Repeatable Recipes

Another great week of food came and went. These are the recipes we really liked from this past week. I am going to have to start taking pictures of each entree....

White Chicken Chili

1 tbsp. olive oil

3/4 skinless bonless chicken breast, cubed

1/2 onion, chopped

2 garlic cloves, minced

2 cups chicken broth

2 15 1/2 oz. cans of white kidney beans

1/4 tsp. black pepper

fat free sour cream

lowfat cheese to put on top

salsa for the top

1. Cook the chicken in the olive oil and put the cooked chicken in the crock pot.

2. Add the garlic (and onion if your not married to my husband) to the skillet to cook for about five minutes.

3. Add the onion and garlic to the chicken in the slow cooker and add in all of the other ingredients except the sour cream, cheese and salsa.

4. Cover and cook on low for several hours.

5. Scoop some fat free sour cream on top, a scoop of salsa and a 1/4 cup of shredded cheese.

The recipe made 4 servings. Each serving had 6 points, plus the points for the fat free sour cream and the cheese.

Shrimp Burrito

I made the ingredients for this recipe and then weighed the shrimp out when I assembled my burrito.

1 large flour tortilla (3 points on it's own)

2 lb. shrimp, peeled, deveined and tails off

1 cup salsa that has been refrigerated

2 tbsp. fresh cilantro

1/2 jalapeno, minced

1/2 tablespoon lime juice

2 tsp. ground cumin

2 tsp. paprika

2 tsp. olive oil

1/4 tsp. salt

1/4 tsp. pepper

cooking spray

1. Preheat the broiler.

2. Toss the shrimp with the cumin, paprika, oil, salt and pepper.

3. Put the minced jalapeno on as much of the shrimp as you want super spicy (in my house that is half). Spread it on a pan and broil for about five minutes until they are warm.

4. Add the cilantro to the salsa, mix it together.

5. Microwave the tortillas.

6. I assembled a super big burrito with 6 oz. of shrimp (3 points), plus salsa (0 points) and the tortilla (also 3 points).

So this made one big 6 point burrito. The flavor was outstanding and this was a definite hit for my whole family.
