1/2c sour cream

Sautee chicken breasts in olive oil.  Remove chicken and add rest of ingredients.  Mix and heat through, then pour sauce over chicken.  Good with steamed spinach or asparagus.

Curried Coconut Chicken Salad with Dates

Adapted from a Whole Foods Recipe for leftover turkey or chicken. Serve with lettuce as wraps, or stuffed in whole wheat pitas.


1 small can coconut milk (not light coconut milk)
1 1/4 teaspoons curry powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 c vinegar onions, preferably rice vinegar
2 tbs brown mustard

3 cups cooked shredded chicken, dark or white meat
1/4 cup lime juice
1/2 cup roughly chopped dates
1/2 cup roughly chopped cashews
1/4 cup finely shredded coconut

Measure 3/4 cup coconut milk into a bowl and stir in curry powder, garlic powder, salt, mustard, and shredded chicken. Toss to coat well.  Add dates, coconut, and cashews.  

Parmesan Chicken Bites

4 chicken breasts, sliced
2 c parmesan
¼ c Montreal Chicken seasonings
2 eggs

Cover slices in eggs. Dredge in parmesan mixed with chicken seasoning. Fry in olive oil on medium high head. Made this with the kids 9 june, 2010 and Brenna loved dredging the chicken. Couldn’t get enough of it. And she said it tasted better than chicken nuggets.
I had meant to add breadcrumbs, but forgot and it turned out pretty well and much more South Beach Diet friendly

Soy Poached Chicken

2 pounds chicken breasts
3 c water
1/3 c dark soy sauce(recipe called for ¾ c, but we were short)
1/3 c Chinese black vinegar
4 tbs chopped ginger
4 large garlic cloves
4 tbs lemon juice
1 tsp sesame oil
¼ tsp hot chile flakes

Simmer liquid ingredients. Add chicken breasts and simmer gently for 6-8 mins. Turn off heat and let stand for at least 30 mins. This chicken came out a bit dry and not as flavorful as I like. Might be worth trying again.

This was from John Ash's book.
