Original Psycho Chicken


This recipe was published in Cooking Light, June 2002 issue. Posted by From member gremi and BMOS Delores @ Provida .com
  • 3 1/2 pound whole chicken
  • 1 1/2 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 Tbsp garlic, minced or pressed
  • 1 Tbsp cider or malt vinegar
  • Dry White wine
  • freshly ground pepper

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Clean chicken and remove giblets. Hack chicken all over with the tip of a sharp chef's knife to make gashes. (invariably, I find the music to the shower scene in Psycho running through my mind, thus the name, Psycho Chicken!)

In a small bowl, mix together thyme, garlic, pepper and vinegar, and slather liberally on chicken, taking care that mixture gets into slits in the meat. Place chicken on rack in roasting pan. (If you don't have a rack, no biggie, throw the thing directly into the pan) and roast about 2 hours until golden and fragrant, basting every twenty or thirty minutes with a splash of wine and any juices in the pan. Your house will smell wonderful.

Now, this is the crucial part, which will make or break the entire dish: If this is cooked properly, your chicken should be running with wonderful juices as you carve. Dredge each slice of carved meat in those juices before placing on platter--the juices are loaded with garlic and herb flavor

Final Comments:

Other Additions if you desire:
1 Can NSA Tomato Sauce (free)
4 cups Shreadded Cabbage (free)
Ground Turkey meatballs (I use 1/4 oz turkey meat and just make balls, no seasoning needed, and poach them in broth while it cooks) (Protein B)
Pinto beans or other beans you like or are allowed. (better added when preparing your meal to eat it) (Carb B)
NSA Chili Powder (this is a staple for me. I like it spicey and use 1 Tbsp) (free)
Any other Veggie that is in season...Zucchini or spinach.

Let you imagination go wild. Try different combinations.
I have made a new pot of this every Sunday for 12 weeks and never had it the same twice.

Notes:
**Cooking: I like to make the soup with the turkey meatballs. When I go to blend it I remove the meat. I then put them in a seperate container for serving later..
**To Eat: In a bowl I add 1 to 2 cups veggie Soup, 8 meatballs, and add eigher 1/2 cup of rice, diced boiled potatoes or pinto beans.
**It is a very thick and hearty soup and you may need to add some water to it to thin it if you like. I also like to add some hot pepper sauce to the soup when I eat it.

Dressings, Sauces and Condiment


Salad Dressing:

Balsamic Vinaigrette (emaxson)
12 oz. balsamic vinegar (can substitute raspberry vinegar)
5-6 cloves garlic, minced
2-1/2 Tbsp. Splenda
1 tsp. Grey Poupon Brown Country Mustard*
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Mix all ingredients together and store in fridge. This is a freebie.

*This is not really on program, but I have used it from the beginning. My original recipe called for 1 Tbsp. so I cut it back to 1 tsp. Also, this may be made with a really good raspberry vinegar. I find that the inexpensive ones are really too biting, but a good one will make a nice change for you. Be careful. Some vinegars, especially the gourmet ones, have sugar in them. This is also good on your chicken, baked potatoes, etc.



Balsamic Dressing1/3 cup balsamic vinaigrette (see above)
1/3 cup Splenda
½ tsp. maple flavoring
Grated peel of 1 orange

Mix dressing, Splenda, and flavoring in a large skillet; cook on medium heat until heated through. Store in airtight container. This is great on chicken, veggies, and even as a salad dressing.

dash paprika
1/2 tsp. chili powder
1/2 tsp. celery seed

2/3 cup ketchup (see below)

Place all ingredients into blender and mix. Store in jar in refrigerator. Note: This is a remake of a Catalina dressing recipe, omitting the salt and oil. It won’t have quite the same flavor, but will be close.

Mix all ingredients and simmer for about an hour or until sauce is desired thickness.

