This is the first GI Diet meal I have made in a couple of weeks. We were off on vacation and indulged ourselves in every delicacy that Nova Scotia had to offer, and there were lots. From fish burgers, lobster sandwiches and seafood chowder to scallops, muscles, and chow chow. (delicious pickled green tomatoes - not the dog!) All intentions I had of sticking to the diet and eating healthy while on vacation were thrown out the window on the first day and my husband and I both came back 5 pounds heavier. So we are anxious to get back on the GI Diet, lose the excess weight and feel better.
This dish is considered an Indian "stew". It is filled with apricots, raisins, herbs and spices. I found it to be quite watery for a stew but we enjoyed it anyhow. Overall the flavors were quite mild. This dish is very simple to prepare and only takes about 30 minutes on a low simmer to cook. The best thing about this dish was how tender and moist the boneless chicken breasts became. We could simple pull the meat apart with our forks.
SERVED WITH: I spooned this "stew" on a bed of brown rice
COOKING TIPS: The recipe says that the flavors get better with time so I made it up the night before. Overall I found the flavors to be milder then expected. I'll let you know if that changes when I eat the left overs at lunch tomorrow.
RATING: 7. While it tasted good I was expecting it to be more flavourful.
