    I make foil packets of chicken & veggys. Spray a large piece of foil with Pam, place flattened boneless skinless chicken breast on it sprinkle with spices add veggys-fresh, frozen, canned it doesn't matter. Close up bake on cookie sheet at 350* for 30 to 60 minutes depepnding on size & thickness of chicken.
    I do several of these on Sunday evening & have for the week, just pop in microwave for 2 minutes.
    I make them all different.... My favorite is chicken bacon (turkey bacon bits) ranch (powder or liquid dressing) with broccoli. Super yummy & little or no carbs & no cleanup.

    Actually just made this for the first time yesterday, but I know it will be on my go to list!

    Spinach, Butternut Squash & Tortellini Soup (an adaptation of a recipe from a recent email from Prevention Magazine)

    4 cups Low Sodium Chicken Broth
    2 cups Water
    1 - 14oz. bag frozen tortellini
    1 - 16oz. bag frozen leaf spinach
    1/2 16oz. bag frozen diced butternut squash
    salt & pepper to taste
    shredded parmesan cheese

    Boil the broth & water, add tortellini. When tortellini begin to float, add the spinach & the butternut squash. Add salt & pepper. Allow to simmer until heated through. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. This makes 4 large meal sized servings at 290 calories each!

    Tomato and chickpea stew - done in ten minutes, delicious!

    Chop an onion and fry in a tiny bit of oil until soft (or leave the onion out altogether - doesn't matter!). Add a tin of tomatoes, drain and rinse a tin of chickpeas and add that too. Then you add whatever veges you've got floating around, or chorizo, or both (or neither). Season, and I always put in loads of chilli. You can add whever herbs or spices you have or fancy - it's very forgiving. Feeds two.

    Have on its own, or with rice. Particularly good with a little bit of plain yoghurt on top (especially if you've gone a bit overboard with the chilli. I almost always do.)

    I have no idea how many calories are in it, but surely it can't be bad!

    Edited for typo.
