Chicken and wild rice with Spinach

This week I started tracking calorie intake, which is part of why I created my Skinny Banana Cookies.

So for dinner last night I wanted something I could easily track calorically. So I made:

Chicken and Wild Rice with Spinach

I added the full carton of Chicken Broth into a medium pan. (20 cal)

• Season broth to your taste, bring to a boil! Here’s what I used

• While that’s coming to a boil, chop 1/2 an onion add to a sauté pan.

• Slowly brown onions, no oil!

• Cut chicken breast in half then split pieces. (220 cal)

• Add to pan with onions and season.

• By now the broth should be boiling, to your broth pan, Add 1 C Wild Rice.(640 cal)

• Brown chicken until cooked, deglaze pan with a little white wine

• Chop chicken, and re-add to pan.

• Shred and add some spinach

•When your rice is done, you can put your chicken on your rice or mix it into the rice.

Enjoy!

Next time I will double the spinach, I LOVE sautéed spinach.

Split for 2 = 440 calories per serving.
