Ingredients
1 2 1/2 lb broil-fryer chicken
1/2 tsp salt (optional)
1/4 tsp ground sage
3/4 cup orange juice
1/2 cup dry white wine
Directions
Wash chicken well. Remove all skin and visible fat with a sharp knife and
cut into pieces. You should have 2 breast halves, 2 thighs, 2 wings, 2
legs, and the back. Freeze wings, back, and neck for use for making broth
later. Discard the giblets or give them to someone who isn't worried about
cholesterol. Place the remaining pieces in an 8 or 9 inch dish suitable
for use in the microwave. Sprinkle salt and sage evenly over the chicken.
Pour orange juice and wine over chicken pieces. Cover with plastic wrap or
wax paper and cook on high for 5 minutes. Reduce heat to simmer and cook
for 15-20 minutes or until tender.
Serve hot with a little bit of the juice. Serve 1 breast or 1 leg and 1
thigh per serving. Note: If you prefer to use a conventional oven, cover
the pan tightly with aluminum foil and bake at 325F for 45min-1hour or
until the chicken is tender. If you prefer, you can remove the foil the
last 15 minutes to allow the chicken to brown a little. 1 serving = 3 lean
meat, 1/2 bread calories = 185
Servings: 4

Weight loss systemsThe South Beach Diet The South Beach diet is a diet plan started by Cardiologist arthur agatston which encourages that dieters should be eating "good carbs" instead of "bad carbs" and "good fats" instead of "bad fats" Agatston developed his weight loss regime for his cardiac patients, as a consequence of his detailed analysis of scientific research on other weight loss studies. Examples of good foods include, lean beef, turkey bacon, oysters, ricotta cheese, peanut butter, lowfat or nonfat milk and some vegatables, like lentils, cabbage and snow peas. The Glycaemic Index Diet The gi index nutrition system is linked to the gi index, a list showing food types and a score illustrating the rapidity with which the glucose and energy in the food gets converted to sugar in your blood stream. The claim is that long-acting types of food (ie with a low Glycaemic index score), keep you satisfied for a longer period of time and help you to reduce your consumption of food without craving snacks all the time. It's also extremely useful for people with diabetes, as the low GI food types are beneficial in controlling increases in blood sugar amount. The Atkins’ Diet Originating way back in the 1960s, the atkins diet is still widely used today. Having many well known film stars amongst its supporters, it allows weight reduction whilst allowing you to eat many foods that are not normally available to dieters, eg bacon and butter. Unlike other diets, with the atkins diet you are encouraged to eat meat and fat, it is carbohydrates that need to be avoided. It is referred to as a low carb/high protein, nutrition and weight loss system. With this diet, the foods you should avoid are processed and refined sugar, milk, white bread, starchy vegetables, white rice and white flour, including cereals and pasta made from white flour. On the atkins diet the foods you are encouraged to eat are nutrient-rich unprocessed foods such as meat, fish and, as a consequence, poultry. You also can eat shellfish, regular full fat cheese, butter and, as a result, olive oil. |
