Ingredients:

1 2 1/2-3 lb chicken skinned a
1/2 tsp red pepper
1/2 tsp paprika
1 cup finely chopped onions
1/2 cup finely chopped celery
2 tbsp tomato paste
1 tbsp low sodium worcesterschire
1/4 tsp ground ginger
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp chili powder
1 tbsp reduced calorie margarine
1/2 cup finely chopped bell pepper
1 6 oz can orange juice
2 tbsp honey
1 tsp grated orange peel
1/4 tsp hot sauce

Instructions:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Arrange the chicken halves in an
eight inch baking dish sprayed with vegetable cooking spray. Combine
the salt, red pepper, chili powder and paprika; mix well and sprinkle
over the chicken; set aside.

In a medium skillet over high heat, melt the margarine. Add the
onions, bell pepper and celery; saute, stirring constantly for five
minutes. Add all the remaining ingredients. Cook, constantly
stirring, for five more minutes, or until thge sauce thickens, then
remove from the heat and pour over the chicken. Cover with aluminum
foil and bake for 30 minutes. Turn the chicken over and baste with
the sauce. Bake, uncovered, for 30 minutes longer, or until the
chicken is tender, basting often.

note: Rather than use margarine to saute the vegetables, I have used
Pam, spraying both the vegetables and the pan. Works just as well.
Also, for a little spicier dish, try using Chinese red pepper instead
of the ground red and use a Tbsp of hot sauce. I also usually leave
out the ginger.

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.
