Hi all.
Just wanted to know if anyone wanted to exchange recipe's?
Its a good way to spice up your meals..... this way your not eating the same boring chicken breast over and over.
Let me know what you guys think!

    That would be great I always look for recepies, because as you said, it gets boring really fast. I think that is a great idea.

    Hi!

    I'd love to do a recipe exchange! I'm on the Medifast Plan right now so I have "random" recipe's for that but other ones for just watching what you eat as well.

    Let me know!

    Mary :)

    Chicken with apples and cider (taken from Weight Watcher Cook Book)
    Ingredients

    2 Tbsp Vegetable Oil
    1 Granny Smith apple, cored and sliced
    1 Tbsp packed brown sugar
    4 4oz boneless chicken breasts
    1/4 tsp each of salt, cinnamon, and freshly ground black pepper
    1 medium onion, thinly sliced
    1/2 cup apple cider
    1/4 cup cider vinegar
    3 cups hot cooked wide egg noodles



    Directions
    Heat 1 tbsp oil and saute the apple 5 minutes, until lightly browned. Sprinkle with brown sugar. Cook, stirring frequently, until tender, 3-5 minutes longer. Transfer to a plate.

    Sprinkle the chicken breast with the cinnamon, salt and pepper. Heat the remaining oil in the same skillet. Saute chicken until browned. 4-5 minutes each side. Transfer to another plate.

    In the skillet, cook the onion, covered, until tender, 6-8 minutes. Stir in the cider and vinegar. Simmer for 2 minutes. Return the chicken to the skillet; simmer, spooning the sauce over chicken, until chicken is cooked through and liquid is reduced by half, 4-5 minutes.

    Return apples to skillet, cook 2 minutes until heated through. Serve over noodles.

    I love to cook -- this is one of my favourite recipes, adapted from allrecipes.com:

    souvlaki
    Marinade: 1/4 c soya sauce
    1/4 c lemon juice
    couple tablespoons olive oil (original recipe calls for 1/4 c)
    minced garlic, oregano (fresh or dried, a lot or a little, to taste)
    Marinate chunks of chicken or pork for several hours, skewer with peppers and onions and grill until meat is no longer pink
    When I don't want to mess with skewers, I just marinate a whole pork tenderloin and then cook it on the grill 20-30 min (less prep, but longer cooking time) My son throws all this in a pita with tzaziki -- I just eat it as it.
