This dish combines high-quality protein from the skinless chicken with the antioxidant power of vitamin C and lycopene from the tomato sauce. Have rice or noodles and steamed veggies on the side to round out the meal.

Ingredients:

  • 2 teaspoons canola oil
  • 1 yellow onion, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/2 cup fat-free, low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 8-ounce can no-salt-added tomato sauce
  • 1/3 cup reduced-fat sour cream
