10 Minute Stir Fry Chicken Weight watchers
8 Points Per Serving
1 Tbs. Light olive oil
1/2 onion
2 garlic cloves
1 Tbs. Chicken bouillon granules
1 lb. Mixed stir fry vegetables
10 ounces cooked chicken breast
1 cup Carrot Sticks
2 Tbs. Oriental stir-fry sauce
To make this a really quick-to-prepare recipe, choose your ingredients
carefully. Here are some helpful hints: look for chopped onions in the
produce section; you'll need 1/2 cup of chopped onion. The produce section
also often has carrot match sticks in a bag; you'll need 1 cup. Also look
for peeled garlic cloves; all you have to do is mince or chop. Find frozen
mixed stir-fry vegetables in the freezer case; choose a variety without
added sauce. In the meat case, you'll find already-cooked chicken, often
with the word short-cut in front of it; this often comes in several flavors.
Heat oil in nonstick pan over medium high heat with chopped onions, minced garlic, chicken bouillon granules, frozen vegetables and 2 tablespoons water Add stir-fry sauce (it doesn't have to be Oriental, just a fat-free favorite of yours), chicken and carrot match sticks. Sauti briefly until all are heated through. Carrot match sticks should still be crisp, lending a great texture to this easy dish.
Mexican Casserole
Substitute any cooked beans for the cranberry beans;
black beans provide a beautiful color contrast.
Makes 4 servings
Ingredients
2 tsp vegetable oil
1 carrot, diced
1 onion, chopped
One 1-pound butternut squash, peeled, seeded and cubed
1 tbsp chili powder
2 tsp ground cumin
2 garlic cloves, minced
One 19-ounce can cranberry beans, rinsed and drained
One 14-ounce can whole tomatoes (no salt added)
1 tsp dried oregano
1/4 tsp ground cloves
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
3/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup yellow cornmeal
1/3 cup shredded vegan cheese (optional)
1/2 red bell pepper, seeded and finely diced
2 tbsp chopped cilantro
1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
In a medium nonstick skillet, heat the oil. Add the carrot and onion; cook, stirring as needed, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the squash, chili powder, cumin and garlic; cook, stirring as needed, until the onion is golden, 4-5 minutes longer. Stir in the beans, tomatoes, oregano, cloves, cayenne and 1/4 tsp of the salt; bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer, breaking up the tomatoes with a spoon and stirring as needed, until thickened, 18-20 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350 degrees. In a medium saucepan,
combine the cornmeal, the remaining 1/2 tsp of salt and 2 cups water;
bring to a boil, whisking constantly. Reduce the heat and simmer, whisking constantly, until the mixture is very thick and pulls away from the sides of the pan, about 15 minutes. Cool slightly, then stir in the cheese, bell pepper, cilantro and black pepper. Transfer the squash mixture to a 9-inch square baking dish; top with the cornmeal mixture. Bake until the casserole is bubbling and lightly browned, about 40 minutes.
Maple Glazed Salmon
1 pound salmon
3/4 cup maple syrup
1/4 cup soy sauce
Cooking spray
Plenty of coarse black pepper
Combine the salmon, maple syrup and soy sauce in a ziplock bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours and as long as 48 hours, turning occasionally. Move an oven rack to the top position and preheat to 500F.
Cover a rimmed baking sheet with foil and spritz with cooking spray. Remove the salmon (discard the remaining marinade) and arrange (skin-side down for filets with skin) on the baking sheet. Thickly and firmly, press the pepper into the top side.
Cook the salmon for about 6 minutes for individual filets or 10 minutes for fat filets or steaks. (The rule of thumb is 10 minutes per inch of thickness.) The salmon is done when the flesh has turned pale pink but remains moist.
TIPS
*Salmon steaks, individual filets and thick filets from warehouse clubs all work well. If the skin's still on one side, the salmon will be slightly tastier.
