    Dinner Tomorrow:

    1 cup(s) pecans
    2 tablespoon(s) cornstarch
    1 teaspoon(s) dried thyme
    1 teaspoon(s) paprika
    1 1/2 teaspoon(s) salt
    Cayenne
    1 egg
    2 tablespoon(s) water
    4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
    3 tablespoon(s) cooking oil
    1 cup(s)light mayonnaise
    2 tablespoon(s) grainy or Dijon mustard
    1/2 teaspoon(s) white-wine vinegar
    1/2 teaspoon(s) splenda
    2 tablespoon(s) chopped fresh parsley

    Directions
    1.In a food processor, pulse the pecans with the cornstarch, thyme, paprika, 1 1/4 teaspoons of the salt and 1/8 teaspoon cayenne until the nuts are chopped fine. Transfer the mixture to a medium bowl.
    2.Whisk together the egg and the water in a small bowl. Dip each chicken breast into the egg mixture and then into the nut mixture.
    3.In a large nonstick frying pan, heat the oil over moderate heat. Add the chicken to the pan and cook for 5 minutes. Turn and continue cooking until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through, 5 to 6 minutes longer.
    4.Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, mustard, vinegar, sugar, parsley, a pinch of cayenne and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt. Serve the chicken with the mustard dipping sauce.

    Also serve with steamed broccli and you can even add cheese to your broccli really low cal, if you watch your portions.

    This sounds AMAZING. Definitely on the menu for next week. I have to admit, I am terrible at pan frying. Everything either comes out greasy, or burnt. Any tips for this?

    The biggest Loser cookbooks are wonderful. Great recipes that my whole family enjoys and I have been able to "fool" the kids on several occasions. Tonight we are having Fiery Chicken and Sausage Gumbo over brown rice.

    I have this huge snap lock Tupperware that I fill with salad. Then I get all sorts of toppings - hard boiled eggs, cheddar, slivered almonds, feta, grilled chicken, taco meat, salsa, sour cream, avocado, apples...

    Every day I can quickly build a different salad for each meal. It is easy to calorie count and I don't get bored.

    I love Salad for supper with some kind of protein on top. Quick and easy.

    Grilled tilapia, garden salad and steamed broccoli with fresh cut pineapple for dessert :tongue: Haven't figured out what I will do for dressing yet, because I do not want to be over on my sodium :sad:

    Sounds yummy. I will be right over. :laugh:

    Some basics I keep handy: Salmon patties from Costco, Whole Wheat pasta with a NO SUGAR tomato sauce and frozen meat balls, shrimp (always on hand) - veggies - easy to fix and very filling, Pita bread - sauce and low fat cheese - you have pizza.

    Asian glazed chicken, pineapple fried rice and chow mein. Not the healthiest, but it's homemade so we have better control over the ingredients.
