I have defrosted chicken cutlets waiting for me. We have no breadcrumbs, and I don't want to use crackers (too much fat). There's no salsa to top them with, and the spaghetti sauce is frozen. I don't know what to do.

I can thank my mother for this. I wanted to make Coca Cola chicken - mix a cup of ketchup & a can of Diet Coke, pour over bone-in chicken breasts or thighs and bake for an hour. You can't use cutlets. They're too thin.

She also brought home whoopie pies, chocolate cake doughnuts (luckily I don't like them) and all-beef hot dogs (170 cal and 15 g fat per). Thanks a lot, Ma! :grumble:

    If you have the ingredients (I have not totalled up my points for this so I'm sorry if it's awful):

    -can of cream of chicken soup
    -a dash of skim milk
    -1 small can green chiles
    -corn tortillas
    -cheese

    If so:

    1. Boil or saute your chicken (and then shred or chop it)
    2. Mix the can of soup, milk, chicken, and green chiles together*
    3. Layer tortillas, soup chicken mixture, & cheese in a casserole dish (repeat til full)
    4. Bake @ 350 degrees til cheese is bubbling and food is hot throughout

    To mix it up add in any combination of the following:

    - corn
    - sauted onions
    - sauted bell peppers
    - chives
    - black beans
    - anything else you want :)

    I put a chili lime rub or a cajun rub on mine and stick it in a rotisserie (in the basket) for 20 mins and usually two different veggies with it. If you don't have a rotisserie you can bake them with tin foil covering for 15 mins and 5-10 mins without.

    Mix up some eggs... dip & cook in some coconut oil. Yum. Serve with some grean beans & bacon... you are good to go!

    I would worry more about the flour & sugar in the cracker than the fat. Fat really gets a bad wrap. Remember the fat we eat isn't the same fat that runs through our veins. Sugar is the 'bad cholesterol' causing problem. It bothers me so much that we've been so misled.

    Supper sounds yummy.

    Sounds like a talk with ma is in store... don't let her sabotage your wellness.
