Hi to all. I was wondering if anyone has any ideas for supper that would be under 300 calories. I have chicken, tuna & hamburg. anything would be great. I love to cook and I have 2 young children that arent to picky. So any ideas would be wonderful... if you could leave the ingredients and how to make that would be great too... Thanks a bunch! ~ Jen

    Ingredients:

    Evenly place bacon over the top of the chicken. Use a spatula or the back of a spoon to gently press down and help the bacon adhere.

    What about a Vegetable Chilli? Chuck in whichever vegetables you like..... I personally have: onion, courgette, potato (cut into small chunks) carrot, celery, sweetcorn and a small amount of red kidney beans. For the sauce, I use Passata (seived tomatoes), cumin, cinammon, red chilli, garlic and they key ingredient is bizarrely .... soy sauce?! I know is sounds odd, but it really does work!

    From Men's Health Cook This not That :

    EAT THIS!

    Chicken Fingers with Chipotle-Honey
    Text from book: Wheter shaped like nuggets, stars, crowns, or fingers, deep-fried chicken bites do a major disservice to one of the planet's best sources of protein. Let the restaurant coat it in one of their special sauces and you could be downing nearly a full day's worht of calories on a food desiged for children. In fact, Chili's popular crispers pack in more calories than a dozen Fresco Beef Tacos from Taco Bell and more soduim than 24 small bags of Lay's potato chips. Make the switch to this oven-fried version once a week and you'll shed 25 pounds (and cut out 210,080 milligrams of sodium) in a year.

    You'll Need:
    1 lb boneless, skinless chicken tenders
    Salt and Pepper to taste
    3 egg whites, lightly beaten
    2 cups panko bread crumbs
    2 Tbsp Dijon Mustard
    1 Tsp chipotle pepper puree (This dish is perfect for chicken finger -loving kids Just be sure to cut the chiles from the sauce.)
    1 Tbsp Honey

    How to make it:
    * Preheat oven to 450 deg. F. Season the chicken with salt and pepper to taste. Place the egg whites ina shallow bowl. Place the bread crumbs on a plate and season them too. Dip the chicken tenders into the egg, then toss in the crumbs, being sure to fully coat.

    * Place the breaded chicken pieces on a baking sheet coated with nonstick cooking spray and bake for 10-12 minutes, until the crumbs have browned and the chicke is firm.

    * Combne the mustard, chipotle, and honey in a large bowl. Toss the cooked chicken tenders in the mixture so they are all evenly coated with the spicy-sweet sauce.
