I followed this to a T my first HCG Dieting go round and lost 28 pounds in 21 days.. I really had to be strict with myself and ate quite a bland and boring diet for those 3 weeks.. It has now been over a year and I have discovered lots of great recipes that still follow the rules of HCG Phase 2 dieting but taste great as well!!
As I come across great HCG Phase 2 recipes I'm going to post them here!
I will also be posting my comments and opinions below each recipe when I make it and eat it myself.

3.5 oz Chicken Breast (I use 2 tenders)
10 cloves Garlic, peeled and smashed

1/2 cup Celery, sliced
1 cup fat-free Chicken Broth
Water, to taste

Chicken Fingers
3.5 oz Chicken Tenders (this is 2 tenders for me)
1 Tbsp Mustard
1/2 tsp Basil
1/2 tsp Oregano
1 Tbsp Bread Crumbs (you can crush up your melba toast or grissini, or just use whatever bread crumbs you have)
Preheat oven to 350*. Coat thawed chicken in mustard and set on baking sheet. Mix bread crumbs with herbs. Sprinkle half of the breading over the two tenders, then flip them over and sprinkle the rest on the other sides. Bake until done, about 15 minutes.
I put a little blob of mustard on my plate and added 3 drops of liquid stevia for a "honey mustard" dipping sauce. Yum!
