Weight Loss Wednesday- Weight Watchers Mexican Chicken


I haven't done a Weight Loss Wednesday for a while, and I have several friends doing Weight Watchers, so I thought I'd share one of my tried and true Weight Watcher Go-To meals.

This simple meal is LOW POINTS with BIG FLAVOR!!!

You will need a Chicken Breast per person (aprox 4oz a pc)
Taco Seasoning
gallon zip lock bag
Salsa
Sour cream or sub greek yogurt if you wish


1. Place taco seasoning packet in a gallon sized ziplock baggie. Add thawed chicken breasts to baggie and shake to cover well.

2. Place in baking dish and cook aprox 30 minutes or until juices run clear and chicken appears done.



3. 10 minutes before chicken is done. Add 1 cup of Salsa to the tops of Chicken breast and continue cooking til done.

4. Once done, top with2 tbsp sour cream or greek yogurt sub per breast.

You can eat this on top a salad like shown above, or with mexican rice, or beans. It just depends on how many points you want to use on the additions. I LOVE this on salad...or tacos. OR you can eat it alone with a side of vegetables to keep the point count really low.

4oz Chicken Breast with salsa and 2 TBSP reduced Sour Cream= 5PP


HAPPY EATING!!
