Ingredients:

4 whole skinless chicken
1 breast halves -- bone in
2 whole carrots -- scrubbed
2 small onions -- peeled, cut in
1 half
2 stalks celery -- cut into 3
1 pieces
1 whole bay leaf
10 sprigs parsley -- flat leaf
1 cup dry white wine
1 tbsp black peppercorns
3/4 cup dried apricots
2 cup fresh pineapple -- cut 1
1 inch thick
1 salt and pepper
1/2 tsp fresh tarragon -- chopped
1 tsp dijon mustard -- grainy
1/4 lb baby lettuce leaves

Instructions:

Place chicken, carrots, onions, celery, bay leaf, parsley, wine and
peppercorns in a stockpot. Add water to cover. Bring to a boil.
Reduce heat so liquid is at a bare simmer. Poach, adjusting heat to
maintain simmer and slimming skum off the top, until chicken is
sooked, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove chicken from stock; use a sharp
knife to remove meat from bones. Place meat in a dish. Add stock to
just cover. Return bones to pot; simmer until very flavorful, about 1
hour. Pass stock through a cheesclothe lined strainer and discard
solids. In a clean saucepan, return stock to a boil. Reduce heat so
stock is at a bare simmer. Add apricots and pineapple and poach until
tender, about 10 minutes. With a slotted spoon, remove fruit; season
with salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper and 1/4 teaspoon tarragon. Raise
heat to high, cook stock until reduced to 1/3 cup, 45 minutes. Reduce
heat to low; whisk in mustard, 1/4 teaspoon each salt and tarragon
and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Divide lettuce among four plates. Slice
chicken, place on greens. Pour mustard sauce over chicken and serve
with reserved apricot and pineapple mixture.

Chicken is ideal
for weight loss
and dieting

Healthy eating is far better than strict dieting, and weight loss achieved by a change of lifestyle lasts far longer than 'faddy' diets that are difficult to adopt for long periods.

Cooking more low fat chicken can enable you to lose weight gradually as part of a a controlled and healthy diet.
