Lighter fare for a lighter you.

e've filled our plates at buffets from
Thanksgiving through New Year's and eaten
until we've found ourselves groaning. All this
holiday food was washed down with caloric beverages. Now
comes the sobering post-holiday guilt and regret.
Our clothes are tighter. Our shoes are tighter. Our faces
actually look puffy, and we feel tired. In short, we've had it
(and by "we:' I mean "me"!).
Now is the time to get back to ingesting healthy foods.
Still not ready to cut back from decadence to celery sticks,
it's best to rethink, reformulate and redefine our menus with
healthier foods that are both delicious and beneficial. I I

SAUTEED BALSAMIC
CHICKEN AND MUSHROOMS
2 Tbsp. olive oil
6 small boneless and skinless chick-
en breasts (about 2 lbs.)
kosher salt and pepper to taste
1 1/2 pounds sliced fresh mushrooms
2 tsp. minced garlic
1 /3 cup balsamic vinegar
1 cup chicken broth
1 Tbsp. dried parsley flakes
1 Tbsp. capers
Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over
medium-high heat until hot. Add the
chicken (seasoned with salt and pepper
to taste), and saute on both sides until
lightly browned (about 6 minutes). Add
the mushrooms and the garlic to the pan,
and cook until the mushrooms give up
their liquid. Add the vinegar, broth, pars-
ley and capers, and bring to a boil. Cover,

Remove the chicken to a plate, and
cover with foil to keep warm. Continue
cooking the mushrooms until the liquid is
reduced by half.
Serve the chicken topped with the
mushrooms and drizzled with the sauce. -

3 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
kosher or finely ground sea salt to
