Dinner Last Night (recipe)

french526 · March 2009

Last night's dinner was SOOO good so I have to share it with you guys (Oh, and Paula I have not forgotten that you want my other recipe that I keep forgetting to send...I'll try to do that tonight!).

Picante Chicken (From the Biggest Loser cookbook)

4 chicken breasts, trimmed of fat

1/2 cup mild picante and 1/2 cup medium/hot picante (It calls for 1/3 and 1/2 but it didn't seem like it was enough so I added more) mixed together.

Softened cream cheese (fat free or reduced fat of course)

Reduced fat shredded cheese (I used the mexican cheese)

preheat oven to 350. Put half of the picante mixture on the bottom of a 13*9 pan. Cover one side of each breast with cream cheese (It doesn't take much - less than one ounce total for all four). Place in pan with cream cheese side facing up. Pour remainder of picante mix evenly on top of chicken. Cover with aluminum foil and cook for 15 minutes. Remove from oven, remove foil, pour cheese evenly over chicken and cook uncovered for 15 more minutes.

And it's done. Quick, easy and my husband loved it (he even helped me clean the house afterwards!)...

LOL - no need. This is in the BL cookbook I have and actually we're having this for dinner Thursday night!

Oh...this sounds yummy. I'm going to have to try it. Thanks!

Sounds good and really easy!

Yum, thanks for posting. I am always looking for new, healthy recipes for dinner.

Mandy, I was just thinking - I think we double the recipe for us (it lists the serving size as like 2 oz chicken! That's NOTHING to eat... so we typically have like 4 oz or so per person.)

french526 · March 2009

hm...I can't remember if it said 2 oz or not. I'll look when I go home to eat lunch (which is going to happen right now!)

Stupid question alert:

is picante the same as salsa or is picante just a red sauce (like enchilada sauce)?

french526 · March 2009

Picante is basically salsa. I buy Pace Picante Sauce.

Paula: My recipe calls for 4- 4 oz chicken breasts. Although I did forget to check and see what it says one serving is in the calorie portion. I'm pretty sure it said it made four servings though.

I can look tonight too - we've got the cookbook, but also the recipe printed out from the BL website when we had joined up last year. (A LOT of the recipes printed off from online are somewhat off on either serving size, or amount of ingredients!)

french526 · March 2009

I wonder if we have different cookbooks? Perhaps they have some of the same recipes though?

This is the one I have:

mspaulak01 · March 2009

Yes, that's the one I have, I believe. (We got that and another BL book when we joined last January.) I'm tempted to check out other BL cookbooks, but I dislike how often they site specific company's ingredients and those aren't always available in this area.

french526 · March 2009

I've ran into that problem a couple of times (where they cite specific brands). Usually I can work around it. But sometimes I do end up in the grocery store going "where IS this stuff..."
