Steamed Chicken



4-6 boneless chicken breasts

1 medium onion chopped coarsely

2-10 cloves of chopped garlic (or more if you love garlic)

1/2 lemon

2 Tbs chopped parsley



I steam this all together layering the chicken and veggies--squeeze

the lemon over the top and put the lemon in the steamer. No

steamer--well place in a casserole with 1 cup water and microwave 15

min on medium until the chicken is done. Or poach on the stove top

for 20 minutes until chicken is done. Chop the cooled

chicken--discard the veggies and save the broth. use 1/4 of the

chicken for a salad or potato topper adding cheese to taste. use 1/4

of chicken added to 1 package of frozen shopped spinach--thawed and

well drained, add I pkg thawed frozen shopped artichokes, 2 Tbs fat

free sour cream, 1/2 tsp lemon juice. 2 Tbs parmesan cheese and 4 Tbs

grated mozzarella. mix well and spread on pita bread, taco shells

toast in oven until brown or microwave until cheese melts



1/4 chicken with reserved broth and add your favorite veggies--I use

mushrooms a few carrots, celery or add a pack of your favorite frozen

veggies simmer and eat as soup or serve over pasta add a bit of olive

oil with pasta like 1 tsp or to taste



I use the last 1/4 of the chicken chopped with grapes about 1/2 cup, 1

tsp teriyaki sauce, 3 chopped green onion, 1 Tbs mayo, 1 Tbs sour

cream, 1/4 cup chopped carrot and celery and water chestnuts . mix

well and serve as a salad on fresh spinach or greens or spread on a

favorite bread product as a canape or make sandwiches with it



Everyone in my family likes one or more of these uses and there are

many other possibilities but I get several days of low cal eating

without cooking more that one time.Happy eating
