    Calories: 164.9 • Fat: 4.6 g • Protein: 22.1 g • Carb: 7.7 g • Fiber: 0.9 g • Sugar: 0.1 g


    16 oz (2 large) skinless boneless chicken breasts, cut into even bit sized pieces
    salt and pepper to taste
    2 tsp olive oil
    6 tbsp whole wheat Italian seasoned breadcrumbs
    2 tbsp panko
    2 tbsp grated parmesan cheese
    olive oil spray (I used my Misto)

    Preheat oven to 425°. Spray a baking sheet with olive oil spray.
    Put the olive oil in one bowl and the breadcrumbs, panko and parmesan cheese in another
    Season chicken with salt and pepper, then put in the bowl with the olive oil and mix well so the olive oil evenly coats all of the chicken
    Put a few chunks of chicken at a time into the breadcrumb mixture to coat, then on the baking sheet. Lightly spray the top with olive oil spray then bake 8 - 10 minutes. Turn over then cook another 4 - 5 minutes or until cooked though


    Baked Chipotle Sweet Potato Fries

    Calories: 108 • Fat: 4.7g • Protein: 1.1 g • Carb: 15.8 g • Fiber: 2.0 g

    1 sweet potato, (about 5" long) peeled and cut into 1/4" fries
    2 tsp olive oil
    sea salt
    ground chipotle chile
    garlic powder

    Preheat oven to 425°.
    In a medium bowl, toss sweet potatoes with olive oil, salt, garlic powder and chipotle chile powder
    Spread potatoes on a baking sheet. Avoid crowding so potatoes get crisp. Bake 15 minutes. Turn and bake an additional 10-15 minutes. Ovens may vary so keep an eye on them and be sure to cut all the potatoes the same size to ensure even cooking

    Todays recipe is an easy lunch I found on hungry-girl.com . I made English Muffin Pizzas.

    temporary-1.jpg
    Ingredients:

    1 light english muffin (like the ones by Thomas' and Weight Watchers)
    2 tbsp. canned tomato sauce; seasoned to taste with salt, pepper, and spices
    8 Slices Hormel Turkey Pepperoni
    1 oz. Shredded Fat Free Mozzarella Cheese

    Split english muffin, spread sauce on each half. Top with cheese. Place pepperoni on top (cut pepperoni into small pieces & it'll seem like more). Bake at 350 degrees for 12-14 minutes.

    Serves: 1

    Marinara Sauce, 2 Cup
    Sorrento - Ricotta Cheese Part Skim Milk, 1 cup
    Butterball - Ground Turkey-All Natural, 0.5 container (16 oz.s ea.)

    1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spray muffin tin with cooking spray.
    2. Brown turkey and season. Drain.
    3. Reserve 6 tablespoons Parmesan cheese and 6 tablespoon mozzarella for the top of you cupcakes. Start layering your lasagna cupcakes. Begin with a wonton wrapper and press it into the bottom of each muffin tin. Sprinkle a little Parmesan cheese, Ricotta cheese, and mozzarella cheese. Top with a little meat and marinara sauce. Use around 1-2 teaspoons of all the ingredients depending on your personal preference.
    4. Repeat layers ending with wonton wrapper on top. Top with reserved Parmesan and mozzarella cheese.
    5. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until edges are brown. Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes. To remove use a knife to loosen the edges then pop each lasagna out

    The nutritional facts will be a little different for each person depending exactly on the amounts you use. I used about a teaspoon of each one you can check out my diary for the nutrition.
