I"ve got chicken on hand and broccoli, a few other veggies, I cna't think of anything to do with the chicken, i really like it flavorful, I thought I could stuff a pepper with some hummous and bake it, instead of having chicken but am I allowed hummous? i know it has chickpeas in it but I don't know what else is in it, I got it from the deli and when i asked for the ingredients they didn't have the container anymore, it was the last of the batch i guess. They get it in bulk. I prob shouldn't have gotten it but wasn't really thinking at the time and put it in my basket anyways and now i don't want to waste it. this is my second full day and so far i'm doing great so I don't want to go back. anways, any help would be great

How about a quick marinade to baste your chicken with either on the grill or in the oven? You can use olive oil and vinegar with any herbs, or even bottled salad dressing with 3g of sugar or less. Roasted or grilled broccoli plus any other veggies you have on hand would go great with the chicken. Just brush them lightly with olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper and grill of a piece of aluminum foil or roast in the oven at 400 degrees until they start to brown (stir often).


Or, you could do a stir-fry. If you need instructions, let me know. I am just hanging out here for a while!!

BTW, hummus IS allowed on any phase, but it is limited to 2 tablespoons.


HTH,

thanks, that helps a lot, i think i'll roast the chicken with a sald dressing and then chop it and makes sald using that and brocoli and some of the other veggies i have on hand and save the hummus for my evening snack with celery. thanks again
