I am not a glutton --I am an explorer of food-Erma Bombeck


Provencal Chicken Strips

2 tsp olive oil, skinless & boneless chicken breasts cut into 2 inch strips, 1 shallot finely chopped, 2 garlic cloves minced, chopped tomatoes, 2 tblsp parsley, 1 tblsp red wine vinegar, 1/4 tsp dried rosemary.

In large, non-stick skillet, heat the oil. Saute the chicken, stirring constantly for about 4 minutes. Add the shallot and garlic, stir frequently until the chicken is cooked through, about 2-4 minutes.
Stir in tomatoes, vinegar, parsley and rosemary. Reduce the heat and simmer until the liquid evaporates, about ten minutes. Serve the chicken mixture over pasta.

I found this uber easy recipe in a Weight Watchers cookbook owned by my roommate, so not only is this dish easy, but it's pretty good for you. It tasted yummy and chicken was so well flavored. I added a bit more rosemary and parsley than called for, so just season to taste.

To improve, I'd add more tomatoes next time.

With the amount of pasta I consume, I should really start eating whole grain pasta. Next time!
