Ingredients:
1/2 lb boneless chicken breast or:
1/2 lb mixed vegetables
4 small red chile peppers
1/2 stalk lemon grass
2 kaffir lime leaves
2 tbsp oil
1/2 cup coconut milk
2 tbsp fish sauce
15 basil leaves
1 cup chopped cabbage
Instructions:
thinly cut chicken into 2-inch strips. If doing veggie version, cut
veggies into thin strips. Grind together red chili peppers, lemon
grass, and kaffir lime leaves. Heat oil and saute pepper mixture for
three minutes. Stir in coconut milk and cook for two minutes. Add
chichen (or vegetables) and cook for five minutes of until cooked.
Reduce heat to medium-low. Stir in fish sauce and basil. Serve on
bed of chopped cabbage.
Note: For mixed vegetables, choose from amoung bell peppers, string
beands, water chestnuts, tomatoes ( small cherry tomatoes are best),
bamboo shoots, nimiature corn, asparagus, cucumbers, zucchini,
Japanese eggplant, and mushrooms. I particularly like string beans
or asparagus, a few cherry tomatoes, shredded (rather than sliced)
bamboo shoots, miniature corn, and stome straw mushrooms or slender
(Japanese) eggplant.

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.
