Healthy Side Dishes?

Question

I'm on a 1200 calorie Diet and for Dinner Thursday Night, I'm going to make Stuffed Chicken Breast and something else with it. The calories for the Chicken Breast itself is 140. That still leaves me with 260 calories. Does anyone know some good side dishes in that calories range. Maybe just one that is 260 or two or three that equal up to 260?

Thanks

Answer 1

If you like cherry tomatoes, may I suggest cutting them in half, drizzle a little olive oil on them and a dash of salt, and about 2 tablespoons of balsamic vinegar. Mix and let sit to room temp.
You could add a couple fresh basil leaves cut up that really gives it some flavor. Enjoy

Answer 4

Wine baked potato

INGREDIENTS
1 medium baking potato
1/2 medium onion, sliced
1/4 teaspoon butter
1/4 cup cooking sherry
DIRECTIONS
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
Make several cuts crosswise across the potato, about 1/2 inch apart and not quite all the way through. Place half of an onion slice, and a piece of butter into each cut. Place the potato onto a sheet of aluminum foil, and form a bowl. Pour the cooking wine over the potato, and fold the foil around to seal, turning the ends up like a boat to keep the wine from spilling out.
Place the potato onto a baking sheet, and bake for 50 to 60 minutes, depending on the size of the potato. When done, cut through foil, and top with your favorite potato toppings or just salt and pepper.

You may have one cup of steamed carrots with grated Parmesan PLUS one cup of unsweetened applesauce PLUS one cup of skim milk for a total of 260 calories. Carrots taste really good with a bit of Parmesan on them -- who needs butter?!
