Lighten Up! NewMeMD 's Meyer Lemon Chicken Piccata

Our NewMeMD wellness team freshens up traditional chicken piccata by ditching the flour and using Meyer lemons for the sauce, which have are sweeter and less acidic than regular lemons.  

Ingredients
- 2 (8 oz.) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves 
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
- 1/3 cup sauvignon blanc or other crisp, tart white wine 
- 1/2 cup fat-free, lower sodium chicken broth
- 1/3 cup fresh Meyer lemon juice (about 3 lemons)
- 2 tablespoons capers, rinsed and drained
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley


Directions
1. Split chicken breast halves in half horizontally to form 4 cutlets. Place each cutlet between 2 sheets of heavy-duty plastic wrap; pound each cutlet to 1/4-inch thickness using a meat mallet or small heavy skillet. Sprinkle cutlets evenly with salt and pepper. 

2. Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 cutlets to pan and sauté 2 minutes. Turn cutlets over; sauté for 1 minute. Remove the cutlets from pan. Repeat the procedure with remaining 1 tablespoon butter and 2 cutlets.

3. Add wine to pan and bring to a boil, scraping pan to loosen browned bits. Cook for 1 minute or until liquid almost evaporates. Stir in chicken broth; bring to a boil. Cook until broth mixture is reduced to 2 tablespoons (about 4 minutes). Stir in juice and capers. Serve over chicken. Sprinkle with parsley.

4. Serve and enjoy eating waistline-friendly (makes 4 servings)!

 Vietnamese Chicken Salad with Miracle Noodles

Ingredients
For the Dressing:
- 3 serrano peppers
- 4 cloves garlic
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 4 tablespoons fish sauce
- 6 tablespoons lime juice
- 3 tablespoons coconut oil

For the Salad:
- 1 lb. boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 6 oz. Miracle Noodles
- 4 large carrots, peeled
- 8-10 full leaves of green cabbage
one large handful of each -- cilantro leaves, mint leaves, and green onions

Directions
Dressing: Thinly slice the Serrano peppers and set aside. Pulse all the remaining dressing ingredients in a food processor until smooth. Stir in the sliced Serrano.

Chicken: Bring a large pot of water to boil over high heat. When the water reaches a rolling boil, add the chicken breasts, turn heat off and cover with a tight-fitting lid. Let the chicken cook for 25-30 minutes (while it's cooking, you can prep the other ingredients). Remove from water, let cool slightly and shred with two forks. Pour a small amount of the prepared dressing on the chicken to give it flavor and set aside or refrigerate until ready to use.

Noodles: Rinse the Miracle Noodles well while they are in a colander and dry well. You will want to absorb any extra water with a paper or kitchen towel. Enjoy as many noodles as you desire because they have zero carbohydrates and zero calories!

Veggies: Cut the carrots into pieces and pulse in a food processor for 10-15 seconds until finely chopped. Shred the cabbage. Mince the cilantro, mint and green onions.

Assembly: Toss the chicken, noodles, vegetables and remaining dressing together (to taste). Serve immediately and enjoy eating hCG -friendly!
