You might not think you could lose weight while on a eating plan which includes pomegranate chicken but it is achievable. The key is to not eat pomegranate chicken or other high calorie poultry every day but in moderation.

This is what I do, I allow myself moderately high calorie food one meal per week. I eat a healthy diet 6 days a week, say 1200 to 1600 calories each day, and then one day, I eat what I please – without going overboard of course.

I have been using this method for the last 4 weeks and it has helped me to lose 5 kilos. I have not accelerated my exercise routine or taken any vitamins or diet drinks. I have only been conscious of what I eat most days of the week and then eat whatever I feel like one day per week.

I also think it is helpful if you have a little support when dieting and for that I signed up with the Biggest Loser club. They have lots of tools to enable you to monitor your progress and achieve your goals.

Pomegranate Chicken

1 large stewing hen
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 (16 ounce) can tomatoes, sieved
1 cup chicken broth
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
Pinch of azafran
1/4 cup blanched almonds
1/4 cup raisins
1 cup Malaga wine
Seeds of 1 pomegranate
Avocado (optional)

Cut up the chicken. Heat oil, and lightly fry chicken until brown on all sides, about 30 minutes.

Add tomatoes, broth, cloves, pepper, cinnamon, azafran, almonds and raisins. Cover; reduce heat. Simmer gently until meat is tender and sauce has thickened (about 25 minutes).

Add wine, then simmer 5 minutes more. If sauce is soupy, grind 2 slices of white bread in a blender and add to thicken.

Remove chicken to a serving platter. Pour sauce around it. Sprinkle chicken with pomegranate seeds. Garnish with avocado slices.

Serves 6.
