Hey, what can I say, this was super delicious but I was surprised at how much sodium was in this dish. Next time I will have to use all boneless skinless chicken breasts. I thought the bones would add extra flavor since I omitted the salt in this recipe. Oh well. I will get it right next time that is for sure.
I gotta tell you, omitting salt and even the tiniest amount of sugar in recipes is definitely a challenge.
I told you all I was on a 6 week 20 pound weight loss challenge and their tight rules mean no salt and no sugar (among a lot of other no-no’s). It’s been a tough road and I am only half way there.
I have lost about 7 pounds in two weeks which is right on track to lose the 20.
So wish me luck, enjoy this dish and don’t tell anyone there is that much sodium in one serving.
Thanks for stopping by and have a great day.
