Ever since being told that I possibly could have PCOS I have been doing a ton of research online, reading books, and just getting myself educated on the condition. One of the biggest thing that everyone pushes is the diet. So I bought Glycemic Index Cookbooks and have been trying some of the recipes out.
I tried faux-potatoes because sadly I am not allowed to eat white potatoes any more (including french fries... I could die!) so I tried making the cauliflower potatoes. What a joke that was. They were not smooth enough and we added way too much fresh diced garlic and they tasted nasty. Scratch those off my list. We also tried Chicken Verde which was really good. All it needed was some tortillas... also which I can not have. Either way I would make it again and it is pretty simple to make.
Chicken Verde
1/2 cup cilantro
3 cups chopped onions
1 tsp. minced garlic
1 (10 oz) can tomatillas
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
2 TB. butter
2.5 Lbs diced chicken
1. Combine cilantro, onions, garlic, tomatillas (drained, set aside juice), salt and pepper in a food processor fitted with a chopping blade. Process until smooth. Add reserved tomatilla liquid and process until well blended.
2. In a large skillet over medium heat, heat butter and brown chicken pieces. Pour the cilantro sauce over chick and simmer, covered, about 1 hour, or until chicken is tender.
