Do you know the calories in this recipe? Looks delicious and I would love to make it, but I am counting my calories so if it’s too high it’s a no go ):
Cindy says:
What veggies did you use?
Christine McMichael replied:
Hi, Cindy! I used radishes and green beans for this recipe 🙂 But you are welcome to use whatever you love!
Danny Levy says:
When you write “cook the chicken over medium heat” should I use olive oil, spray the pan with oil, a little ketchup and mustard sauce, could you please be a little more specifi for us beginners?
Christine McMichael replied:
Absolutely, Danny! Haha sorry about that! Personally, I like to use a little bit of spray coconut oil in the pan and then turn up the heat to medium. When I start seeing ripples in the oil, I add the chicken and cook it for about 10 minutes on each side (time varies with stoves and pans). If you don’t like the taste of coconut oil, olive oil should work great, too! Enjoy the recipe!
