Feel like cooking a special dinner this weekend instead of going to the restaurant for a fancy meal? Restaurant food is not so healthy unless you make some healthy choices. It is much easier to try a restaurant style recipe at home and take all the steps to keep it low calorie and reduce the amount of fat in it. Here is another one of my hot favourite recipes herbed chicken steak with potato wedges and coleslaw. The recipe is quick and easy and if you follow it to the T , you can master it even if you don t know how to boil water. You can also try this recipe of honey smeared chicken.

Ingredients

2 chicken breasts
Juice of 1 lime
3 tbsp mixed herbs
2 tbsp olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste

For the potato wedges

5 potatoes (cut into quarters or cubes)
1 tbsp olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste

For the healthy coleslaw

2 cups mixed vegetables( thinly sliced capsicum, onion, cabbage, carrots)
2 tbsp hung curd
Salt and pepper to taste

Method

If you have preplanned the meal, then marinating chicken is a great idea.
Make tiny slits in the chicken breasts so that they absorb the marinade and herbs well.
Rub the lime juice and salt on the chicken breasts and place them in a cool place for 3-4 hours. The more you marinate the breasts the better.
Heat a non-stick pan and add some oil to it.
Rub the herbs on the chicken breasts so that they form a thick crust. Now place it in the pan.
Cook on one side for 7-8 minutes and then turn. Cook the other side till chicken is cooked. You can check this by inserting a fork in the chicken. If it pierces through easily, your chicken is cooked.
Serve in a plate with wedges and coleslaw.

For the potato wedges

Boil the potato cubes in salted water for 5 minutes.
Pre-heat oven at 200 degrees C for 20 minutes.
Coat the potato cubes with olive oil and place them on top rack for 20 minutes or until crisp.

For the Coleslaw

Mix all the ingredients well and refrigerate for 15 minutes.

There you go, your restaurant style meal is ready in no time.
