Ingredients:
14 oz tomatoes, canned
1/2 tsp basil, dried
1/2 tsp tarragon
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper, freshly ground
2 tsp butter, oil or marjarine
1 garlic clove finely chopped
2 lb chicken pieces, skinned
2 tbsp parsley chopped or 2 tsp dry
1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
Instructions:
Original recipe calls for chicken breast with bones. Because of the
sauce, it is easier to eat with bones removed. A good dish to make
with a whole utility frying chicken. Bones and skin can be cooked up
in a separate pot for stock.
Pour tomatoes into container of a blender or food processor. Add
basil, tarragon, salt and papper. Puree until smooth. Melt margarine
in a large frypan. Saute garlic over medium heat 1 min. (or mix in
1/2 tsp garlic powder with other spices)
Add chicken pieces, saute, turning once or twice until golden on both
sides. Cover with tomato mixture. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and
simmer 15 min until tender. Remove chicken and place in a warm
oven-proof dish. Stir parsley into sauce and spoon over chicken.
Sprinkle with Mozzarella. Place under heated broiler 1 min just until
cheese melts.
Or place on a microwave-safe dish and melt cheese in microwave. Or
sprinkle with grated parmesan cheese and serve immediately.

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.
