Chicks in White Wine
From:	Jean-Claude B., Montreal, Quebec, Canada
Comments:	Oven: 700 watts Waiting time: 5 minutes An elegant, refined meal! To give the chicks an appetizing color, do not forget to brush the chicks with brown or barbecue sauce, once before cooking and once at half-time. Just before serving, chicks can be lightly sprinkled with paprika or microwave seasonings. For an elegant, out of the ordinary evening meal, first serve a hors d'oeuvre made of crab or smoked salmon, along with whole wheat crackers. Serve these chicks surrounded with mini mashed potato mounds, carrot sticks and sliced zucchinis: arrange 8 ounces [227 g] carrot sticks all around a serving plate, sprinkle with water, cover and microwave for 2 minutes on 'MAXIMUM'. Arrange 8 ounces [227 g] zucchini slices in the center of the serving plate, cover and microwave for 3 to 5 minutes, until tender. Leave to rest for 2 to 3 minutes before serving. For dessert, serve a fresh fruit salad.
