Filed under: Recipe Rehab with Tanya Zuckerbrot , Diet & Weight Loss , Nutrition & Supplements Tanya Zuckerbrot Fried chicken is a popular Southern comfort food , but the battered coating could add a little too much comfortable padding around your waistline . Traditionally, chicken legs –never skinless — are battered and then fried in hot oil to create a crispy outer coating. This creates a dish that contains upwards of 400 calories and 22 grams of fat, not including any side dishes you may have with it. But, it is possible to make this famous chicken dish with skinless chicken as you will see in my rehab. My lightened up version can’t be called “fried chicken” because I’m actually going to remove the majority of the fat content and bake it. With a mixture of seasonings in my bread crumb coating, you won’t miss the flavor of all that fried oil clinging to the outer layer of this baked chicken. At 220 calories per serving, this is a more reasonable main course for your family . Ingredients 1 pound skinless chicken legs (drumsticks and thighs) Marinade 1 cup non-fat buttermilk 1 garlic clove, crushed 1 tablespoon reduced-sodium soy sauce Coating 3/4 cup whole wheat breadcrumbs 1/2 teaspoon black pepper 1/2 teaspoon thyme 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder 1/2 teaspoon onion powder Related Stories Chicken Salad Recipe Chicken Enchiladas Recipe Chicken Pot Pie Recipe Instructions 1. In a large bowl combine the buttermilk, crushed garlic, and soy sauce. Stir to mix. Add the chicken and turn to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 2-4 hours. 2. When the chicken has finished marinating prepare baking sheet by spraying with non-stick cooking spray and preheat oven to 375

Filed under: Recipe Rehab with Tanya Zuckerbrot , Diet & Weight Loss , Nutrition & Supplements Photolibrary Most definitions of shrimp scampi describe the dish as large shrimp sauteed in butter and garlic. Sounds delish but definitely not very healthy since the amount of butter used is usually nearly one half cup per pound of shrimp! Despite its high cholesterol content, shrimp is a good source of omega-3 fatty acids and is a great lean protein source. No wonder it is one of the most popular seafood choices. In my rehab, I will omit the butter altogether and saute the shrimp in a little bit of heart-healthy olive oil. To add flavor, I will season the dish with lemon juice and white wine. Adding dark green spinach allows me to slip in a little of this fantastic superfood , which is rich in vitamin A, K, folate and illness-fighting flavonoids. In order to round out the dish, I will spice it up with some fresh parsley and serve it with high-fiber, whole-wheat pasta. The trick is to make sure the pasta doesn’t dominate the dish, so keep in mind the recommended 1/2-cup portion size. Ingredients 4 ounces whole-wheat linguini 1 tablespoon olive oil 6 cloves minced garlic 6 green onions, sliced 1 pound large shrimp 10 ounces frozen spinach 1/4 cup dry white wine 2 tablespoons lemon juice 1 tablespoon lemon zest 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley Related Stories Recipe Rehab: Seafood Gumbo Recipe Rehab: Calzones Recipe Rehab: Eggs Benedict Instructions 1. Cook pasta according to directions on the box. 2. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add olive oil. Add garlic, green onions and shrimp, and cook until shrimp starts turning pink. Add spinach and continue to cook until the spinach has cooked through. 3. Add white wine and lemon juice and cook until most of the liquid has evaporated. Remove from heat and sprinkle with lemon zest and parsley. 4. Serve with 1/2-cup pasta per serving.
