Food fit for a king

Ok, ok point taken ... lol. Thankyou for all the lovely advice, have taken on board, no more negative thinking here anymore.

Finished my day exactly on points yesterday and even had enough to indulge on a frozen mars bar. That is one thing I love about the points program, you can have decadence like that without the guilt.

I also cooked a yum, yum recipe for dinner. Bill wouldn't believe me that it was a ww recipe. He said he just looked at the creamy sauce and figured I mustn't be eating healthy for dinner. It was one of the first meals I've had since being back on plan that didn't in any way seem healthy but was.

For those of you who want to try it, here it is ...

Chicken Bocaiola (serves 4 - each serve is 5.5pts)
(from the Pure Points recipe book)

• 3 rashers of bacon, trimmed of fat and rind, chopped
• 500g chicken breast fillets, skin removed, chopped
• 2 leeks sliced (I didn't have leeks so used 1 onion and 10 brussel sprouts instead)
• 1 tsp minced garlic
• 1 tbs flour
• 1 cup water
• 1 chicken stock cube
• 1/4 tsp wholegrain mustard
• 1/2 cup light sour cream
• 200g button mushrooms, chopped
• 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped (I didn't have these so omitted them)

1. Wrap bacon in absorbent paper and cook in microwave for 1 1/2-2 minutes until crispy. Drain on fresh absorbent paper.
2. Coat a pan with cooking spray, heat and cook the chicken until browned and tender. Remove the chicken from the pan. To the same pan stir in the leeks and garlic. Cook for a further 30 seconds.
3. Stir the flour into the leek mixture. Remove from the heat and stir in the combined water, stock cube and mustard. Return to the heat and cook until the mixture boils and thickens.
4. Return the chicken to the pan and stir in the sour cream, mushrooms, basil and bacon. Cook gently until heated through. Serve with point free vegetables or salad.

Delish!!!!
