Top Low Fat Chicken Recipes

My friend gave this top low fat chicken recipe and recommended me cooking it. This dish is amazing! Not too spicy, not too bland, just right and perfectly complemented by the bread and cooling yoghurt. I'm sure you will definitely be serving this dish again.





Ingredients of low fat chicken recipe #1 (serves 4):





500g chicken fillet, cut into 2cm dice


3 tbs (1/4 cup) flour, seasoned with salt and pepper


1/4 cup (60ml) olive oil


2 onions, sliced


2 tsp ground cinnamon


1/4 tsp ground cloves


2 tsp sumac


3 tbs (1/4 cup) sultanas


1 cup (250ml) chicken stock


50g toasted pine nuts*


3 tbs (1/4 cup) chopped fresh coriander


Juice of 1 lemon, plus wedges to serve


Couscous, Greek yoghurt and Lebanese bread, to serve





Methods of low fat chicken recipe #1:





Toss chicken in the flour. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large fry pan over high heat until hot, then cook chicken in batches until golden and set aside.


Heat remaining oil in pan. Add onions, reduce heat to medium and cook for 10 minutes, stirring, until golden and softened. Return chicken to pan with spices, sultanas and stock. Reduce heat to low and cook for 5 minutes until heated through and thickened slightly. Stir in pine nuts, coriander and lemon juice. Serve with couscous, yoghurt, bread and lemon.











Notes:





Sumac is a purple, lemony spice used in North African and Middle Eastern cooking. From spice stores and selected delis. Ready-toasted pine nuts are available from supermarkets. There is one more low fat chicken recipe that is really tasty. Do try to cook it!