Sauces:


Caramelized Onion Relish (Good Housekeeping December, 2004) Adapted by emaxson and brown bear
Ingredients:
2-1/2 lb.s onions, cut into 3/4 inch pieces
2 teaspoons rosemary
2 Tablespoons balsamic or red wine vinegar

Directions:
· Caramelize onions in a large non-stick skillet over high neat, stirring often until they begin to brown or caramelize.
· Reduce heat to medium low and cook 45 minutes or longer, until onions are deep golden brown.
· Stir in rosemary and cook 10 more minutes.
· Remove from heat and stir in vinegar.
· Serve immediately or cover and chill for up to 2 days.


Fresh Salsa (Loves 2Write)
u can add more of any ingredient depending on taste. I like it a little hotter so depending on the heat of the pepper I may add more than one. I also prefer red onion. I just put everything in a blender and pulse until I reach the consistency we like.

Try to use Roma tomatoes if you can. They are more durable than hothouse tomatoes and hold up well in a salsa. If there is too much acidity in it (depends on tomatoes), add more sweetener. Basically just play with the ingredients until you get something that satisfies your taste buds.

You can also change the peppers (like to banana or habanero - your preference). Good luck!!

· 3 tbsp finely diced onion
· 1 lb Roma tomatoes - diced
· 1 finely chopped green jalapeno pepper
· 2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro
· sweetener to taste
· 1 tbsp fresh lime juice
Combine all ingredients and chill. Lasts 5 days in refrigerator.


Marinara sauce from Chef-B· 1 onion finely diced
· 4 to 6 med. tomatoes diced
· ½ green pepper diced
· 6 to 8 cloves garlic diced
· ½ stick celery finely diced
· 1 tsp sweet Basil
· 1 tsp oregano
· 1/8 tsp black pepper
· 1/8 tsp thyme
· ½ tsp rosemary
· 1 small can tomato paste (no salt added)

Sauté all vegetables in a pan; the juice from the veggies is plenty of moisture to cook with.
When onions become opaque, add the tomato paste; thin with water to desired thickness
Add 1 to 2 tsp splenda; simmer 5 min
This is wonderful by itself, but sometimes I make this into a one-dish meal. See note from Liz:

I brown a lb. of very lowfat (98% fat free)ground beef or ground turkey breast with the onions, garlic, green pepper and celery. Drain that when the meat is brown and then add the tomatoes and finish with the rest of the seasonings. ½ cup is a serving, which I now put over rice spaghetti or rice sticks (noodles). I also like my marinara sauce chunky, so I do not chop the veggies very fine. Also, I cook 1 lb. fresh mushrooms, sliced as I’m cooking the other veggies.

Mushroom Sauce (from Liz Maxson)
Ingredients:

· 1 lb. small white mushrooms, sliced
· 1 lg. onion sliced very thin
· 4-5 cloves garlic, minced.
· 1 cup NSA chicken broth or white wine
· 1 tsp. Mrs. Dash (your choice)
· 1/8 tsp. nutmeg (freshly grated is best!!)
· 2 tsp. arrowroot

Directions:

Sauté mushroom slices, onion slices and minced garlic in small amount of chicken broth, until mushrooms are tender and onion is clear. Add remaining chicken broth, Mrs. Dash, and nutmeg. Stir well. Add arrowroot and stir constantly until thickened. Refrigerate until ready to use.
Serve over beef, chicken, turkey, or pork. May also be mixed in with cooked rice for a mushroom rice side dish.


Hawaiian Sweet and Sour Sauce (before6)
· 8 oz NSA tomato sauce
· 6 oz unsweetened pineapple juice
· 1/4 cup white vinegar
· 3 tbsp Splenda (Original recipe called for 1 Tbsp., but I like it really sweet. Liz)
· 3 tsp arrowroot powder

Combine and cook over heat, stirring, until thickened. Do not boil. Serve over browned meatballs or chicken.



Poetic Kiss' Italian SauceFrom member Poetic Kiss: My Italian bones were aching for some real authentic Italian, particularly spaghetti sauce. So, I have created an original...what I and 10 of my friends think is a real taste of Italy.

