Recipe of the Week This is a variation of a recipe I found on www.neareast.com. I love taking recipes and changing them to be a bit healthier and tastier. This one was a big hit in our house and I just know you are going to love it! This recipe is great because it is low in Cholesterol, a good source of Manganese, and a very good source of Vitamin A and Vitamin K. ROASTED GARLIC AND PARMESAN CHICKEN ONE POT SUPPER INGREDIENTS: 3 Tbsp Olive Oil 2 pounds, boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite sized pieces 3 large carrots, peeled and sliced 1 medium onion, diced 1 small clove garlic (optional, but of you use a grain other than the roasted garlic blend thenbe sure to include it) 2 cups of baby spinach, tear into pieces by hand 2 13 ¾ oz. cans of low sodium, low fat chicken broth 1 package Near East Roasted Garlic Whole Grain Blend (You can also use the Parmesan Cheese Wheat Couscous, if you use plain rice or couscous you will need to add more spices and flavoring) 2-3 tsp hot sauce (or to taste) 1 cup raisins 1/3 cup almonds (plain, no salt), toasted and chopped INSTRUCTIONS: Salt and pepper the chicken. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook chicken until well browned. Using a slotted spoon remove chicken to a bowl, leaving drippings. Reduce heat to medium and add carrots, onion and garlic, cook for 5 minutes. Add spinach, broth, chicken, rice and flavoring packet and hot sauce. Heat to boiling, then reduce heat to low, simmering for approx. 20 minutes. If the mixture seems too thick or if rice looks undercooked add more broth or water until absorbed. Should be thick and stew like. Just before serving stir in raisins and almonds. 8 Servings Total Each serving has 10g fat (remember it’s a healthy fat, Omega 3’s in the almonds), 262 calories, 10g protein, 35.0 carbs and only 11mg of cholesterol Want to learn more about healthy shopping, cooking and eating?
