Sometimes the best chicken recipe is not only totally healthy, but it is also fast, easy to make and will have your family coming back for a second helping !

The following chicken recipe is for those people who are health conscientious and watching how much fat they take into their routine diet.

If using frozen chicken breasts: this chicken recipe is best when a frozen skinned chicken ****** has been thawed slowly in cold water or even in the refrigerator. The meat seems to stay more firm and keeps in its moisture much better than if you defrost the chicken in a microwave or even at room temperature. Fresh chicken ******* can also be used.

Now onto the rest of the chicken recipe.

Choose as many chicken ******* as you wish to serve.

Slice a fresh lemon in half. Rub the lemon all over the *******. (note: one lemon will be sufficient for about 4 medium-sized breasts)

Wrap the ******* in tin foil and place them on a baking sheet.

Bake in a moderate oven until done – depending upon the size of your ******* – it should not be more than 35 to 40 minutes.

Remove from oven, and put the chicken ******* into a baking dish or platter that you would like to serve them on.

Making the sauce for this chicken recipe is fast, easy and flavorful. All you will need is a couple of medium-sized onions, four or five tomatoes, some cilantro and/or oregano, three our four garlic cloves, olive oil, mushrooms if you like, and black olives – also optional.

Just dice it all up, add the oregano or cilantro and garlic to your specific tastes and you are done.

Cover the chicken ******* with your freshly made sauce and serve with a freshly steamed vegetable of your choice.

That is all there is to this chicken recipe if you want completely healthy and no fat or carbs to speak of.

If you would like to add a few carbs, then prepare some angel hair pasta and place the baked chicken ******* and sauce over the angel hair and sprinkle with a bit of parmesan cheese.

As a note, you can alter this chicken recipe in a multitude of ways. The main thing to keep in mind when you do alter it is to focus on keeping the chicken recipe fat free and completely healthy.

Try to avoid making sauces out of dairy products. If you should choose to make a sauce that has dairy products as a part of its ingredients, then to minimize your fat intake, try to avoid butter and sour cream, or minimally go with a light sour cream.

The idea behind this chicken recipe is to help you eat a delicious dinner while still eating healthy.

As a note, there are some excellent chicken soup and fried chicken recipes on the web as well, so if this one doesn’t hit your taste buds tonight, then consider a good chicken soup or fried chicken meal for your family.

 

 

Not many people know that counter tops can be painted. For approximately $100 in paint supplies you can create the look of granite or marble very easily and quickly. You do not have to be a master painter by any means but you do have to be careful what you use and of course the surface has to be prepared to paint.  I created the a unique painting process called Countertop Transfauxmations and it proved to be so successful and a great way to save on a huge kitchen remodel that I made a DVD to teach you how to do this yourself.

 

Over the years, I have faux painted so many different Formica countertops. Just about every color, from dark purple and yellow to light green with sparkles. Even textured Formica.  My process covers every color Formica and will also cover nicks, chips burns and scratches.

(Feel free to look at the wonderful before and after pictures my customers have sent in to my website, www.byyoullc.com )

 

This is a four step process that can be completed in about a weekend. As you are using regular paint, your color options are limitless and for the biggest concern of all, this is extremely durable. In fact, the countertop in my own kitchen was refinished three and a half years ago and it is still in the same condition as when I first did it. I painted the counter top a beautiful faux granite. I started out with a dark brown base and added beige, bronze and white. I painted the dark wood cabinets white, changed the hardware and we later changed the sink and stove to white. It is a great kitchen and very workable so for us, there is no need to change it. Our three children were three, (twins) and five years old when the counters were refinished and they have really held up to family wear and tear…not to mention the parties and gatherings at our home.

 

Countertop Transfauxmations was featured on The Rachael Ray Show earlier this year in a quick budget kitchen makeover.  I have heard so many times, “This is too good to be true.” But you can see for yourself at www.byyoull.com.

 

I know this might be a little nerve wrecking for some so with your DVD demo. I provide a full color manual to keep with you while you work so you will not forget the details. There is also a full shopping list of materials, which you can buy at most paint stores. I am always happy to answer questions so feel free to email me at michaela@countertoptransfauxmations.com

 

Happy painting and I wish you much luck selling your home.
