Recipe(tried): Country French Chicken, Herb and Butter Noodles, Sugar Snap Peas for Lisa

Menus
Hi Lisa:-) I'm not sure that this will fit your definition of healthy but you can read the recipe and see what you think. The chicken does not have much fat in it but it does have wine. You would have to make several batches. The noodles do have butter but you do need something to keep them from sticking together. We really liked this when I made it. I did not make the Sugar Snap Peas. I think I made steamed green beans, and a salad. Good luck!

COUNTRY FRENCH CHICKEN
Recipe courtesy Rachael Ray
Yield: 4 servings

2 tablespoons (2 turns around the pan in a slow stream) extra-virgin olive oil
Coarse salt and pepper
2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breast, thighs, or combination of both, cut into chunks
2 tablespoons butter
2 shallots, chopped
3 small carrots, peeled and thinly sliced
10 creminis, finely chopped
4 sprigs fresh tarragon, leaves removed and chopped to about 2 tablespoons
A handful flat-leaf parsley leaves, chopped
1 cup dry red wine
1 (32-ounce) can chunky-style crushed tomatoes or diced tomatoes in puree
Herb and Butter Noodles, as an accompaniment
Sugar snap peas, as an accompaniment

In a large skillet over medium high heat, warm the olive oil. Season the chicken, brown it in the oil for 2 or 3 minutes on each side, and remove to a plate.

Return pan to stove and reduce heat to medium. Add butter to the pan and saute the shallots, carrots, and mushrooms. Saute for 3 to 5 minutes until mushrooms darken and carrot bits are fork tender. Add tarragon and parsley and stir. Add wine and reduce liquid for 1 or 2 minutes.

Add tomatoes to the sauce and stir to combine. Add chicken back to the pan and simmer chicken in sauce for 6 minutes or until chicken is cooked through and juices run clear.

Serve chicken with Herb and Butter Noodles and Sugar Snap Peas.


HERB AND BUTTER EGG NOODLES
Yield: 4 servings

1/2 pound extra-wide egg noodles,cooked until just tender, about 6 minutes
2 tablespoons butter, cut into small bits
2 sprigs fresh tarragon, leaves removed and chopped to about 1 tablespoon
A handful flat-leaf parsley leaves, chopped to about 2 tablespoons
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Toss the cooked egg noodles with butter bits and herbs in a bowl until butter melts, about 1 minute. Season noodles with salt and pepper.

Steamed Snap Peas
Yield: 4 servings

1 1/2 pounds snap peas, rinsed and drained
2 teaspoons butter
1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon (a couple of pinches) salt

Place snap peas in 1/2-inch boiling water with butter and a sprinkle of 1 teaspoon sugar. Reduce heat to simmer. Cover and steam snap peas 3 minutes. Remove cover and season snap peas with a little salt. Serve cooked snap peas with slotted spoon to allow for draining.
