King Ranch Chicken

So apparently there are one million and one variations of this recipe. Well, I had one ready for us to try and was going to see what I could do to change it around a bit to make it a bit more ww friendly...

yield: 6 servings

2 chicken breasts: cut into small pieces
1 onion: chopped
1 green pepper: chopped (we didn't have one so we missed out on this)
1 can of mexi-corn: drained
1 can of rotel tomatoes: drained
1 can of fat-free cream of chicken soup
1 tsp chili powder (I used .5 tsp of hot and .5 tsp of mild)
black pepper to taste
1 tsp minced garlic
1 package of the small tortillas (we used flour ones)

1. saute the onion and green pepper in a large frying pan
2. add chicken, garlic, chili powder and pepper
3. cook until chicken is cooked through
4. add rest of the ingredients
5. cook until heated through
6. serve with tortillas and shredded cheese

For ww points, if you really limit the shredded cheese (which isn't hard to do because this is really flavorful without it) and tortillas...you can make this really low points. Per serving without any shredded cheese or a tortilla, it is 3 ww pts. Each tortilla is 2 pts. So I took half of a tortilla and broke it into little pieces and ate the mixture with the tortilla pieces in it so it was only 4 pts.
And I was kind of slacking on the photography portion of this recipe...but here is what it looks like in our tupperware for Mike's lunch...lol...
