Okay armed with a list of ingredients that i will need to start this new "healthy" lifestyle. I stopped by Vons grocers last night and wondered the stored looking for the things that i would need. Fruit, veges, spices, seasonings, bread, meat, seeds and a few other things and water ... now i am not a big spice cooker so i am going to be learning as i go along.
I found a great website (http://www.changingdiabetes-us.com/Tools/MenuPlanner/Setup.aspx )that will help me meal plan based on the amount of calories that the doctor said i can have.
Armed with my renewed I CAN DO ATTITUDE and a recipe that has items that i can eat.
I decided to bake this CRISPY BAKED CHICKEN
INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup crispy rice cereal
Dash of garlic powder
Dash of onion powder
Dash of paprika
Dash of pepper
Dash of salt
Dash of dried Italian seasoning
1 egg white
1/2 tbsp water
1, 6-oz boneless, skinned chicken breast
Nonstick vegetable cooking spray
1/4 cup long-grain brown rice, cooked according to directions without salt or fat
INGREDIENTS INSTRUCTIONS
Crispy Baked Chicken Crispy Baked Chicken
Preheat oven to 350°F. Crush crispy rice cereal in a bowl and add garlic
powder, onion powder, paprika, pepper, salt, and Italian seasoning. Mix well.
Whisk egg white and water in a shallow bowl and coat chicken breast with
egg mixture then coat chicken in crushed cereal mixture. Place on a baking
sheet that has been sprayed with nonstick cooking spray. Bake uncovered for 1
hour or until done. Serves 1.
***my thoughts, i used precooked chicken (i had some boiled and stored in the freezer) so the cooking time wasn't as long as 1 hr, it didn't seem to effect the topping. I did omit the onion powder as all i had was onion salt (i think that it would have been better with the powder)
I also sliced the chicken breast in half and cooked for 2 and it was quit filling.*** **tim thought that it was a tad dry (he usually only eats the dark meat) but he said it was good**
