Ingredients:
JUDI M. PHELPS
1 lb boneless, chicken breasts, skinless and trimmed of a
1/2 tsp salt, optional
1/4 tsp black pepper
2 tsp tub-style margarine, canola or corn oil
1 cup onion, chopped
1 cl garlic, minced
1 1/4 cup chicken broth, defatted and divided
2 tbsp mild honey
2 tbsp lemon juice
1/4 tsp salt, or to taste optional
1 1/2 cup cauliflower florets
1 large carrot, peeled and thinly sliced
1/4 cup ; water
1 tbsp cornstarch
2 tbsp dijon-style mustard
1 1/4 cup long-grain white rice uncooked
Instructions:
Cut chicken into small bite-sized pieces. Sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon
salt, if desired, and pepper. In large nonstick, spray- coated
skillet, cook chicken pieces over medium heat, turning frequently
with large wooden or plastic spoon, 7-10 minutes or until they begin
to brown and are cooked through. Remove and set aside in medium
bowl. In same skillet, combine margarine, onion, garlic, and 3
tablespoons broth. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, 6-7
minutes or until onion is tender. If liquid begins to evaporate, add
a bit more broth. Add honey and lemon juice to pan with onions, and
stir to combine well. Stir in remaining chicken broth and salt, if
desired. Stir in reserved chicken, cauliflower, and carrot. Bring to
a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 20 minutes or until flavors
are blended. Meanwhile, cook rice according to package directions.
Combine water and cornstarch. Stir into simmering sauce and cook,
stirring, until thickened. Stir in mustard. Simmer an additional 1
or 2 minutes. Arrange rice on large serving platter. Top with chicken
and sauce. Or serve individual portions over rice.
Judi's Notes: I have not tried this dish but cooking cauliflower for
20 minutes is just too long. I would advise 10 minutes tops to keep
it's bright color and not become mushy.

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.
"We didn't starve, but we didn't eat chicken unless we were sick, or the chicken was." Bernard Malamud (1914-1986)
