chicken soup

366to266

Wanna lose 100lb
Just had this for breakfast.


Ingredients

one 200g chicken breast, marinated for 24 hours in herbs, garlic, ginger and olive oil
1 packet Knorr chicken and leek soup
1 packet Waitrose chicken noodle slimming soup (I put this in because I just want to use it up - it's horrible on its own but I don't want to throw it away)
fresh coriander, parsley and dill, all finely chopped
Sprinkle of pepper and paprika


The above makes 1 litre of soup, of which I had half, with:

one slice of 58 calorie Warbuton's wholemeal bread, toasted and diced into croutons

Calories for one mug (half a litre) = 332.


This breakfast contains plenty of protein, B vitamins, calcium and is packed with flavour. The chicken is really moist and tender and flavoursome.

Next time I might swap the Knorr soup for chicken stock cubes, maybe cut calories back even more.
 
My favourite recipe from my diet (Calorie counting) is this one: stir fried prawns with noodles

100gr prawns
62
65gr noodles100
cooked green beans
30
10 gr cashew nuts
50
red pepper30
minced garlic
minced ginger
shake of chilli flakes
squeeze honey40
soy sauce
The trick I use is low cal spray for frying and once the veg (onion,garlic, red pepper, mushroom) are beginning to fry and before the veg starts to catch on the bottom of the pan, add a dash of water (not too much) and put a lid on the pan.
The chilli flakes, ginger, honey & soy sauce are added and once the veg is cooked add the cooked prawns and continue to cook until the prawns are heated through. Scatter with roughly chopped nuts for added texture. Serve with cooked noodles and green beans.
312 calories only and really makes a filling plateful! I often add other veg and serve with brocolli or whatever veg I have in fridge.
Hope you like it. xx
