Ingredients:
15 oz boneless chicken breasts
1 tbsp + 1 tsp olive oil
1/2 cup chopped onion
2 cl garlic, minced
1 tbsp flour
1 1/2 cup sliced mushrooms
1 cup chicken broth
2 tbsp chopped parsley
1 1/2 tsp dried thyme
1 tsp chicken seasoning(i added)
1 oz (2 t) dry sherry
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/4 cup nonfat sour cream
Instructions:
1. Cut the chicken into bite size pieces. In a large nonstick
skillet, over medium high heat, warm 1 tablespoon of the oil until
hot but not smoking. Add the chicken and cook, stirring until
browned, about 3-5 minutes. Remove the chicken to a plate and cover
loosely to keep warm.
2. Add the remaining 1 teaspoon of oil to the skillet. Add the onion
and garlic, and cook, stirring until the onion begins to brown (3-5
minutes). Stir in the flour and cook, stirring, until the flour is no
longer visible, about 30 seconds.
3. Add the mushrooms, chicken broth, parsley, sherry, thyme, and
pepper, and bring to a boil, stirring, until the mixture has
thickened slightly. Return the chicken to the skillet and cook until
heated through, about 1 minute.
4. Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the sour cream.
NOTE: You can make this ahead of time, reserving the addition of the
sour cream just before you serve it. I served this over cooked egg
noodles, with French bread and chunky applesauce, and it was GREAT!

Chicken is ideal
for weight loss
and dieting
Healthy eating is far better than strict dieting, and weight loss achieved by a change of lifestyle lasts far longer than 'faddy' diets that are difficult to adopt for long periods.
Cooking more low fat chicken can enable you to lose weight gradually as part of a a controlled and healthy diet.
"We didn't starve, but we didn't eat chicken unless we were sick, or the chicken was." Bernard Malamud (1914-1986)
