CHICKEN BREAST & “AMPALAYA” SALAD
(FRIED CHIX BREAST with BITTER GOURD/MELON in a GREAT SALAD )
Healthy “finger food tummy-pushed by red wine”
is at center stage again.
“Ampalaya” (bitter gourd/bitter melon) is great for those
who have high glucose bodily index.
Sans skin, breast presents the healthiest part of chicken.
Fry in olive oil, mix them altogether along with sliced apple, tomatoes,
carrot and cucumber. Drizzle with “your own healthy vinaigrette”.
