Chicken Fajita Pita

Here’s another Hungry Girl inspired meal. Extremely easy to make and again the kids and hubby will love it. Once again I was lucky enough to find this recipe on the web. Please click here for the recipe. I say inspired because I had an extra ounce of chicken I had to account for and I topped it with a tablespoon of low fat cheese. The total point value for the picture above (and below) is 5 points. The recipe, if followed to the letter is 3 WW points. My husband loved it so much he made me mark it as a definite meal to make again. If you’re into the cook books, this recipe can be found in the Hungry Girls’s 200 under 200 cookbook. There was so much food I could not stuff it all in my pita so I deconstructed it to eat it. My hubby on the other hand stuffed what he could in the pita and used the rest as a side dish. Enjoy my foodie followers.

Vegetarian Chicken Spaghetti

In a hurry? Here is a quick easy meal to enjoy for either lunch or dinner.

  • 1 Yves Meatless Chicken Burger cut in to cubes
  • 1 Package of Shirataki Tofu noodles
  • .5 cup of light tomatoe soup
  • Any additional spices like pepper, basil, Italian seasoning (no salt) etc.
  • A sprinkle of low fat cheese (about a tablespoon)

Drain and rinse noodles with cold water. Place noodles in a pre heated pan on medium heat to remove some moisture from the noodles. Add the chicken burger and cook with noodles for about 2 mins until heated. Then add your tomoato soup and any additional spices you wish. Sprinkle a little bit of low fat cheese and serve. Total WW Points 4.

NOTE: I always keep a pack of Yves meatless chicken or beef burgers in my freezer. I also have a few packs of the Shirataki noodles on hand just in case.
