Easter-rific! NewMeMD 's hCG -Friendly Spinach Stuffed Steak Pinwheels

Happy spring, everyone! Our NewMeMD wellness team has the perfect dish for you using spirals of lean flank steak, encircling a luscious filling of spinach and sun dried tomatoes... 

It's perfect for a festive Easter meal but since it's also hCG -friendly, you'll love this easy recipe any day!             

hCG -Friendly Spinach Stuffed Steak Pinwheels

Ingredients

- 1.75 lbs. flank steak

- bag of baby spinach

- 1/2 cup sun dried tomatoes (coarsely chopped)

- 4 cloves garlic

- 4 tbsp flat leaf parsley

- fat-free chicken broth

- nutmeg

- ground sea salt

- ground black pepper

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350. 

2. Pound flank steak until 1/4-1/2" thick. Salt and pepper both sides.

3. In a food processor puree spinach, garlic and parsley with just enough chicken broth to create a paste. Then stir in the sun dried tomatoes.

4. Spread paste on one side of the flank steak. Sprinkle nutmeg sparingly.

5. Roll up flank steak and either tie with string or use toothpicks to secure. Make sure when you roll it up the fibers are lengthwise so that when you cut into it, it will be against the grain. Insert meat thermometer.

6. Place face down in pan and bake until meat thermometer reaches 160 degrees (for "medium" cooked steaks). If your steak isn't exactly 1.75 lbs., divide the total weight of the uncooked steak by 3.5 so you know how many portions it should be cut into.

Tomat-Ohhhhh! hCG -Friendly Garlic & Sun Dried Tomato Chicken

We know... eating chicken as part of your prescription hCG program can get boring for 30 days straight, especially if you're on a 500-calorie diet.

Luckily for you, our NewMeMD wellness team has some creative ways to cook chicken up our sleeves. Here's our newest hCG -friendly chicken recipe that's loaded with zesty garlic and savory sun dried tomatoes:

hCG -Friendly Garlic & Sun Dried Tomato Chicken

Ingredients
- 1 lb. boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut then into 4 oz. portions
- 1 tbsp. vegetable or olive oil
- 2 heads garlic, peeled (about 20 cloves)
- 1 medium white onion, cut in half from root to tip and sliced thin
- ½ cup sun dried tomatoes, chopped (not packed in oil)
- ¼ cup white wine
- ½ -3/4 cup chicken stock
- 1 tsp. dried oregano
- black pepper to taste

Directions
1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Rinse chicken under cold running water then pat dry. Crush 2 of the garlic cloves.
2. Place an oven-proof skillet over medium heat, and add some oil. Add the crushed garlic to the pan and place the chicken on top of the garlic. You can toss the remaining garlic cloves.
3. Cook chicken for about 8 minutes, then flip and cook the other side for about 4 more minutes.

5. Add onions and tomatoes over the caramelized garlic and cook for 3-4 minutes, then reduce heat and add the wine.

Greek Lightning: NewMeMD 's hCG -Friendly Mediterranean Stuffed Chicken

One of the most popular types of eating regimens out there today (the Mediterranean Diet) is derived from the eating habits of those inhabitants straight out of southern Europe-- in Greece... and probably because the food is so wonderfully filling & delicious.

In fact, you can cook up some great Greek grub right at home (that's hCG -friendly too). At just 210 calories per serving, this quick stuffed chicken recipe is a hassle-free, yet healthful dinner alternative... In fact, we at NewMeMD highly recommend it!

7. Stuff two tablespoons of bell pepper mixture into each pocket, then close each opening with a toothpick.
