Tarragon Chicken Dr. Tina Marcantel
One source tells us that during the Middle Ages "there was a wide-spread belief that the herb tarragon could not only ward off serpents and dragons, but could also heal snake bites." We don't recommend this meal to get rid of rattlers, but a variety of vegetables combined with the wonderful flavor of tarragon makes this main dish both healthy and tasty.
1 medium sized chicken 1 small can pimentos 1/4 cup canola oil 1/4 cup whole wheat flour 1 cup chopped onion 1/2 cup celery 1 cup chopped bell pepper seasoning 1 cup fresh mushrooms 1/2 teaspoon tarragon 1 small can tomato paste brown rice
Cut up and pan fry chicken until brown. Stir in flour. Let brown, then add water to make gravy. In another pan brown onions, bell pepper, and celery, then add tomato paste, mushrooms, seasonings, and tarragon. Add this to chicken and gravy. Bake 30 minutes at 350 degrees. Serve over brown rice.
Low-Carb Enchiladas Dr. Tina Marcantel
The whole wheat tortillas used in this recipe contain 8 grams of fiber each. (I like to use South Beach Diet brand tortillas.) 1/2 dozen whole wheat low-carb tortillas 1 28 oz. can enchilada sauce* 1 lb lean ground beef 1 large can black olives 1/2 cup finely chopped onions 1 small can diced green chile peppers 2 cups shredded cheese
*I use Las Palmas enchilada sauce because it contains no corn starch. Be sure to read the ingredients; corn starch or sugars add carbohydrates!
Brown beef and drain fat. Sautee onions until browned. Dip tortillas in sauce to soften. Stuff tortillas with beef, cheese, olives, onions, and peppers. Roll and place seam down in baking pan. Pour any remaining sauce and olives in pan. Top with remaining cheese. Bake 15 minutes at 350 degrees. If desired, add a dollop of fat-free sour cream to each enchilada.
