Low Calorie, Quick and Delish, Coq au Vin by Skinny Kitchen with Nancy Fox

This is a wonderful low calorie and low fat version of the French classic. It’s so easy and straightforward. I’ve served it many times and everyone loves it.

Chicken with Roasted Red Pepper & Chipotle Rice

Chicken with Roasted Red Pepper & Chipotle Rice by Salad Foodie

Starting with a recipe that won a contest sponsored by the USA Rice Federation, I took the liberty to substitute chicken for the original recipe’s fish (see “Useful Links” below for the Tilapia version.)
