Ingredients:

SAUCE

1 sprig thyme or 1/2 ts dried
1 shallot, chopped
1 pinch nutmeg
1 cup dry (not sweet) champagne
1 1/4 cup chicken stock
1 1/4 cup heavy cream
2 tbsp cold, unsalted butter
1 salt and white pepper
1 tbsp champagne vinegar

CHICKEN

4 boneless, skinless chicken breast h, alves
1 flour
2 tbsp olive oil
2 oz mushrooms, quartered
1/4 cup champagne
2 oz quartered artichoke hearts

Instructions:

Sauce: Combine thyme, shallot, nutmeg, champagne and chicken stock
and boil rapidly to reduce by 3/4 (to about 1/2 cup). Add cream and
simmer for 5 minutes. Add butter, a small piece at a time, whisking
after each addition just to incorporate butter into sauce. Add salt,
pepper and vinegar.

Chicken: Dredge 4 chicken breasts in flour and shake to remove
excess. Heat olive oil in large skillet. Add chicken and mushrooms.
When chicken is browned on both sides (but not fully cooked), add
champagne and artichoke hearts. Cook to reduce champagne by half and
remove chicken to plates. Top with mushrooms, artichoke hearts and
sauce. Garnish with fresh thyme, if available.

Serves 4.

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.

"If God grants me longer life, I will see to it that no peasant in my kingdom will lack the means to have a chicken in the pot every Sunday." Henri IV of France, in a conversation with the Duke of Savoy
