Recipe Swap Week 4

inskydiamonds

Recipe swap is a fun group where every week two recipes are shared by our members to be cooked by everyone else in the group!

Recipe Swap Week 3: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/359377-recipe-swap-week-3
If you make a recipe from week 3, please post your review of it on that post.

THIS WEEK agirlfromminnesota AND ElyzahMoore ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR SHARING RECIPES FOR THE REST OF THE GROUP TO MAKE.

Hopefully the recipes are posted today or tomorrow.

1. Sign up by making a post in this thread and I will add you to the member list.
2. Every week there will be TWO recipes/meals submitted by two members. Each member of the community should make the recipe and post their opinions about the recipe/meal, changes they may have made, etc.
3. Each week there will be a new recipe swap post on the MFP boards. This post will be the place that the members responsible for the recipes for the week will post them as well as the place where you should comment about the recipes/meals you cooked. If you make any substitutions or other changes in the recipe, tell us that as well. And by all means, if you take pictures and want to share them, do!

For more information and for the recipes from last week and the member list, check out here: https://docs.google.com/a/u.pacific.edu/document/d/1fqBAaFmtHqOq76VlmyASTE8LX-FnUnYWCYY7QTu6q1o/edit?hl=en_US

Okay -- I am going to share the two I made this week from Skinnytaste.com. (I am obsessed with this blog!) My husband my daughter loved these! In fact, my husband *suggested* that these make a regular appearance in our recipe rotations!

Healthy Baked Chicken Nuggets (Gina's Weight Watcher Recipes)

Ingredients:

* 16 oz (2 large) skinless boneless chicken breasts
* salt and pepper to taste
* 2 tsp olive oil
* 6 tbsp whole wheat Italian seasoned breadcrumbs
* 2 tbsp panko (Japanese breadcrumbs)
* 2 tbsp grated parmesan cheese
* olive oil spray

Method:

Cut up chicken into bite sized pieces. Place olive oil in one bowl and combine the dry ingredients in another. Dip the chicken pieces in the oil oil and then into the dry ingredients to coat. Place on cookie sheet and mist lightly with olive oil spray. Bake at 425 degrees (about 10 minutes per side) or until cooked through.

Breaded Zucchini Sticks (Gina's Weight Watcher Recipes)

Ingredients:

* 1/3 cup seasoned whole wheat bread crumbs
* 2 tbsp grated Pecorino Romano cheese (I used Parmesan instead)
* cooking spray
* 1/4 tsp garlic powder
* salt
* fresh pepper

Method:

Spray cookie sheet with cooking spray and set aside. Beat egg white in small bowl with salt and pepper. Combine bread crumbs, cheese, and garlic powder in a zip lock bag. Dip zucchini in the egg, and then place in the zip lock. (You can do a couple sticks at a time.) Shake a few times to coat and then place zucchini on greased cookie sheet. Spray the top lightly with cooking spray. Bake at 425 degrees for 20- 25 minutes, or until golden brown.

Ok so I will call this a "I need to go grocery shopping what can I put together with what I have left" kinda recipe. Super simple and nothing special needed which is the only kind of stuff I know and that is only because of my bf.

The positive is you need 8 ingredients!

4 chicken skinless boneless chicken breasts
1 c. couscous
2 frozen veggies of your choice
1 tbsp olive oil
2 cans chicken stock
S&P to season as you like
3 cloves of garlic
a bit of fresh (or dried) parsley

1. Dice the 4 chicken breasts into 1" cubes
2. In a nonstick pan brown chicken with olive oil,S&P, and garlic. Once Chicken is browned add the 2 veggies and the second can of chicken stock, once veggies are cooked through. Put them aside and seperate from sauce in pan. Keep the sauce!
3. In a sauce pan bring 1 can of chicken stock to boil, once to boil add couscous and take off of heat. Cover for five minutes and that part is done.
4. Fluff couscous with fork and dish onto plate to use as bed for chicken and veggies, once the chicken and veggies are present, drizzle with sauce.

And now I know I need to look up nutrition info as it was something made last night. So I will have to get to that part later! Sorry!
