MAIN DISHES

Caribbean Chicken with Rice
Makes 4 servings (about 1 cup each) - 5 POINTS per serving

4 boneless/skinless chicken breast halves
1/2 C. FF Chicken Broth
1 garlic cloves, minced
1 tsp. chili powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. dried oregano leaves
1 can Rotel diced tomatoes with green chiles
2 C. cooked rice

In slow cooker, combine chicken, broth, garlic, chili powder, salt & oregano. Cover and cook on LOW 2 hours. Add tomatoes and rice, cover and cook on LOW 5 minutes.

You could substitute shrimp for the chicken if you prefer, and I’m sure could also be cooked in a skillet / frying pan on the stove-top. It was very simple and delicious! I crumbled 5 of the Garlic Butter flavor Ritz crackers on top for an additional 2 pts. and it was AWESOME!

I don’t have all of the nutritional info to put here, but I do know it works out to 5 pts. per serving.

Heat oven to 375 degrees. Coat a baking sheet with non stick cooking spray. Place each chicken breast between 2 pieces of plastic wrap and pound out until thin. Try not to pound it so thin that you create holes in the chicken. Place 3 slices of ham and 1 slice of cheese at the top of each breast, and roll starting with the end that has the cheese and ham, bringing the sides in as you roll. Brush each breast with a thin layer of yogurt, then dip into bread crumbs. Place on baking sheet and spray each breast with non stick cooking spray. Bake for approx. 30-40 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink.

8 ounces picante sauce
8 ounces fat-free sour cream
2 cups lettuce — shredded

Layer from first ingredient to last ingredient (I used a 9 X 9 glass pan and it was perfect size). I used one serving of Baked Lays (2 pts.) to eat this with. Also, something I think that might be good would be putting a small amount in a low-point taco shell and roll it up.
