I've never professed to be an exceptional cook, but last night, I felt like I was the best cook in the world! I'd never cooked something so delicious in my own house! I was enjoying it so much, I was almost laughing. (If you know me, you know I get really into food :) I got this Tosca Reno's, The Eat-Clean Diet. If you look at the ingredients, it's super healthy. Don't freak out about the nutritional content at the top. A little good fat never hurt anybody :)

So this recipe is a new favorite! Hope you love it as much as I did!

Ingredients:
4 boneless, skinless, chicken breasts (about 6 oz each)
2 tsp ground fennel seed
1 tsp sea salt
1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
16 small carrots, peeled
3 1/2 cups Marsala Wine or low-sodium chicken broth
8 pieces dried porcini mushrooms
2 shallots, thinly sliced
4 cloves garlic, smashed
Vegetable oil cooking spray
4 Tbsp nonfat yogurt
4 sprigs fresh rosemary

Instructions:
Mix fennel, salt, pepper and red pepper flakes in a bowl. Sprinkle spice mix over chicken and set aside. Place carrots in boiling water for about 4 minutes and remove. Dry on a paper towel. Set aside. Bring marasala or chicken broth to a low boil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add mushrooms, shallots, and garlic. Season with salt and pepper. Simmer until sauce reduces, about 20 minutes. Discard garlic and set sauce aside. Coat grill with cooking spray and grill chicken 4-6 minutes on each side or until cooked through. Grill carrots about 5 minutes, rotating until charred. Return sauce to stove. Bring to a simmer, then remove from heat and whisk in yogurt. divide carrots among four plates, and top with chicken, sauce and a sprig of rosemary.

Lola's Notes/Confessions:
I added the Quinoa and green beans for delicious taste. The Quinoa's flavor matched super well with the sauce. Yum. I forgot to grill the carrots, but they're still delicious. I used the chicken broth, didn't use fennel seeds, or red pepper. I didn't have the recommended amount of chicken broth, so that's why my sauce looks more white than brown. Oops. It still tasted so good I licked my plate splikity clean:)
