Ingredients:
2 tbsp olive or salad oil
2 medium onions, sliced 1/2-inch thick
2 tsp unbleached all-purpose flour
1 tsp salt
3/4 tsp dried rosemary leaves, crushed
1/2 tsp black pepper
4 large chicken thighs, (about 1 1/2 pounds)
1/2 lb small red potatoes, cut into 1-inch pieces
2 tbsp lemon juice
1/2 bunch fresh spinach, about 1/4 lb, coarsely sl
1/4 cup pitted ripe olives, each sliced in half
Instructions:
ABOUT 40 MINUTES BEFORE SERVING:
In a 10-inch skillet, over medium-high heat, heat the olive or salad
oil until hot then add the onions and cook until golden brown. Remove
the onions to a bowl and set aside. On a sheet of waxed paper, mix
the flour, salt, dried rosemary, and pepper, blending well, then coat
each of the chicken thighs. Still over medium high heat, cook the
chicken, in the remaining oil in the skillet, until golden brown on
all sides. Add the potatoes, lemon juice, cooked onions and 1/4 cup
of water to the chicken in the skillet. Increase the heat to high and
heat to boiling, then reduce the heat, cover, and simmer for 20
minutes or until the chicken and potatoes are fork tender and the
juices run clear when the chicken is pierced with a knife. Skim off
the fat from the liquid in the skillet. Stir in the spinach and
olives, cooking until the spinach is just wilted.

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.
