Pancakes
Ingredients:
4 oz (100 g) plain flour
1 egg white
1 cup of skim milk (99% fat free)
Directions
Sift the flour into a bowl.
Beat the egg white in a separate bowl and pour it into the flour.
Mix well till all the lumps disappear.
Let it stand for about 10 minutes.
Mix the flour with the milk.
Heat a nonstick frying pan, and spray with canola oil.
Pour a bit of the mixture onto the pan and cook for one minute.
Turn the pancake so that the other side cooks too.
Once a pancake is cooked, put it aside on a plate, and repeat the process till you finish cooking 8 pancakes.
Tip: you can use honey, or you can even try the low fat maple syrup recipe to add taste to your pancakes. Of course, you'll have to take into account the nutritional values of the syrup or honey.

Chicken Florentine
Ingredients:
2 Tbsp plain flour
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp ground pepper
4 skinless chicken breast fillets
1 tsp olive oil
1 packet of frozen spinach (250 g, or about 9 or 10 oz).
3 Tbsp shredded basil
1 tsp crushed garlic
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Directions:
Mix the flour, salt and pepper in a bowl. Dredge the chicken breasts in the flour mixture, coating them evenly on both sides.
Heat the olive oil in a non-stick frying pan, and add the chicken frying it gently over medium heat. Turn the chicken over once the first side is cooked through. Once both sides are done, move away from the heat and cover to keep warm.
Defrost the spinach. Drain any excess liquid. Mix with the basil and garlic with the spinach and cook in the frying pan for about 2 minutes.
Place 4 equal portions of the spinach mix on 4 separate dishes making "the bed", and place the fried chicken breast on top of each bed.
Sprinkle with low fat Parmesan cheese, and serve immediately.
