Hello ladies!
It's Jen checking in after a long time away! I am still doing good on HCG, although when I took the 12 weeks off I did gain a portion of the weight back after the holidays :(. I am a work in progress, and I try to be patient when things like gain happen. I try not to give up when I have moments of weakness.
In other news!! I have created an amazing NEW recipe for this diet that does not taste diet!! AT ALL!!! Have you ever been to Buca Di Beppo the resaurant? They have a dish called chicken saltimboco (sp) at any rate I have created a recipe for HCG at home and you won't be disappointed! Super YummY!
~1 Tblsp I can't believe it's not butter spread in med-hot no stick skilet. (remember you can have 2 tbls of milk each day so your safe! I use the spray I can't believe it's butter all the time on my veggies and spinach)
~ Add 1/2 capful of lemon juice in center of melting butter.
~Add weighed raw (100 grams) chicken to butter and lemon juice mixture. (Try to keep in the center of pan so the butter centers around the chicken)
~Season with salt, pepper, 2 shakes of basil and one shake of oregeno. (trust me go light on the oregano)
~flip chicken repeat on other side with seasonings and reduce to med-low heat
~at this point I take my spatula and chunk the chicken in the pan after cooking it whole. This also shows you how well it's cooked on the inside.
~ Add 1/2 jar of artichoke hearts (drained) marinated in WATER only NO OIL! (about 6-8 hearts)
~Add 1/2 cup of fresh sliced mushrooms
~Add 1 tsp of capers
~ Add some more basil and salt to season the artichokes and stir all ingerients together in the pan.
~let simmer for 5 minutes until heated through
~pour all ingredients onto a large plate and top with a pinch of parmsean cheese, fresh is best! add a few more capers if you choose to top!
I usually do not eat my apple or melba toast when eating this dish, but the reward is soo worth it!! The plate is full, you will be full, and this is one recipe that I am feeling pretty genious about!! ;)
Hope you guys like it!
Jennifer :)
