Chicken Packets

1 can corn drained
1 can black beans drained
1.5 cups hot salsa

Mix that together in a bowl.

Cut 4 pieces of foil to put the chicken breasts on and spray with Pam.
Put chicken breasts on foil. Season with garlic powder, cayenne, onion powder, and lawry's. Divided the 'bean/corn/salsa' mixture over the 4 chicken breasts. Fold and close packets and put on a baking sheet. Bake at 450 for 18-20 mins. My oven takes longer then 20 minutes. I usually have to cook mine 15 more minutes.

Serving with Uncle Ben's 90 second spanish rice. You'll need to calc points for the rice. I think its 1/2c for 2 pts.

French Country Skillet Chicken

4 4oz. skinless/boneless chicken breasts
2 T. olive oil
½ cup white wine
½ cup water
Knorr Vegtable Soup Mix
1 t. tarragon (optional)
1 t. salt and pepper
½ cup fat free or light sour cream
1 medium yellow onion chopped (optional)
1 package of slice mushrooms (optional)

Heat oil in skillet on medium heat. Season chicken with salt and pepper, cook until light brown. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside, stir in vegetable soup mix, wine, water, and optional tarragon. Return chicken, cover and simmer on low for 15-20 minutes. Cook mushrooms and onions in a separate pan. Remove chicken from the sauce and whisk in sour cream, then add mushrooms and onions. Serve chicken with sauce on top
I usually serve this on top of brown rice and then with a side vegetable! Of course you will have to add points for the rice.

**If you would like to use this recipe, but you aren’t in the mood for chicken then just change the ½ cup white wine to a ½ cup red or sherry wine and the meat for pork tenderloin.

Stuffed Bell Peppers

Make 5 stuffed peppers
3 points per stuffed pepper

5 green bell peppers, cleaned with top cut off and seeded. (you may have to cut off bottom in order for them to sit on the pan when you bake them)
1/2 lb. ground lean ground
1/2 onion, chopped
1 tablespoon of minced garlic
1 package of mushrooms; chopped or slices
1/2 package of fresh spinach
14.5 oz. can rotel, drained
1 cup cooked brown rice
15 oz. can tomato sauce (3 tablespoons added to mixture; rest of the can used to top your pepper as your desire)

Take bell peppers and place on the grill to give them a little color and cook them. About 15 minutes on the grill. While those are on the grill, in a deep pan saute onions, garlic and ground beef until the beef is browned. Add mushrooms, spinach, drained rotel and cooked rice. Cook until spinach and mushrooms are soft. Add in 3 tablespoons of tomato sauce to mixture and stir in. Remove from heat.

Place the peppers on a baking sheet and stuff each pepper with the mixture. You can sprinkle with parm cheese if you wish! Bake the peppers on 350 for 10-15 minutes. Remove from the oven and serve. Top with as much of the remaining tomato sauce.

Good sides for this meal are: Salad, fruit salad and bread!
