Dieters.............

I just made a kick-a$$, healthy dinner, if you don't mind me saying so lol

I made chicken with cannelinni beans and am so amazed at how good it tastes! I altered a recipe and am really shocked it's so good!

Here's how you make it, for those of you that are interested:

I took two small chicken breasts (skinless and boneless) and put oregano, thyme, rosemary, sage, salt, pepper, minced garlic ( I love garlic so I used two small cloves) and lemon in a dish and turned it around a few times to coat both sides. Then I drizzled on a little less than a tablespoon full of EVOO and tossed it again. I cut the chicken into chunks and put them in a frying pan over medium heat and let the one side slightly brown.

Then I cut up a half of a small red onion and put the onions in the pan ( I put them in the center of the chicken..I made a circle around the onions with the chicken basically) and turned the chicken.
I let that sit for two minutes and added a can of pre-cooked canellini beans.....I put some salt and pepper over them before mixing them in.

I mixed everything and let it sit for a minute..mixed again...1 minute...mix...1 minute....done! It's sooooo good too!

fh makes me make him chicken and beans almost everyday, actually chicken, shrimp and beans. I can't take it anymore hahaha but it is good for you

I know! This recipe really is so tasty...sometimes bean dishes can be so bland and pastey......I hope someone tries it and loves it too!

fh likes spanish rice and beans so thats what i usually make for him. However we're both on a diet so he doesn't want to eat rice but still eats the beans. Since were both on diets i dont add pork fat to the beans and just LOTS of onions, garlic and chicken bouillon. For the shrimp i cook it in EVOO...Heat up the pan then EVOO and minced garlic to saute for a bit, then i add the shrimp and squeeze lots of lemon on top. Now he'd probably kill me but weve been eating so healthy so a little bit of fat is ok but i then add a bit of margarine and white wine and then just a little bit of salt(sometimes) i usually stay away from salt and pepper. Which basically is shrimp scampi.

This week im telling him NONE of this though, im tired of eating i

sounds soooo good
FH is making dinner as we speak!

awesome! all good proteins!

i have a great recipe for tuna and white bean salad...from food network it was on giada's show a few summers ago. FH and i love it!
