Ingredients:
1 1/2 lb chicken thighs (6 to 8) **
2 egg whites
5 tbsp cornstarch, divided
3 tbsp minced fresh garlic
1/4 lb thin spaghetti
1 cup water
1/2 cup rice vinegar
3 tbsp reduced sodium soy sauce
1 tsp red pepper flakes
2 tbsp peanut oil
1/2 lb fresh mushrooms, thinly sliced (2 c, ups)
1 cup diagonally sliced green onions
Instructions:
** Chicken breasts can be substituted for thighs,
Remove chicken meat from bones in large pieces. Shred meat into 1-
inch long pieces. You should have 2 cups.
In a large kettle or saucepot, start cooking pasta in boiling water
following package directions for al dente stage.
While pasta is cooking, whisk together egg whites with 3 tablespoons
of the cornstarch and the garlic in medium bowl. Add the chicken
shreds; toss to coat. Let stand for 5 minutes.
In another bowl, smooth the remaining 2 tablespoons cornstarch with
part of the water. Stir in remaining water, vinegar, soy sauce, and
red pepper flakes; set aside.
Coat a large wok or heavy skillet with the oil. Heat over medium-
high heat until the oil begins to sizzle. Lift chicken pieces from
egg white mixture, letting excess drip back into bowl. Stir-fry until
golden brown, about 5 minutes. Lift out with slotted spoon to paper
towels. Wipe out wok or skillet.
Place wok over medium heat. Whisk the reserved cornstarch/soy mixture
again and pour into wok. Bring mixture just to a boil. Add mushrooms
and onions. Cook, stirring constantly, until sauce thickens, about 3
minutes. Add the cooked chicken pieces and heat, stirring constantly,
until chicken and vegetables are glistening and mixture is hot.
Drain pasta and place on a large serving platter. Top with the
chicken/vegetable mixture.

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.
