Weight Watchers Chicken Marsala

by

Weight Watchers Chicken Marsala

You’ll fall back in love with chicken after trying this Weight Watchers Chicken Marsala recipe. It tastes wonderful and requires little preparation or cooking time. What more could a recipe ask for?

I’m scared of that, that’s why. Until I tried this recipe, that is.

INGREDIENTS

  1. Six skinless, boneless chicken breasts, or roughly 16 ounces of meat
  2. Fresh baby Portobello mushrooms, one pound
  3. Use three-quarters cup of this dressing.
  4. One tablespoon of white all-purpose flour
  5. Two minced garlic cloves or 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  6. 1/4 teaspoon of ground pepper
  7. One-fourth teaspoon salt
  8. Two teaspoons pure olive oil
  9. One tablespoon of canola oil-based light butter
  10. Half a cup low-sodium, fat-free chicken broth
  11. half a cup of cooking wine marsala
  12. Use green onions or fresh parsley for garnish
  13. Cooking spray

Guidelines

  • Every boneless chicken breast should be pounded to a thickness of 1/2 inch by sandwiching it between two pieces of plastic wrap. It is more effective to practice on each one separately.
  • Add Italian dressing to a big gallon-sized zip plastic bag containing all of the chicken breasts. Marinate in the fridge for at least eight hours or overnight.
  • Set the oven’s temperature to 350.
  • Take the chicken breasts out of the zip-lock bag and discard any remaining dressing.
  • Combine the flour, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Coat each chicken breast completely with the mixture. Garlic cloves can be substituted for garlic powder; first, cut the cloves, allow them to cool, and then add them to the flour mixture.
  • The size of the chicken breasts will determine whether or not you need to prepare another batch of the mixture.
  • Apply cooking spray to the bottom of a big nonstick skillet.
  • Add 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil to the skillet along with the butter, and over medium-high heat, fry until browned on both sides.
  • Put onto a baking sheet sprayed with cooking spray.
  • Whisk any browned bits of chicken on the bottom of the pan before adding the chicken stock and wine to the frying skillet. Much of the flavor originates from here.
  • After bringing the mixture to a boil and cooking it for four to five minutes, use a sieve to remove the pieces from the marsala wine sauce. I enjoy
  • this particular one. Sauce should be put aside for later. Place the freshly cleaned and chopped mushrooms in the empty skillet. Spread a spoonful of olive oil on it. After roughly three minutes of sautéing the mushrooms, add the reserved sauce. Cover the chicken with the marsala sauce.
  • Bake the chicken breasts with sauce for 25 to 35 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165 degrees. You’ll get the tastiest chicken this way.
  • To taste, add salt and pepper to the chicken.
  • To achieve the greatest uniform flavor, make sure you distribute the mushrooms equally throughout each breast.

Corned Beef Hash

by

Corned Beef Hash

I adore having eggs and corned beef hash for brunch or breakfast. It’s even healthier when you add chopped vegetables!

Crustacean Vegetable Hash

Chopped vegetables and meat are combined with potatoes to make corned beef hash, which is cooked in a skillet over the stove. You can add almost anything to this dinner, so it’s a perfect use for any leftover meat or vegetables. One of the most well-liked hash recipes is corned beef hash, which is also a fantastic way to use leftover corned meat. Asparagus-Pancetta Potato Hash and Sweet Potato Chicken Hash with Eggs are two more of my favorite hash dishes.

Ingredients:

  1. Two cups chopped boiled potatoes
  2. ideally Gold from Yukon A half-inch dice,
  3. one cup finely chopped carrots,
  4. one cup finely diced green bell pepper,
  5. one teaspoon each of Kosher salt, garlic powder,
  6. and sweet paprika,
  7. one teaspoon each of freshly ground black pepper,
  8. and two cups of cooked, finely chopped lean corned beef (9 oz)

Guidelines

  • In a large nonstick skillet, heat the oil over medium heat.
  • Cook for 5 minutes, or until the veggies are cooked and the onions are transparent, after adding the bell pepper, onion, and carrots.
  • Add the potatoes and season with black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and salt.
  • Cook, covered, stirring, for 5 to 7 minutes, or until golden.
  • Press down to ensure that the corned beef is in a single layer and cook, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the bottom is well browned. a few moments.
  • To taste, adjust the salt.
  • Serve for breakfast with poached or fried eggs

What Goes Well with Hash Browns

I like my yolks runny, so I usually pair my hash with two fried or poached eggs for breakfast. Feel free to cook your eggs to your preferred doneness. A side of fresh fruit or a slice of whole-grain toast could also be served with it. The hash tastes well served with a side salad for dinner.

