Hey everyone! I really LOVE the Fiesta Lime chicken they serve at Applebees...but it has a ton of calories, so I made it at home tonite...and Wa-LAH! Perfecto, and quite a bit less calories.

4 oz chicken breast (180 calories)
1/4 cup salsa (or pico de gallo) mixed with 1 TBSP ranch dressing (80 calories)
1/8 cup of shredded cheddar cheese (40 calories)
1/4 fresh lime
= 300 calories.....AND SO DELICIOUS! (Compared to Applebees 550 for JUST the chicken part w/tortilla chips)


Basically all I did was grill the chicken on my George Foreman, and then I turned on the oven to like 375, and I put the chicken on a pan and put the salsa on top, and then sprinkled it with cheese....YUMMMM!! AFter it cooked I took it out and squeezed some lime juice on it...YUM!

I used homemade pico de gallo... which is basically
chopped roma tomatoes, red onions,green chilies, fresh cilantro, lime juice, little bit of white vinegar & pepper.... ...and for 1/2 cup of that is only 12 CALORIES!

WA-LAH LAH sOUNDS SO GOOD, WILL BE MAKING THIS. AND SOUNDS SO EASY TOO.

Good thinking!! I didn't use my lite ranch last night because I was needing some more calories! But, I would definitely recommend using pico de gallo mixed with ranch .... It has much less sugars than the salsa jars you buy at the store, less added preservatives and sodium. You can find an easy-to-suit-you recipe at www.allrecipes.com

I ate it with a small red baked potato and fat free sour cream, and even put a little pico de gallo on the potato too. Filled me up perfectly! Hope you enjoy...I'm not sure I can call this my own..... But, I figured I share a nice little twist on Applebees dinner and decreasing calories (I LOVE THAT!). :bigsmile:

Hi Calie, good to see you here. I just came back after failing miserably and gaining back the 10 I lost here last Winter plus 6 more I put on on top of that. Lack of logging I call it. Just didn't keep track of what I was eating anymore. Also, I wasn't able to do the "walking" I loved so much because I blew out my knee. But that wasn't an excuse. I could still have riddin my bikes(stationery and regular).

Anyway, here I go again back to square one but so far so good;) denise

Breakfast = 2 Free Range large Eggs
2 pieces thick-sliced bacon
2/3 cup mixed vegies
1/4 cup kraft shredded cheese(mexican style)
1/4 cup tomato(one slice large tomato)
3 cups coffee(I know, I need to cut back on it:)
Lunch = 1/2 cup albacore tuna(I eat it as is. My sister sends me fresh canned albacore her boyfriend catches.
1/2 cup Cottage Cheese(4% milkfat small curd)
Dinner = large, deviened shrimp(I think the serving size is 6 or7)
2/3's cup mixed vegies
1 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
I fill in with water or a snack of either string cheese and multi grain crackers or crackers w/Adams Natural Crunchy peanut butter;)

For you and all your hard work Cali:flowerforyou:
