Hi Turtles,
We're doing great. My first goal was to stop the gain-----and anybody who feels "stuck" at a number for a while, we can all relate. My weight actually went up over the last few months and that's why I had to drop WW and the points plus program for now and concentrate on calories. That said, here's the yummy chicken dish I told you about before.
No time to respond to everybody, but Princess I love that you're looking before you head to the delis and restaurants-----you'll get through these challenges so much better. WEigh to go!
FRENCH COUNTRY CHICKEN WITH MUSHROOM SAUCE
4 boned and skinned chicken breast halves
1T. flour
4 shallots---thinly sliced (or onions are fine too)
1/4# mushrooms thinly sliced
2T. butter
1T. rosemary
1/4c. white wine
1/2c. nonfat chicken broth
2T. chopped fresh parsley
Pound chicken breasts to flatten.
Melt 2T butter in saucepan, add shallots and cook for 3 minutes. Add mushrooms and cook over low heat for 2 more minutes. Stir. Add flor and stir.
Add wine and chicken stock. Cook and as sauce thickens, stir and add the rosemary. Keep on low heat
In a skillet, spray with Pam. Add the chicken fillets and saute on both sides. The chicken should cook in about 5 minutes if it's thin enough.
Spoon sauce over chicken and top with parsley.
I love this with noodles on the side, but any starch is fine. Cooked carrots are pretty with this dish. I have made it without the wine and it tastes fine that way too. Sometimes I get tired of grilled chicken and this is a handy dish to make for those times. I hope you enjoy it. (I also boost the number of mushrooms to stretch the dish----every bit helps.)

Hey Guys, this is going to sound strange, but to lose weight I had to let myself get a little hungry. I find I can get past the hunger if I distract myself. I've been doing this for one month and I'm very happy with the results. Good luck to us all!
