Stuffed Chicken Breasts

I found this on a website I really like to use for some cooking inspiration and YUM! This is soooooo tasty!

yield: 4 servings (5 ww pts per serving)

foil
cooking spray
2 chicken breasts
1 cup of small broccoli florets
4 pieces of any kind of cheese you like
seasonings (whatever you like for chicken)
toothpicks

1. lay out four square foil pieces and spray them with the cooking spray
2. take each raw chicken breast and cut it in half so it creates two thinner chicken breasts of the same width (does that make sense?)
3. lay each piece of chicken on a foil piece
4. season to your liking
5. top with cheese slice and broccoli
6. roll as tight as you can and stick with toothpicks to hold shape
7. loosely close the foil packet
8. grill/bake for about 20 minutes (or until chicken reaches 165-degrees internally)

Obviously there are a lot of variations you could do with this recipe. The original recipe used swiss cheese and did an egg wash and bread crumbs. Next time I'd probably only use half of a slice of cheese and see about added different (and more) veggies into it. I also think it'd be really tasty if you marinated the chicken breasts (after you sliced them into thinner pieces) in italian dressing and THEN stuff them. Yum! We'll definitely have this one again!

Quesadilla Burgers

yield: 8 burgers (4pts/burger)

cooking spray

8 slices of fat-free american cheese

4 whole wheat tortillas

1 lb lean ground beef

1. make 8 little hamburger patties (like sliders), we buy the roll of ground beef (hey - I'm a sale shopper) so I just defrosted it enough to where I could slice it into eight patties and it was still slightly frozen so it'd hold shape, this made it REALLY easy

2. grill (or fry) the hamburger patties

3. cut tortillas into forths, set aside

4. once the patties are done, spray a pan with cooking spray and set it to medium heat

5. place one tortilla section down, top with half of a slice of cheese, then the burger, another half slice of cheese and then top with another tortilla section

6. heat until the bottom tortilla gets browned (2-3 mins), then flip and repeat

7. serve it up...we had ours with salsa but you could do normal toppings like ketchup and mustard, too

The verdict? HUGE hit. We'll do this again for sure. It was really tasty and we even had ours with some steamed (zero point) veggies - YUM! If you wanted to save half a point, you could opt out of two half slices of cheese on each burger...but frankly - it's worth it! And yes...I took a picture with a bite out of the burger - I wanted you to actually see the burger, lol!
