Savory Chicken Saute. Rosemary and tarragon add flavor to this South Beach Diet-inspired recipe.
Savory Chicken Saute, simple and succulent.
Don here, telling you about a South Beach Diet-inspired chicken recipe, Savory Chicken Saute. I think savory means robustly delicious, and cooked with interesting spices. This meal was prepared with dried tarragon (affiliate link) and rosemary leaves. Dried spices are more flavorful than fresh. You need less dried than you would need fresh. Using fresh spices makes the flavoring a little more subtle.
I would have used fresh herbs in this recipe if they were available, but dried spices work fine. Our tarragon and rosemary are not producing at this time of year, but both plants come back to life in the spring if the winter isn't too harsh. Which herbs winter over for you?
The idea for this recipe came from The South Beach Diet by Arthur Agatston, MD (affiliate link). Great diet for me. I can lose about 5 pounds a week during the first two weeks and with discipline, keep it off for a while. It is like a mix of the Mediterranean Diet, the Keto Diet and the Eat Clean Diet. What's your favorite diet?
