how long does it take to boil the chicken breast?

 

[MadMas]

Where does all that fat come from?

 

[massmonster]

jdubz, cover the breasts in water and simmer on medium heat for about 30 minutes.

madmas, I used fitday last night and didnt really proofread it. 68g fat from the chicken breast; another 10 form the corn(wtf?) 1 each from peppers and tomato juice.

That's just what it said. In reality it may be much lower.

That sounds good. Aren't refried beans in a paste? Or is it a regular bean?

 

[massmonster]

Ya, refried beans are a paste. When you add them in to this soup the tomato juice thins them out. It comes our pretty thick like a chowder. Another thing I some times do is cut one can of refried beans and add one can of black beans.

I dont know hwat chicken breast they are using but it should be much lower than that even if its flavored with a fatty substance.

 

[jrkarp]

I think that a 68g fat calculation for the chicken breasts must be including the skin. Most calorie-calculating sites have options for with skin and without. If one is in a hurry, it's easy to make a mistake.

wow sounds like a really tasty and simple recipe... ff refried beans hard to find??

Refried bean are easy to find. They are most often where the mexican food is and/or by all other beans.
