Dijon-Dill Chicken and Noodles

I found this recipe yesterday and was pleasantly surprised! I really enjoyed it and it reminded me of a dish I used to have at Thanksgiving Point.

Egg noodles (1 1/2 oz)
4 oz boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into thin bite-size strips
1/2 cup chopped onion (1 medium)
1 can Chicken Broth
Handful of frozen carrots (or use one can Progresso® Light vegetable and noodle soup)
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1/8 teaspoon dried dill weed
2 cups fresh broccoli florets OR asparagus
1 oz fat-free cream cheese (Optional: to make it creamier)

  • In 12-inch nonstick skillet, cook chicken and onion over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, until onion is tender and chicken just begins to brown.
  • Stir in soup, mustard and dill weed. Heat to boiling.
  • Stir in noodles; return to boiling. Reduce heat to medium; cover and cook 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Add broccoli or asparagus; cook uncovered 4 minutes longer, stirring frequently, until vegetables are crisp-tender. Stir in cream cheese until well blended.

    Chicken Lettuce Wraps

    Ideal Protein program can have some amazing meals, and most of them are really easy. This one is one of my favorites and it's really healthy AND yummy!

    2 TBSP Olive oil
    2-3 chicken breasts
    1 cup bean sprouts
    1-2 cups mushrooms
    1/2 cup green onion
    2 cup zucchini
    1 TBSP minced garlic
    Iceberg Lettuce

    Chop chicken and all vegetables into pea-sized pieces. Brown chicken in olive oil then add vegetables. Cook down until 3/4th done and then add stir-fry sauce. 

    Stir Fry:
    2 TBSP soy sauce
    1 TBSP Splenda (or your choice of sweetener. If choose to use sugar, use only 1/2 TBSP)
    1/2 tsp rice vinegar

    Dipping Sauce:
    1/4 cup Splenda (or 1/8 c sugar)
    1/2 cup water
    2 TBSP soy sauce
    2 TBSP rice vinegar
    2 TBSP tomato paste
    1 TBSP lemon juice
    1/8 tsp sesame oil
    1-2 tsp garlic
    10 drops Tabasco sauce

    Mix dipping sauce in separate bowl.  Cut out the core of the head of lettuce and place on table. Take a piece of lettuce and put the meat & vegetable mixture inside. Wrap up and dip in dipping sauce.

    *I highly recommend using Splenda or another artificial sweetener because it tastes just as good as real sugar but no calories. But if you don't have Splenda, use only half the measurement of sugar.
