Non-fat cooking spray

1 lb. boneless skinless chicken breasts, cubed

1/4 cup fresh lemon or lime juice

1 Tbsp. olive oil

1 medium (4 oz. or 1 cup) onion chopped

1 cup chopped tomatoes

1/2 a mini bottle (98.5 mL.) dry white wine

1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth

4 ripe bananas, halved lengthwise

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1. Cut the chicken into bite sized chunks. Warm a large non-stick skillet or dutch oven over medium heat. Once it's warm, spray with non-fat cooking spray and add the chicken and lemon juice. Cook the chicken until browned, about 6-8 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet.

2. Put the olive oil in the heated pan and pour in the onions and tomatoes. Stir and cook until soft, about 6 minutes. Put the chicken back in the pan and pour the wine and chicken broth over the top. Bring everything to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium low and cover the pan. Simmer until the chicken is tender, about 45 minutes.

3. Ten minutes before chicken is finished, heat another non-stick pan over medium heat. Spray with non-fat cooking spray and brown the banana halves, about 2 minutes per side. Then lay the bananas over the chicken, sprinkle the parmesan cheese over the top and cover. Cook for 5 more minutes until cheese is melted then serve.
