This was really flavorful and delicious!
I measured (raw) 100 grams of chicken (so a little more than 4 oz, about 1/2 of an average size chicken breast).

*stevia drops are a dieters dream. It's sweetener that is 0 carbs and calories. You can find many flavored ones and regular ones at a local health food store or online at Amazon.com
*Melba toast is found in the cracker isle at local grocery stores. It's also known as Melba crackers. You can get many flavors. I love the garlic and I usually crush 2 crackers up for my salad
Hey Lauren! I have a suggestion for a great dessert to go with this dish - banana sorbet. I make this nearly every night, and you can use any type of frozen fruit you have (I sometimes toss in frozen peaches or mangoes).
ReplyDeleteI cut up a banana before freezing it overnight. Then I just put it into my food processor with a little bit of almond milk (you can use soy milk or regular milk) - maybe half a cup. Blend and enjoy - the texture is exactly like ice cream, but you're getting a large serving for only a small portion of the calories. I've even added some powdered peanut butter (I use PB2) and it's delicious. :)
Wow these recipes look good. I think next time dad and I come up we will be losing weight if we let you do the cooking.
ReplyDeleteThanks Vanessa! I will try that, it sounds wonderful! I bet you could also add a few drops of Valencia Orange Stevia and it would be delightful too!