VARIATIONS:

  • Use leftover chicken or turkey instead of corned beef.
  • Replace the Yukon potatoes with russet or canned potatoes.
  • Swap out the green bell pepper for a red one.

Healthy Egg Salad

by

Healthy Egg Salad – Not your standard salad

!

Recipe By: Dava Bell
This recipe for healthy egg salad isn’t your typical mayonnaise-laden egg salad that you may have on a sandwich.

The assembly takes only fifteen minutes!

The mild flavour of jammy eggs is balanced by the strong tang of beetroot and the beautifully crispy basis of leafy greens.

When I first attempted this recipe, there was a noticeable difference: thirty minutes later, I was still hungry. And when you have a busy day ahead of you, that’s not a good feeling. There was an omission.

INGREDIENTS:

  1. 1/4 cup quinoa
  2. 4 eggs
  3. ½ cup precooked beetroot finely sliced into semicircles; approximately  ½ beetroot is equal to
  4. ½ cup tbsp of white vinegar
  5. three cups of mixed greens
  6. Two teaspoons of olive oil
  7. One teaspoon honey
  8. One teaspoon of apple vinegar
  9. Two ounces of low-fat crumbled feta cheese (or low-fat goat cheese)
  10. One handful of fresh parsley
  11. To taste, add salt and pepper.

DIRECTIONS:

  1. Follow the directions on the quinoa package to cook it. We use one part quinoa to two parts water. After the water has evaporated, remove from the heat source and let sit covered for around five minutes with a tea towel.
  2. Place the eggs in a small pot of boiling water. Cook for 7 minutes for a harder but still jammy egg, or 6 minutes and 30 seconds for a jammy egg with a somewhat liquid yolk in the centre. After that, place the eggs in ice water to cool. Peel them when they’re cold.
  3. Meanwhile, add the thinly sliced beets to a small pot and cover them with water. The water should top the beets by ½ an inch. Add two big pinches of salt and the white vinegar. Once the liquid boils, let it simmer for 3 minutes. Immediately take beets off the hot liquid. If using pre-boiled beets then slice and leave to sit in the same amount of hot water and vinegar.

    The mixture can be discarded when you use the beets in the final step.

  4. Combine ¼ tsp salt, honey, apple vinegar, and olive oil.
    One teaspoon each of honey, apple vinegar, and olive oil
  5. Arrange the quinoa, chopped eggs, chopped parsley leaves, beets, and salad greens on a platter. Season the ingredients well with salt and black pepper. Add the dressing last to the dish.
    3 cups of salad greens, 2 ounces of low-fat feta cheese, and 1 handful of fresh parsleyTo taste, add salt and pepper.

Skinny Orange Julius

by

Skinny Orange Julius

I love this quick & easy recipe and it’s a treat for Beginners….

Here’s a skinny orange, light smoothie you’ll really enjoy.  It contains just a handful of ingredients and is so refreshing. Along with orange juice, soy milk, almond milk or reduced-fat milk, it contains vanilla extract. The vanilla softens the hard, acidic edge of the juice and produces a unique flavor, which is fruity and creamy. The milk further softens the blend.  To make it extra skinny, I’ve added a bit of sugar substitute. This is a refreshing, light smoothie for anyone who’s lactose intolerant if you use soy or almond milk. Each drink has 120 calories and 1 gram of fat. So give it a whirl, grab a straw and start skinny sipping!

Ingredients

  1. 1 1/2 cups ice crushed
  2. 1/2 cup almond milk
  3. 2 ounces orange juice no sugar added
  4. 3 mandarins peeled
  5. 2 tablespoons nonfat yogurt
  6. 2 tablespoons nonfat dry milk
  7. 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
  8. 1/2 teaspoon orange extract
  9. 1 tablespoon maple syrup

Instructions

  1. Add ice, almond milk, and orange juice to blender and blend on high for ten seconds.
  2. Add mandarins, one at a time. Blend until smooth.
  3. Add the last five ingredients and taste. Adjust flavor with orange and/or vanilla extracts, sweetness with more maple syrup, frothiness with more non-fat dry milk.

Notes

  • One orange may be subbed for the mandarins. Seedless is best, but you can always pick out the seeds.
  • Due to use of fresh fruit, pulp will be present. To remove pulp, strain directly after blending mandarins with the liquid ingredients. Proceed to step three.
  • If not using orange extract, just double the vanilla extract to total one teaspoon.
