A little Bourbon in my chicken

I did not want Chicken Florentine again. It was time to get creative. I know that my family loves this dish so I tried to make it as WW friendly as I could. Made with 3 chicken breasts, yielding 4 servings this comes to 7 points without rice (5 pts for 1/2c). Its super easy and really good, almost as good as the places in the mall (or at least I like to think so). I served this with sauteed green beans with onion and cranberry. So here's the recipe: In one bowl mix the following:
1/2C water
1/3C reduced sodium soy sauce
1/4C apple juice concentrate (next time I'm going to add a pureed apple, but I had this on hand to use)
2T sugar free ketchup
1tsp red pepper flakes
1T minced garlic
1/4 brown sugar (I hated to use this, but had nothing else to use, honey would have almost tripled the point value)

Cube the chicken and brown in a non stick pan, when cooked add the mixed ingredients. Cover and let simmer for about 10 minutes. If you like it a little soupy then serve it right away otherwise you may want to add 1T corn starch, if you like it a bit thicker.


As for lunch, yesterday I made this:

It is shown with a cut up corn tortilla. It is simply my take on a tortilla soup.
8C broth
10oz chicken
2 cans rotel
1 can black beans rinsed
1C corn
1 onion
Season to taste
It makes about 10- 1C servings at 2pt/serving.
To make this soup vegan, use vegetable broth and add another bean of choice.

Oatmeal for breakfast with pb -6 pts. Im on day 3 of this and although I love it, tomorrow I will find something new. I havent had eggs ina while, and since I didnt make a fritatta this week I believe they will be on my menu tomorrow.

Tonight I thought Id get creative for an after dinner treat. I was wanting something warm and savory. So I thought Id try something with pumpkin. What I was going for was a major FAIL. What I ended up with was pretty good. I took 1 can of pumpkin, spiced it up, added three egg whites and cooked it in a nonstick skillet. I was hoping for pumpkinish pancakes without having to add flour. That apparently doesn't work unless I add some more base. Lesson learned. I topped my hot concoction off with some maple syrup and it really tasted like Pumpkin Cream of Wheat. 4 pts for a HUGE, seriously filling bowl.

Until tomorrow!
