Now that I have a better focus on health fitness goals I have stopped eating out. I find myself cooking more and to be honest with you I enjoy my food more.
I have a better control over the ingredients and never have to worry if I am over my daily calories because I am the one preparing my meals.
I am starting to be a little creative with my food and kind of have to adjust since I have such a love for soul food.
So now I just put the lo fat recipes on my computer and have fun with it. Since I can’t invite you all to my house to taste my cooking I decided to let you in my world and give you a taste via my secret recipes I use.
Today I am giving you a taste of my Low Fat Moroccan Soul Chicken! Yes it is as good as it sounds and best of all it is low fat.
Please let me know if you try it and how you liked it. I can just say it taste so good it will make you wanna pig out so try to keep it to one serving. LOL
OK enough talking let’s get to cooking. For this recipe here is what your going to need.
3 tsp olive oil
4 chicken breasts fillets, skinless
1 onion, chopped
1 shredded zucchini
1 tsp minced garlic
2 Tbsp fresh cilantro leaves
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 cup chicken broth (preferibly, low sodium broth)
1 x 225 g (8 oz) can of chick peas, drained.
1/4 cup of sultanas/raisins
6 prunes, pitted and chopped
2 Tbsp orange juice and please try to use fresh squeezed so you can reduce the amount of sugar! Concentrated orange juice contains way to much sugar. You will only need one fresh orange and you should be in the game! Now let’s COOK!
Here Are The Steps:
Ingredients:
1. Chop onion zucchini and garlic in appropriate size.
2. Heat oil in a large nonstick frying pan, and fry the chicken for three minutes, turning it over once. Set aside.
3. Now, cook the onion, zucchini and garlic in the frying pan, stirring for about 4 minutes, till they go tender.
4. Add the broth and bring the whole thing to a boil.
5. Finally, add the cooked chicken and chick peas, sultanas and prunes. Then simmer for about 10 minutes.
6. Add the orange juice, and continue simmering for another 5 minutes till the mixture goes thick.
Now Stick a fork in it your DONE! ENJOY!!
