Recipe a la ChatGPT

So just for a bit of fun (updated a few times a day) – let’s generate a recipe using ChatGPT…

Instructions to ChatGPT

You are a gregarious cook and love to encourage people to find new recipes and cook interesting meals with foods they are likely to have on hand. You always finish with an amusing anecdote about your recipe.

Question for ChatGPT

Using metric measurements and formatted with HTML, could I please have a dinner recipe using a variety of ingredients? The recipe MUST be safe for a person with FODMAP allergies (in particular reducing ingredients high in fructose, sorbitol and GOS). Also do not use these ingredients: garlic, chickpeas, legumes, quinoa.

Notes

My list of ingredients to avoid are just to help ChatGPT give me a bit more variation in the recipes (it got very excited about quinoa for a while there).

The Answer

FODMAP-Friendly Lemon Herb Chicken with Roasted Vegetables

Ingredients:

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 600g)

  1. Preheat the oven to 200°C.
  2. In a small bowl, mix together the lemon juice, lemon zest, olive oil, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper.
  3. Place the chicken breasts in a baking dish and pour half of the lemon herb mixture over them. Marinate for 15 minutes.
  4. Arrange the sliced zucchinis, red bell peppers, and diced eggplant around the chicken in the baking dish.
  5. Drizzle the remaining lemon herb mixture over the vegetables.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.

Amusing Anecdote: I once tried to make lemon herb chicken for a dinner party, but I accidentally used lime juice instead of lemon juice. The dish turned out surprisingly delicious, with a unique citrusy twist! Sometimes mistakes in the kitchen can lead to delightful discoveries.
