protein and dairy at dinner ok?
| Tue, 03-16-2004 - 2:12pm |
Hello, again...sorry bout all the messages. My DH and I really like this chicked dish cooked in the pressure cooker with chk breasts, plain yogurt, chicken broth, veggies, and curry spices. Is this OK? I just can't figure out whether dairy is OK with protein and how much is allowed at dinner. THis is one of my husbands favorite recipes and having it would cheer him up on day 2. We're carb addicts so this is pretty tough ;)
Thanks in advance,
Elizabeth

Hi Elizabeth,
Yes, your recipe is perfect for South Beach, all phases!
Girl, you are smart to be aware and attentive to healthy eating this early!

and the recipe is below. Here's how I changed it:
-Use bonless, skinless breasts, saute in EVOO, w/o flour.
-Remove, add in veggies of your choice. I like garlic, onions and peppers. Saute.
add back chk, add cumin, and other seasonings (I like chili flakes)
add yogurt, lemon juice, and broth.
***add about 1 cup navy or other white beans*** , this will help thicken the sause since you're not using flour.
-Mix, put on lid, bring to high pressure for 12 minutes. Decrease pressure naturally.
-We do not use the eggs, so I don't know how this effects the recipe. It just sounds kind of gross :)
-We served with fresh steamed broccoli. The sauce was excellent. My husband actually pureed it a little with a hand mixer to break up the beans a bit more. It worked great! And heats up really well in the microwave.
Hope you like it!
