In separate bowl, mix pancake mix and chicken broth.
Spread mixture on top of chicken and cook for 30-40 minutes longer on LOW in crock pot


Note: This is NOT my original recipe. It was shared with me a while back by a friend, who got it from a friend, etc. I have NO clue where the original recipe came from but the points values were calculated by my friend using her WW Access to the recipe builder; however, brand names/products can change the points® values! I am sharing the recipe as one that I LOVE to create & my family loves to eat!

*I have also substituted leftover turkey after the holidays for a delicious Turkey Pot Pie Soup! YUMMY!

As with all "points®" please consider figuring out your OWN points® according to the ingredients you use.

I highly recommend their program and cannot say enough GOOD about it, but I also have decided that they were my "stepping stone" to making a change in my lifestyle. Any mention of Weight Watchers®, their program or their term of "points®" does not mean they have approved, seen, or endorsed anything on my blogs.

Also, if at any time Points® are mentioned it is always with the assumption that you will analyze the recipes, foods, ingredients and figure the points out specifically for your consumption of any product, as ingredients may vary by brand, size, etc.

Sweet 'n Sour Asian Chicken Salad

Today's creation came from the desire to have a much loved "junk food" that's common to the Erie area - Grilled Chicken or Steak Salad. Now you have to understand, the term "junk food" applies because generally, around here, they create this amazing, delicious one bowl dinner using less than "healthy" ingredients! I've, of course, RE-created the typical fry laden, cheese smothered dish to taste just as good but with a lot less fat & calories!

Alexia® Fries are my savior when it comes to having a wonderfully healthy alternative! They ARE french fries... just not "fried" & definitely not full of fat & calories! Each serving of Alexia Fries almost always comes out to about 3 points® per serving, be sure to check their label to make sure! Serving sizes are very generous too! Today's recipe I used the Yukon Gold Julienne Sliced Fries.

Asian Grilled Chicken Salad (8)

Ingredients:

• 1 Tbls. Sweet 'n Sour Sauce (check label find lowest points available - I used Wegman's @ 1pt./Tbls) <1>
  
• 1 boneless, skinless frozen chicken breast <3>
  
• bagged salad mix <0>
  
• 24 French Fries (Recipe is created/counted using Alexia Yukon Gold's which are SO very low in points & awesomely delish) <3>
  
• 1/4 Cup Fat Free Shredded Cheddar <1>
  
• Fat Free Dressing of Choice (I used Wegman's Fat Free Roasted Red Pepper) <0>
  
• *Optional veggies you like in your salad
• Fresh Ground Black Pepper & Fresh Ground Sea Salt
  

Bake Alexia Yukon Gold Julienne Style Fries in oven (takes 20-25 minutes)

Grill chicken breast on grill ( I use the "Big George"), add 1 Tbls. sweet 'n sour sauce at end to flavor it.

Chop chicken breast into bite sized pieces.

Place chicken, fries, cheddar cheese on top of bed of lettuce (I use the prepackaged salad mixes for speed & ease)

Top with dressing of your choice. (Fat Free)

Add any additional veggies you like (suggestions: onion, tomatoes, cucumbers)

Top with freshly ground black pepper & sea salt.

* As with all recipes points®/calories/fats will vary according to ingredients so please be sure to figure your own nutritional information out according to the packages & information of the products you use.

General Tso Chicken (6) Weight Friendly Style!

It's time to stop ordering that high point, high cal, high fat version of "Chinese" food. Here's the answer to Chinese Takeout, cheaper & better for you! So easy!

Don't let the amount of ingredients scare you. Most are "spices" and not a whole lot of prep is involved! Honest, it's a very fast & easy meal.

Note the serving suggestions. The original recipe was for the 3pt version but I find that to be fairly unrealistic as a serving size and as possible points. You can shove a lot of chicken into a cup, with or without sauce, so it tends to allow for "cheating" yourself into serving sizes that are too large for the points. My way of counting is for each ounce of chicken it is 1 pt, the sauce weighs in with the chicken, accommodating for points also. To me, this is a more realistic view. Also, it would come out to serving 4 people, much more realistic.

General Tso's chicken (6)

Serves 4

3/4 c chicken broth, Fat Free reduced-sodium
2 TBS cornstarch*
2 TBS Splenda
2 TBS low-sodium soy sauce
1/2 tsp ground ginger
1 TBS white wine vinegar
2 medium scallions, chopped
2 medium garlic cloves, minced
1/2 tsp red pepper flakes, or 1 dried chili pepper, minced
1 lb uncooked boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into 2-inch pieces
2 c cooked brown rice, kept hot

In a medium bowl, whisk together broth, cornstarch, sugar, soy sauce, vinegar and ginger; set aside.

Heat a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Spray generously with non-stick spray. Add scallions, garlic and pepper and cook 2 minutes. Add chicken and cook until browned all over, about 5 minutes.

Add reserved sauce and simmer until sauce thickens and chicken is cooked through, about 3 minutes.

Serve chicken and sauce over rice.

Yields about 1 cup of chicken and sauce and 1/2 cup of rice per serving for (3) count Or as below:

4 oz. of skinless boneless Chicken breast or Tenders = 4
1/2 cup of Prepared Instant Brown Rice = 2

*Using cornstarch as a thickener is a great way to thicken without adding points!
