Another place to try is www.rachaleray.com. She has alot of quick, nutritious meals. Here's one I downloaded yesterday, and I'm trying this weekend:
***Buffalo Chicken Chili***
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil (EVOO)
2 pounds ground chicken
2 large carrots, peeled and finely chopped
1 large onion, chopped
4 ribs celery with leafy tops, finely chopped
4 cloves garlic, chopped
1 tablespoon smoked sweet paprika
1 bay leaf, fresh or dried
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 cups chicken stock
1/2 cup hot sauce
1 can tomato sauce (15 ounces)
1 can stewed, fire-roasted or crushed tomatoes (15 ounces)
1 sack whole grain tortilla chips, lightly crushed
3/4 pound Maytag Blue cheese, crumbled
A handful of flat leaf parsley, chopped
Preparation
Place a large pot over medium-high heat with the EVOO, 2 turns of the pan. Add the ground chicken and break it up, lightly browning it for 5 minutes.
Add the carrots, onion, celery, garlic, paprika and bay leaf and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, for about 7-8 minutes. Add the chicken stock and scrape up any brown bits on the bottom of the pot.
Add the hot sauce, tomato sauce and the stewed, fire-roasted or crushed tomatoes to the chili and bring up to a bubble. Simmer for 8-10 minutes more to let the flavors come together.
While the chili is simmering, pre-heat the broiler.
Spread the chips out on a cookie sheet. Top with the crumbled blue cheese and transfer to the oven to melt the cheese, 2-3 minutes. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with the chopped parsley.
Top each serving of Buffalo Chicken Chili with a few blue cheese chips.

:::Chicken Tortilla Soup:::
Yummy Mexican chicken soup that is super easy, just dump the ingredients in the crock pot and let it cook! It is delicious!
2 cans chicken broth/stock
2 cans crushed tomatoes
1 can diced tomatoes (can use another can of crushed if you don't like chunks or vice versa)
1 can whole corn kernels
1 can black beans
1 small can green chilies (optional to taste)
1 14-oz can enchilada sauce
1 small onion (diced)
2-3 cloves of garlic (minced)
2 tablespoons fresh cilantro
3 teaspoons cumin
3 teaspoons chili powder
Salt and Pepper to taste
1.5 lb. chicken (cut into pieces and cooked, I use breasts, but any meat will do, sometimes I use leftover meat from a whole chicken and just shred it up... whatever I have on hand really. Sometimes I even make it with beef!)
Optional Garnishes: sour cream, cheddar cheese, avocados and tortilla strips.
I just dump all of this in the slow-cooker and let it go for a few hours, sometimes I need to add a little extra chicken stock, depending on how thick it is...
For a great garnish, you could use store bought tortilla chips, but I like to make my own tortilla strips, and it is super easy! You need: 1 pkg. flour tortillas, and a few tablespoons of veg. oil. Just brush both sides of the tortillas with the veg. oil and cut into thin strips. Place strips on a cookie sheet and bake at 400 degrees for 7-8 minutes, turning them halfway through. They are crispy and delish in the soup!
=] This is a favorite of all my friends and family!
Try some nice fish like tilapia of flounder, lightly bread them with Italian bread crumbs and bake at 350-370 degrees for 20 minutes, depending on the thickness. Pair it with either steamed broccoli or steamed green beans and a nice salad.