· 14.5 oz canned no salt added diced tomatoes
· 2-8 oz cans no salt added tomato sauce
· 1/8 cup minced onion
· 1-1/2 tsp basil
· 1 tsp oregano
· 1 bay leaf
· 1-1/4 tsp fresh minced garlic
· 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
· 1/4 cup red wine (Burgundy is good)
· 1/2 tsp crushed red chili (the chili you sprinkle on pizza)
· 1 tsp onion powder
· 1/4 tsp Mrs. Dash
· 1/4 cup sliced portabello mushrooms (optional)

Put all ingredients into saucepan. Stir and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to just simmer. Continue to simmer uncovered for 30-40 minutes, letting flavors blend and sauce thicken. The longer you simmer, the thicker the sauce will get.

Serving idea: Sprinkle 1/2 cup cooked spaghetti squash, rice sticks (oriental foods) or rice spaghetti (specialty food stores) with 2 oz seasoned cooked ground turkey or beef. Cover with 1 ladle of sauce.



HOT SAUCE
(emaxson)
Ingredients
· 4-5 dried red peppers (the little finger sized ones); more if you want it really hot – I used 10
· 6 cloves of garlic
· 1 onion, chopped coarsely
· 1 large jalapeno pepper, seeded and roughly chopped
· 2 cans no-salt-added diced tomatoes
· Juice of 2 limes
· 2 tsp. Splenda

Directions:
Remove stems from dried peppers. Toss into blender and chop. Add remaining ingredients and process until thoroughly mixed. Makes slightly more than 1 quart. Refrigerate. Should be used within a week.



Sweet and Sour Sauce from Lynn P.· 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar (I used organic)
· 1 Tablespoon brown sugar twin or to taste
· 1/2 teaspoon rosemary (I crushed mine in a mortar)
· 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
· 1/4 teaspoon pepper (I used red pepper flakes, I like it spicy)


I mixed all ingredients in the crockpot and placed the meat in it and let it cook until the meat is done. I thought about trying it with rice or chicken, maybe next time.
Hawaiian Sweet and Sour Sauce (before6 )
8 oz NSA tomato sauce
6 oz unsweetened pineapple juice
1/4 cup white vineger
1 tbls. Splenda
3 tsp arrowroot


I made two batches of sauce and added pineapple to one batch. The one without pineapple I eat for my main meals over rice and the one with pineapple I eat for my snack. This would also be great over chicken.

Strawberry-Raspberry Sorbet (gabbiee04)

1/3 Cup of Water
3 TBLS of Splenda
½ tsp Lemon Juice
6 oz Raspberries (fresh)
1 lb Strawberries (fresh)

In a small saucepan, combine water, Splenda and lemon juice. Bring to a boil over med heat; boil 1 minute. You should have about ¼ cup of liquid after you boil. Cool to room temperature, about 15 minutes.
Roughly cut up strawberries put in food processor with raspberries and puree. Press through sieve to remove seeds. Add Splenda mixture and process until blended.
I measured it into small custard cups in 2 ¼ ounce servings*, put plastic wrap on them and put them in the freezer till frozen 2-4 hours. Made approx 6 servings
You could actually omit the water and Splenda in this recipe if your body doesn’t do well on Splenda. Just puree the fruit with lemon juice if desired and measure it into cups and freeze like above.

* Side Note; I measured out ½ Cup of the fruit roughly chopped and processed it and after it was processed it equaled = 2 ¼ ounces.

Sharon's Scrumptious Sausage & Veggie Omelette
I small chopped sweet onion (vadalia if you have them)
4 oz sliced mushrooms
2 oz. Susans Turkey Sausage
2 egg whites
Any seasons you may wish to add (the sausage is enough for me)
Diced tomatoes and tomato sauce (optional)
Saute onions and mushrooms until onions are carmelized. (this gives them a wonderful sweet flavor)
Add pre cooked sausage to mixture just to get sausage warm. Add any additional seasonings you may want to add.........I think the sausage makes it spicy enough.
Beat egg white until frothy (I generally add a touch of water also) Pour into omelette pan. Add mushroom, onion, sausage mixture and allow to set until firm enough to flip. ( I like my eggs cooked well so I flip like a pancake and allow other side to cook and then fold it like an omelette)
After adding mixture to omelette I use that same saute pan and heat up some NSA diced tomatos in a bit of NSA tomato sauce. When omelette is done, I plate it and pour the hot tomatoes over top.
This will make a rather large omelette and it serves two. I cut mine in half and eat one half for breakfast with some OP "fried" potatoes and save the other half for my MMS to eat with a fruit.
This omelette is good for all body types as your protien selection.

