Ingredients:
2 whole chicken breasts, halve
1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
1 garlic clove, chopped
1 small onion, chopped fine
1 cup raw rice
3 cup water
1 pinch saffron threads or powder
1 cup chopped broccoli (or frozen)
Instructions:
Saute the chicken in the oil with the garlic and onions until lightly
browned. Remove mixture to a large pot, discarding excess oil. Add the
rice, water, and large pinch of saffron to the pot and bring to a
boil. Reduce the heat and simmer. tightly covered, until the rice is
tender (at least 30 min.), adding extra water if necessary. When the
rice is nearly tender, add the broccoli to the top of the pot and
cover. Cook for 5 min more. Broccoli should be bright green and
tender when the meal is cooked. If the rice is done before the
broccoli, simply turn off the heat, cover the pot again, and let the
broccoli finish cooking by steaming.

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.
When chickens quit quarreling over their food they often find that there is enough for all of them. I wonder if it might not be the same
with the human race.
