A popular, satisfying easy to prepare dish; chicken whites can also be browned under preheated oven broiler until golden on bothe sides.
Marinade's Dijon mustard, lemon and herbs, which do not add lots of calories, give a rich flavorful taste to the chicken.
These chicken whites are excellent served along with an eggplant-tomato brown rice, a Pacific Coast broccoli-eggplant stir-fry...
During the summertime, this versatile dish is excellent served along with a Chardonnay, a Cabernet or a Zinfandel, as well as with a refresching Fume Blanc.
