Pan-Fried Glazed Chicken With Basil - Ww
"I was just about to post this recipe and one other came up as nearly the same, although that one is broiled and missing the olive oil. It is a very good dish and the sauce works well with rice. I should try it broiled too, but I don't know if the pan sauce would be as good without the catch from the chicken. The original WW recipe is this one, plus 2 tbs olive oil. This is WW POINTS: 4 Exchanges: 3 Very Lean Meat."

This just didn't do it for me or for my husband. We tried it with pasta and it still didn't help. -
This chicken tastes great and is so simple to prepare. A few ingredients that pack a lot of flavor! -
I was very pleasantly surprised. This was quite tasty and gets extra points for being both easy and WW friendly. I used thin-sliced chicken breasts and dried basil. (Thought I had fresh but was mistaken.) It was fine with the dried basil. Thanks for sharing. -
Quick, tasty and really easy to make. Tonight we served with chips, salad and garlic bread. Love the flavour the basil brings to the sauce. -
I used boneless skinless chicken thighs that were defrosted in the fridge. I omitted salt and pepper. I had only dried basil. It was great. Even DH loved it. He told me it was not too sweet (he doesn't like when it's too sweet). All family loved this. I'll have to try with fresh basil. Thanks Jess. Made for Gimme 5 tag game.

Did you know that you can type in the degree symbol ° by holding down the Alt key and typing 248? Go ahead try it, I'll wait. Cool eh?
Just a note to anyone making my recipes. If you have taken pictures of them, please feel free to post them right away. I love seeing what others come up with and want them all posted.
Also, I am VERY slow to return Zmails. I'm sorry, but that's just how I roll. I will of course answer you if you have questions, but it might take a day.
Thanks! :)

I am also very glad to say that Jesus Christ is my Lord and Savior. I see His blessings in my everyday life. I am married to the love of my life and we've been together about 10 years. I always follow the rule of Faith first, Family second, Career third. Since I've had those priorities in order, everything has fallen right into line.

I have 4 children at home - 12, 10, 8, 6. My oldest son is 12 and has severe autism, and he lives with his father. I also have a baby boy - Furrynando. I think he gets the most attention.

I have fibromyalgia and I also have quite a few back problems. I was supposed to have a spinal fusion surgery Sept 08, but the insurance declined at the last moment. I cannot think of many people out there having elective back surgery, but you never know. I haven't been pain free in over 10 years. But... I do get to park really close to the doors at Walmart :)
UPDATE:
I had my surgery! Oh thank God I can walk and sit and do so many things again. I finally have life to live!

My star system....
5* = Awesome! Totally rocked our socks!
4* = Very good, but needs 'something'.
3* = We ate it, tried it anyways.
2* = Yuck. We ordered pizza instead.
1* = Terrible food. Terrible instructions. Cat tried to bury it.
I try not give anything below 3 stars. I might just leave a comment instead. If it really aggravated me, then I will definitely leave a lower star rating. I will always explain in my review how it went over.
