3/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp black pepper

1 .whole skinned chicken
1 .breasts, cut in halves
Directions
1. Preheat the oven to 375F. Spray an 8" square baking pan with
non-stick cooking spray.
2. In a large bowl, combine the oil, garlic, salt, cinnamon, and
pepper. Add chicken and potatoes; toss well to coat thoroughly.
3. Arrange chicken in a single layer in prepared baking pan; add
vinegar, then top evenly with potatoes. Bake 40-50 minutes, until
potatoes are tender, chicken is cooked thoroughly and thigh juices
run clear when pierced with a fork. Serve topped with pan juices.
Lin's notes: Since we don't like dark meat, I used 2-3 whole skinned
chicken breasts, cut in halves, and then cut in half again. I also
peeled the potatoes, as Pat doesn't like potato skins. It turned out
great! I served this with a green salad and white wine.

Foods containing allyl sulfides
( includes eschalot, onions and spring onions) The onion range of vegetables is high in allyl sulfides, a chemical which experts believe could be linked to a reduced risk of stomach and colon cancer. Even though there is insufficient definitive proof obtainable, allyl sulphides are also thought by many researchers to reduce problems with blood circulation, high blood pressure and insomnia. Foods containing allyl sulfides are also good for weight loss, so should be included in every weight loss regime. Foods containing lycopene (includes melon, red bell peppers and spiny bitter gourd) Lycopene is a naturally occurring coloring compound and member of the carotenid family of phytochemicals. This chemical is behind the red colour of some types of food. Unlike many other vitamins, lycopene does not become less effective if subjected to heat, but is actually strengthened by being heated. . Lycoprene's key health contribution is that it behaves as an antioxidant and is thought to help lower the risk of contracting cancer. This useful phytochemical is the most efficacious remover of singlet oxygen, which is linked with skin aging. It's also thought by many experts to slow down the growth of diseases affecting arterial blood vessels. The South Beach Diet The South Beach diet is a diet system started by Cardiologist arthur agatston which stresses that dieters should be eating "good carbs" instead of "bad carbohydrates" and "good fats" instead of "bad fats" Doctor agatston invented his weight loss regime for people who have heart disease, as a result of his analysis of scientific data completed on other nutritional studies. Approved foods include, lean beef, turkey bacon, clams, feta cheese, pistachios, lowfat milk and some vegatables, like lentils, cucumbers and water chestnuts. |
