I got this recipe from the book "The Complete Idiots Guide to Eating Well After WLS". I did change the recipe. I took out half of the rice (I used under 2 cups of cooked rice). I also didn't add as many tomatoes that it called for. It lowered the carbs, I'm sure and made it easier on my sleeve. It had great flavor. I have been looking for flavor and been bored with plain chicken or fish lately. This was Yummy! And I have portioned out leftovers. I am going to try to freeze a couple and see how that goes. I hope you enjoy as well.
