"children" in your family.... <smile>)

An a medium bowl, dissolve the cornstarch in a small amount of
the broth. Stir in the remaining broth, rum, orange juice
concentrate, oregano, cumin, and hot pepper sauce. Pour the
mixture3into the same fry pan and cook, stirring, until mixture boils.

Return the chicken to the saute pan, turning to coat. Reduce
heat to low and simmer, turning twice, about 20 minutes or until
chicken is fork tender.

Remove the chicken from the pan, remove wooden toothpicks. Set
the chicken aside, and keep it warm.

To sauce left in the saute pan, add bean, pimento, and garlic.
Heat mixture to boiling and cook, stirring, for 1 minute.

lettuce. Spoon bean mixture over the chicken, then sprinkle with
onion.

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 were not satisfied with the qualities which nature gave to poultry; art stepped in and, under the pretext of improving fowls, has made martyrs of them." Jean-Anthelme Brillat-Savarin (1755-1826)
