Recipe 3: Chicken and avacado with sweet pepper sauce 02/05/2013

Chicken with avocado with sweet pepper sauce.

I know I haven't made many items out of the cookbook yet - but this is one that will be in my FOR SURE to make again file.

300 calories per portion.

This came out of Chapter 10 - Cooking for Two.  I only made two portions per the recipe.

Simple but really delicious - Chicken Breast, reduced sodium chicken broth, garlic powder, pepper, bell pepper - any color (I used green), simply fruit apricot spread and 1/4 avacado.

Poached chicken is my favorite, so I looked forward to making this recipe.
The sweet pepper sauce I was apprehensive about. 

After poaching the chicken in the broth, garlic powder, pepper and bell pepper, you take the broth mixture and put it in a blender with the apricot spread and blend.
Cutting slices in the chicken you put a few slices of avocado on top of the chicken and then pour the sweet pepper sauce on top.

I made steamed broccoli to go with the chicken.(not shown in picture) 
I gave this a 9.  My husband was at a soccer game, so he had it re-heated and although he enjoyed it, he felt he didn't get the full experience.   So - we will just go with my rating on this one.

Stay tuned this week - I have scheduled to make Cheese Enchiladas, Pork Chips and Apples and Mini Meat Loaves