Healthy Gourmet’s Chicken Marengo (member gremi)
Recipe Introduction
With only a minute tweak, this recipe comes to us from Susan's
Healthy Gourmet. Though I think this dish might benefit from a
sprinkle of basil on the chicken and a bit of chopped garlic sauted
along with the mushrooms, I've written it up more or less as it was
published, for the benefit of those of you who really aren’t crazy
about garlic.

List of Ingredients
* 4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts, about 6 ounces each
* 2 tablespoons dry sherry
* 1 ½ cups nsa chicken broth
* 1 ½ cups fresh mushrooms, sliced
* 1 tablespoon arrowroot
* 1 tablespoon nsa tomato paste
* 1 bay leaf
* 2 tablespoons chives, chopped
* 1/8 teaspoon pepper, freshly ground
* 3 Roma tomatoes, chopped in large chunks
* 2 cups cooked brown rice
Recipe
Sear chicken breasts in preheated skillet (preferably not non-stick).
Remove from heat and place in shallow baking dish. Pour sherry over chicken and cover with aluminum foil. Bake until tender, 20 to 30 minutes, or until internal temperature is 165 degrees
Add 1/4 cup chicken broth to skillet and saute mushrooms until tender.
Remove and save. In a small bowl, combine arrowroot with 1 tablespoon water, stirring until smooth to make a slurry. Set aside. Add remaining chicken broth to skillet along with tomato paste, bay leaf, chives and pepper. Simmer 15 minutes. Remove bay leaf. Add mushrooms and chopped tomatoes and simmer another 5 minutes. Stir in arrowroot slurry.
Pour mixture over chicken breasts and brown rice.

* 1/4 cup white wine vinegar
* 1 tablespoon pepper sauce
* 1 teaspoon dried thyme
* 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
* 1/2 teaspoon freshly-ground black pepper.

Recipe
In a blender, combine the water, ginger, chili peppers, onions,

Thread the meat onto metal skewers. (if using bamboo skewers, be sure to soak them in water for about 15 minutes before use.) Reserve the marinade, transfer to a saucepan and bring to a full boil. Keep warm over low heat. Grill or broil the chicken, until cooked through, about 5 minutes per side. Serve the boiled marinade as a sauce.

* Variation: You may replace the chicken with cubes or strips of
turkey breast, pork tenderloin or flank steak, or use bone-in chicken pieces. Adjust the cooking time accordingly.

Diet Coke Chicken
List of Ingredients
1-1/2 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 onion, sliced
1 bell pepper, sliced
1/2 cup steamed mushrooms
2 cloves garlic, minced
12 oz can diet coke (has a little less sodium than 7 up)
1 cup of Ketchup (plan friendly of course!! recipe/link see below)
Ketchup
1 6 oz can nsa tomato paste
2 Tbsp granulated Splenda, or about 3 packets
3/4 cup water
1/2 cup white vinegar
1/4 tsp onion powder
1/8 tsp garlic powder
Note: you do not need to make the Ketchup in advance for the dish, just add the ingredients. I also only use 1/2 of the vinegar,
otherwise it seems a little to tart for my taste You can also cut out some of the Splenda, the coke seems to add enough sweetness
Recipe I usually brown the chicken first in a non stick pan then transfer it into a larger pot and add the rest of the ingredients. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and let simmer until chicken falls apart (about 1 1/2 hours, the longer the better).
You can serve this over rice or make your own french fries. This
always make me feel like I am having "junk food" without the guilt
Put as many free veggies in it as you like, the messurements are only a guideline!!
You could also put everything in a slow cooker in the am and have a delicious meal to come home to in the evening.
