauce and brush it all on last few min of cooking. But I guess you can use just Tobasco.

A dash....most store-bought spice blends are mostly salt. I usually buy the salt-free ones. I've already got giant containers of salt, I can shake salt on along with the spice blend!

Some other suggestions:
Storebought poultry seasoning blend - will sort of give it that oven-roasted flavor.
Adobo - Find it in your ethnic food aisle. Tip: Goya's Adobo is MSG-free.
Lowry's Tabasco flavored seasoned salt
Herbs De Provence

 
Preseason: Added Red Pepper/Fajita Seasonings then soak in Skim Milk to soften for up to 2 hours
Grill
Cut up, add chopped lettuce, diced onion and salsa. Then wrap it in a small soft taco shell.
