Chicken with Banana-Curry Sauce

Serves 4
Prep time: 7 minutes, Cooking Time: 40 minutes

2 medium bananas, sliced
3/4 cup water
1/3 cup low-fat plain yogurt
1 Tbsp curry powder
2 tsp canola oil
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper, freshly ground
2 chicken breast halves (boneless & skinless)

1. Preheat the oven to 425°F. Spray a roasting pan with nonstick spray. Puree the bananas, 1⁄4 cup of the water, the yogurt, curry powder, oil, salt, and pepper in a food processor or blender.

2. Place the chicken in the roasting pan. Pour the curry mixture over the chicken. Roast until done, 30–35 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a platter; cover loosely with foil and keep warm.

3. Transfer the curry sauce into a small saucepan and heat over medium heat. Whisk in the remaining 1⁄2 cup water. Simmer, until heated through. Serve with the chicken.

Served with basmati rice and sugar snap peas.

Results: I know, I know...it sounds so weird, right? But this was so easy to make and actually pretty good. The banana flavor was a little over-powering of the curry, but I can't figure out what to tweak. Next time, I think I'll only use one banana and maybe add some cumin, coriander or cardamon to add a bit more curry flavor. Overall, everyone liked it, except for Steven. Henry ate all of his and said "mmmmmmm! Deee-licious!"

Baked Bananas

Recipe from Gina's Skinny Recipes

Saturday nights are dessert nights in our house!!!

For each serving:

1 banana
2 teaspoon honey
cinnamon

1. Preheat oven to 400°.

2. Peel and slice each banana in half lengthwise. Place in a glass dish. Sprinkle with honey and cinnamon.

3. Bake for 10-15 minutes. Serve with ice cream

Results: Obviously, NO ONE had any problems eating this! It was a simple and very, very easy dessert to make. I served with low-fat ice cream. Normally, I'm one of those girls who believe ice cream should be all fat, all the time. But I'm trying. We had Kroger light ice cream, Deluxe Churned Artisan Vanilla Bean and it was DELICIOUS! I never would have thought it was low-fat.

P.S. Sorry for the blurry picture. I was losing my light in the kitchen!
