[quote=Anonymous]My in-laws have all sorts of health issues and when you place their dietary restrictions together, it's almost impossible to find something that everyone can eat.  But here are some ideas that work pretty well:

- A continental classic.  Make chicken medallions any size you like (I usually do about 1-1.5" diameter pieces and I like think so only like 1/2"-3/4" thick).  Chiffonade (chop) some sage and save at least one whole sage leaf per person.  Melt butter in a skillet and let it cook a little (not fully brown, but starting).  After butter is completely melted drop the whole sage leaves in until they get crispy, then take them out and put on a paper towel (this step is optional as the fried sage leaves are a garnish).  Saute the chicken in the butter.  When cooked, add the chopped/chiffonade sage.  Leave on the heat for about 15-30 seconds until the sage becomes aromatic.  Take off the heat.  Either plate the chicken or put on a serving plate family style.  Add a froed sage leaf as a garnish to each individual plate or make a small stack of them on the serving plate if family style (If I do this, I arrange these leaves to look like a flower).  Make sure that each piece of chicken has some chopped sage on it, then squeeze half a lemon over the chicken.  Put the other half of the lemon on the serving plate for individuals to squeeze more on if they want it.  It almost takes longer to type this description than to cook it, it's that easy.

Usually I serve this with buttered noodles or spaetzle, but for your guest, try garlic mashed potatoes (if you don't want to make these, you can often find some containers in the deli refrigerator section of the supermarket) and a vegetable side like steamed broccoli.    If you make a salad, get a spring mix, then add grape tomatoes, sliced cucumbers, and sliced red/orange or yellow bell peppers and either sunflower seeds or candied walnuts. Serve with a vinagrette on the side for others.[/quote]
