40 g protein/600-calorie meal
(Divide into 3 servings.)
1 lb. Chicken breast tenders
Salt and pepper to taste
Small amount of flour for dredging
2 TBSP Olive oil
½ lb. Fresh mushrooms, thinly sliced
½ Small onion, halved and thinly sliced
2 Celery stalks, thinly sliced on a diagonal
 ¼ cup  Chicken broth
 ¼ cup Dry sherry or white wine
 ¼ cup Dried tarragon

Spread flour on a flat work surface. Dip chicken in flour on both sides, set aside, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat, then add oil. When hot, add chicken in a single layer and brown on one side. Turn chicken over, continue cooking until cooked through, about 6-7 minutes. Transfer chicken to a plate, cover to keep warm, and set aside.

Add mushrooms, onion and celery to skillet. Cook, stirring, until vegetables are tender, about 5-7 minutes. Add broth, sherry and tarragon, and raise heat to high. Cook and stir until sauce is reduced and thickened to a few tablespoons, about 2 minutes. Return chicken to the pan and stir gently to coat with the sherry glaze.

Suggestion: Complete your meal with a spinach salad and brown rice. See Meal Builder for amounts for your Plan.
