I tried this recipe tonight, it is really nice, I got it from the July BodyFit Magazine. I made a few changes because I always do but will post the recipe as is

Serves 4

Ingredients:
550g carrot sticks
550g halved mangetout
200g egg noodles
salt and pepper
4 skinless chicken breasts
4 tbsp oil
2-3 tbsp sesame seeds
2 tsp freshly grated ginger root
100ml vegetable stock
75ml soy sauce
2 tbsp chilli paste
pinch sugar

1. Blanch the carrots and mangetout in boiling water for three minutes. Drain, refresh in cold water and drain again. Cook the noodles and drain well.

2. Season the chicken. Heat two tbsps of oil in a pan and fry the chicken on each side. Coat with sesame seeds and when cooked, remove from the pan.

3. To make the dressing, mix the ginger with the remaining oil, veg stock, chilli paste, soy sauce and pinch of sugar. Mix this with the noodles and vegetables in a bowl. Slice the chicken and serve it in bowls on top of the veg and noodle mixture.

My changes:

I made one serving instead of 4, so divided everything by 4.

I omitted the oil. I sliced the chicken breast before cooking it and 'fried' it in spray oil with a tsp of sesame seeds. For the dressing I used 1 tsp of sesame oil instead for my one serving.

I also used dry ginger as didn't have fresh and I used a pinch of splenda instead of sugar.

Unfortunately there is no nutritional info listed with the recipe so you'll have to figure out the checks for each item but that should be easy peasy smile.gif.

With your changes, I have worked it out to be around 15 cxs (14.5 actually but I prefer to round up).

Feel free to correct me if I am wrong smile.gif

That would be about right rosie biggrin.gif Add or minus a few checks depending on amt of noodles or chicken!
