Lightened-Up Chicken Stips and French Fries

This is too simple to really be considered a recipe, but it's a great way to satisfy that craving for fast food chicken strips.  My sister-in-law Rachel reminded me the other day about Shake-N-Bake.  I hadn't used it in a long time, but it's really point friendly!

Ingredients:
1 lbs boneless, skinless chicken tenders (trimmed of fat)
1 Box Shake-N-Bake (I used the garlic flavor)
1 Bag Frozen Steak Fries

Directions:
Coat chicken pieces in breading and place on a cookie sheet.  Bake according to package directions.  Place desired amount of steak fries on a cookie sheet and bake according to directions.

The brand of steak fries I bought were 16 fries for 4 weight watcher points.  The chicken is one weight watcher point per ounce plus one point per piece of chicken for the breading.

Spinach and Feta Stuffed Chicken Breasts

I haven't made this in a while, and I forgot how much I LOVE it! I served the stuffed chicken breasts with garlic new potatoes (I'll post that recipe tomorrow) and petite green beans.

Ingredients:
Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts
1 Tbs of crumbled feta per chicken breast
1/2 cup fresh baby leaf spinach

Directions:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Trim chicken of all fat.  Pound chicken to make it thinner or butterfly it if it is a large chicken breast. Place chicken in a cooking dish.  Sprinkle one Tbs of feta over each chicken breast and top with 5-6 spinach leaves.  Roll chicken from small to large end; secure with a toothpick if necessary. Bake chicken seam side down until it is cooked through and juices are no longer pink.

Weight watcher points depend on the size of the chicken breast.  Add one point for each ounce of chicken plus one point for the feta cheese.
