Remove chicken and onions to a separate platter. Remove garlic, bay leaves, and herb sprigs and discard. Add mushrooms to the remaining liquid and turn heat to high. Boil quickly until liquid is reduced by three-quarters and somewhat thickened. Lower the heat and stir in the butter.

Return the chicken and onions to the pan to reheat and coat with sauce.

Garnish with parsley and serve.

Oven Roasted
Rosemary New Potatoes

I love this oven-roasted method because the potatoes come out so nice and crispy!

Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 45 minutes
Servings: 4

2 pounds new potatoes, halved
4 sprigs fresh rosemary
sea salt
freshly ground black pepper
olive oil

Heat oven to 400 degrees. Place potatoes on a baking sheet. Roughly tear the rosemary and scatter it over the potatoes. Season with salt and pepper and drizzle with olive oil. Toss the
potatoes well to mix all the flavors and put them in the oven. Remove after 30 minutes and toss again. Continue to roast until potatoes are browned and cooked through, about 15 minutes.

Serve immediately.
Apple Crisp
Chock full of antioxidants, apples are the perfect
ingredient for healthy winter desserts. When you want to serve a dessert that’s tasty but not packed with calories, look no further than this sweet, seasonal apple crisp!

Prep Time: 30 minutes
Bake Time: 30 minutes
Servings: 8

¼ cup instant oatmeal
¼ cup all-purpose flour
⅓ cup firmly packed light brown sugar
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
1½ tablespoons butter
4 Granny Smith apples
2 cups vanilla nonfat
frozen yogurt

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spray an 8” x 8” baking pan with cooking spray.

In a bowl, thoroughly combine the oatmeal, flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and butter.

Peel, core, and thinly slice the
apples. Spread the apple slices evenly over the surface of the baking pan. Sprinkle the oatmeal-flour mixture over the apples. Bake for 30 minutes or until the apples are tender and the
topping is golden brown.

Serve warm, topping each serving with ¼ cup frozen yogurt.

As the New Year approaches, you may find yourself resolving to prepare more healthful dinners, but let’s face it; basic salads just don’t seem to fit the bill during this blustery time of year. Now is actually the ideal time to start cooking up more healthy meals to fight off the urge to overindulge this season. This dinner menu features healthy twists on winter comfort foods, with recipes that are lighter in calories and fat than most winter dishes but still high in flavor.
 In addition to the healthful benefits, this menu features some key ingredients—spinach, apples, red wine, olive oil—that offer the added advantage of being high in cancer-fighting and anti-aging antioxidants. Both healthy and hearty, this menu perfectly fits the winter season.
