My sweet mother in law is cooking a healthy dinner for our family and I was thrilled to see it was Galveston Diet friendly. Chicken sautéed with mushrooms, olives, capers and fresh lemon ? and fresh basil ? and a splash of Chardonnay. Side of roasted Brussels sprouts and a green salad with fresh blue cheese and olive oil! Macros below:

1 small jar of capers
1 small jar of green olives
1/2 cup dry white wine
2 tbsp olive oil
Juice of two lemons
Fresh basil to taste
Salt, pepper, and Cajun seasoning
Three avocados

Directions: In a large heavy frying pan with the temperature on medium, brown the teaspoon of garlic in olive oil. Add chicken thighs that are skinned down. Brown chicken thighs for approximately 5 minutes, add salt and pepper and Cajun seasoning. Flip chicken and repeat.
Pour off fat, and lower temp to low.
