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

Preparation
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.

Fat Free 7 Layer Mexican Dip
Serves 8 - 1 POINT per serving

1 can fat-free refried beans
8 ounces picante sauce
8 ounces fat-free sour cream
2 cups lettuce -- shredded
2 cups green onions -- chopped
2 cups tomatoes -- chopped
4 ounces fat-free cheddar cheese

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.
