Chicken with balsamic vinegar

So the new year is upon us, swimsuits and sundresses will be here soon. So after indulging for the holidays if you are like me, a tasteful, low cal menu is what I look for. Both my hubby and I take our lunch, so this is a great lunch or dinner with plenty of leftovers for the work week. This dish takes little time, so it is perfect for the weeknight dinner too. This chicken dish has been modified a few times, but this is what I have come up with...hope you love it. Ingredients:


Chicken breast 3-4 large, yellow and orange pepper, onion, garlic, 1 pkg of frozen spinach, 2 cans of canneloni beans (any white bean works) mushrooms, 1 cup of chicken stock, 1 cup of light balsamic vinegrette dressing




Microwave and drain spinach~ really squeeze out the water!

Chop the onion and peppers (use whatever your supermarket carries)

Spray the pan with non-stick spray and saute the mushrooms for a few minutes until tender, add salt and pepper.

Next add the onions, garlic and peppers, be sure to add salt and pepper again. I know I preach the seasoning...but it is so important to season as you go to get depth in your flavors.

Drain the beans and rinse, add to the pan with spinach. Salt and pepper again.

At this point add the dressing and the chicken stock, heat up and taste, adjust seanoning.

Dice chicken and brown in a seperate pan, again I sprayed the pan with non-stick spray.

Add the chicken to the veggies and beans and serve!!

After a day of playing this really hits the spot!

This dish is both low cal and high in flavor. Lots of veggies add essiental vitamins, chicken and beans add protein while the beans and veggies also add fiber. This is a great addition that will never feel like diet food!!

As always feel free to email with questions.
