Healthy Diet Chicken and Vegetables image

Healthy diet chicken with vegetables combines the ease of frozen chicken breasts with the nutritional benefits of fresh vegetables. What I like about this easy recipe is that little differences in my choice of seasonings can create a variety of tastes without compromising on my basic diet requirements. The basic recipe calls for basil, but you can easily substitute lite soy sauce and some sliced water chestnuts for a Chinese flavor. Can be served on rice or noodles but is great as is.

I'm a vegetarian, so I omitted the chicken and added extra vegetables. It was delicious!

I'm allergic to chicken, so I used tofu instead. It turned out great!

This dish was a bit bland for my taste. I think I would add some more spices next time.

I made a few changes to the recipe and it still turned out great. I used boneless, skinless chicken breasts and added some extra vegetables.
