"This is another recipe I was given at a Weight Watcher's meeting. It is very tasty and has remained a favorite of ours. Recipe is for 1 person - but can easily be increased to the number you are serving."

I agree with Merlot...this is a recipe that even though you are sacrificing calories, you aren't sacrificing taste. I doubled the recipe for my family and added one more clove of garlic as well. The lemon and wine give it a nice flavor! Thanks for sharing this great recipe! Kristen
