Diet Fricassee Of Chicken (Low Calorie) Recipe

The Recipe Instructions

Ingredients

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts,, cut
1 into 1-inch pieces
3 plum tomatoes, peeled and chopped
2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
1/4 cup minced leeks
2 tbsp chicken stock
3 bay leaves
1 tsp olive oil
2 tbsp minced fresh basil
1 tbsp light cream or milk

Directions

Place the chicken in a 9-inch glass pie dish and cover with vented
plastic wrap. Microcook on HIGH until the chicken is cooked through,
about 4 1/2 to 5 minutes, stopping to stir midway. Remove the chicken
with a slotted spoon and drain off any liquid. Combine the tomatoes,
garlic, leeks, stock, bay leaves, and oil in the same dish. Cover
with vented plastic wrap and microcook on HIGH for 2 to 2 1/2
minutes, stirring once midway.

Immediately stir in the basil and cream or milk and let stand for
about 4 minutes. Remove the bay leaves and serve hot in shallow
bowls.

NOTE: At this the sauce (everything but the chicken and bay leaves)
can be whirled for a few seconds in a blender before being poured
over the chicken. This isn't necessary, but it does make a more
attractive, blended sauce.

Makes four servings of 170 calories each.

"A good cook is the peculiar gift of the gods. He must be a perfect creature from the brain to the palate, from the palate to the finger's end.
"Walter Savage Landor"

"A diet is the penalty we pay for exceeding the feed limit."

"Reality check: you can never, ever, use weight loss to solve problems that are not related to your weight. At your goal weight or not, you still have to live with yourself and deal with your problems. You will still have the same husband, the same job, the same kids, and the same life. Losing weight is not a cure for life"
