Poulet Moutarde - PCOS-Friendly Recipe
Nutrition per Serving
Ingredients
- 32 oz skinless chicken thighs
- 1 gherkin pickle
- 1/4 tbsp vegetable oil
- 4 oz Dijon mustard
- 6 oz nonfat yogurt
- 1 dash pepper
- 1 dash salt
- 1 tsp thyme
Instructions
- Pre-heat the oven to 400 °F (200 °C).
- In a bowl, mix together the chicken, mustard and thyme, so the chicken is nicely coated.
- Lay a sheet of foil over a large baking tray, then place the chicken on the foil. Lay another sheet of foil over the first, and fold over the edges tightly to make a pouch. This will need to be placed in the oven for 45-60 minutes.
- Just before the chicken has finished cooking, you can prepare the sauce by mixing together the oil with the yogurt or fromage frais, and add a sprinkling of salt and black pepper.
- Once the chicken has cooked, remove the foil and pour over the sauce. Serve with slices of pickles or gherkins.
