Mexican Chicken (L&G)

Postby Nova » November 25th, 2006, 10:30 am

Made this last night when I was cleaning out my pantry, and it turned out fabulous. I have to make it again soon.

3 chicken breasts
1 can diced tomatoes
2 green chilis
2 TBSP chili powder
1 tsp cumin
hot sauce

Sprayed a large, frying pan with non-stick spray and cooked the chicken breasts 5-7 minutes/side, just enough to put some brown on them. Added can of tomatoes, chilis, and spices, turned the heat to simmer, put a lid on the pan, and left it alone for 20 minutes. I realized when I came back that my tomatoes were sticking, so I deglazed with some water and about a half-cup of chicken stock I had on hand. Pulled the chicken apart and let it stew some more (5-10 minutes).

The tomatoes had caramelized and the flavors blended wonderfully. Had 6.5 oz with a half oz of Mexican shredded cheese and it was delicious.

I had a little less salad to account for the tomatoes in the chicken, but they had really cooked into little more than flavoring by that point.

That recipe sounds delicious but I am not ready for such delicious food yet. My lean and green of salad and some tuna or lowfat cottage cheese tastes good enough after a day of supplements. I am afraid I would overindulge if I had something too tempting.

True, but I always add salt to the food when it's on my dish. I like food salty, and I don't like to add it when cooking for fear of oversalting for other people.

Many times, depending upon the size, chicken breasts are usually large enough (boneless) to make the 7 oz for your lean. As for the green, you probably would be okay to have 2 cups of salad or a cup of cooked veggies in addition to the chili and tomato from dish.
