Recipe of the Week

March 4, 2011:  This week Huzby and I are eating a lot of smoothies.  Currently the favorite is:
.5 Cup fat Free Vanilla Greek Yogurt
Frozen Mango
Water
Alive UltraShake 
.5 Scoops of Protein Powder.

This comes to about 245 Calories 24 Carbs and 31 G Protein.  That is a meal replacement as well as being high Protein and filling the Alive Ultra Shake is FULL of all the vitamins and green you need in a day. 


October 25, 2010:  Tonight I will be getting this one set up to eat before meeting tomorrow its not technically a diet recipe but I use boneless skinless chicken breasts and I cube them and this usually will go for 3-4 meals for Huzby and I.  I serve it over rice or potatoes:

Ww Chicken Breast Sauté Puttanesca-Style Recipe


Ingredients
1 T olive Oil
20 oz boneless, skinless chicken breast
1/2 tsp table salt
1/2 tsp black pepper, freshly ground
2 tsp unsalted butter
3 t garlic
1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
10 t black olive
1 tbsp capers, rinsed and drained, chopped
14 oz canned diced tomatoes
Directions
  1. Instructions
  2. * Coat a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium heat. Meanwhile, season the chicken with salt and pepper.
  3. * Slip the chicken into the skillet and cook until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Flip and continue cooking just until the chicken is cooked through, and an instant-read meat thermometer inserted into the center of one chicken breast registers 165°F, about 3 minutes more. Transfer the chicken to a plate and set aside.
  4. * Melt the butter in the same skillet and add the garlic and red pepper flakes; stir over the heat for 30 seconds.
  5. * Stir in the olives and capers; pour in the tomatoes. Bring to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits on the bottom of the skillet. Reduce the heat to low and simmer slowly until just slightly reduced, about 3 minutes.
  6. * Return the chicken and any accumulated juices to the skillet; cook until just warmed through, about 2 minutes. Yields 1 chicken breast and about 1/3 cup sauce per serving.
