Switch a few ingredients for a different chicken dish

Tried and true recipes such as a familiar spiced-chicken thigh dish are always going to please diners and preserve the cook’s good reputation.
When you have time, however, a few simple extra touches can turn the dish into a dressed-up versions for fancier occasions, while it still stays in the low-fat camp.
The plan is set out by Maureen Callahan in the September issue of Cooking Light magazine.
For weeknights, she suggests, instant brown rice makes a fast side dish. However, if you have time, basmati rice pairs particularly well with the flavors in the garam masala (Indian spice blend available at most supermarkets).
