I'm no chicken!

I hate chicken breast.

Have I ever mentioned that? It really makes dieting hard. Which is why I still force myself to eat it.

Chicken breast is good for you: it's full of protein and low in fat and affordable. I just wish it was tasty too.

But I'm no chicken - I'm not afraid of it ...

Rather than omit it from the food plans, I am forcing myself to like chicken breast. My biggest issue with the meat is that, when cooked properly, it's dry and sucks all of the moisture from my mouth.

Sometimes, I put it in soups, but if it's too stringy, I just end up giving all the chicken to Kevin. That means I'm not getting the nutrition from it that I need. I like it in my now-favorite chicken pot pie recipe. But that's mainly because it's surrounded by the cream of celery soup.

Tonight, I'm trying a baked Chicken Cordon Bleu ... However, unlike tradition chicken cordon bleu, I'm adding a mustard sauce ... I'll post the recipe if I like it.

Otherwise, I would LOVE suggestions for different ways I can cook chicken that won't make it torture for me to eat!

Pot luck indeed!

OMG I just made the GREATEST low-fat/low-cal dinner!!!

I found it in my Hungry Girl cook book and had most of the ingredients (popped to the store for the rest) ...

It's been chilly and I wanted something warm and homey - namely, chicken pot pie. But those things have like a million calories and half a million fat grams (more like 50 fat grams, but yikes!).

Enter Hungry Girl's Pot Luck recipe:



SO FREAKIN' GOOD! I recommend this to anyone. My roommate ate some about an hour after I went to my room for hte night and loved it so much she texted me to tell me how great it was.

A definite keeper, my ladies! Oh and only 210 calories a serving! How awesome is that???
