Chicken and Veggie Fritatta 3.5 points

 This makes a great light lunch or snack. You can use any veggies you like for this recipe, but I like artichoke stir fry. For a few extra points you can add 1/4 cup of cheese (just before you put it in the oven) and a medium avocado cut in slices (before you serve), but this isn't a super filling meal, so don't add too much. For fun, you might even try adding a laughing cow light cheese wedge (1 point), cut into chunks and sprinkled over the top before you put it in the oven.
Be sure to use an oven safe skillet.

4 servings - 3.5 points

3 egg whites - 3 points
2 eggs - 4 points
2 chicken breast tenderloins (cut in chunks) - 4 points
1 bag frozen veggies (thawed, drained, and patted dry with a paper towel) - 0 points
1 cup 1% milk - 3 points
Seasonings to your taste.

Turn on your broiler.
Cook tenderloins in a pan until they are cooked through and browned. Add veggies and let cook while you crack eggs and whites into bowl. Add milk and seasonings. I like to use red pepper, lemon pepper, or Italian seasonings, but you can use whatever flavors you like best. Pour egg mix over the top of the veggies and chicken. Use a rubber spatula to gently push cooked egg from the bottom of the pan as it firms. When most of the wetness has firmed into solid egg (kind of like an omelet) toss the whole pan in the oven.

Broil for 3-4 minutes until the top is browned. Cut in quarters and serve.

Cheese Bread Soup - 7 Points

This is one of my favorite fast and light meals. The picture shows both the tear and the cookie cutter method of inserting the bread.

7 points per serving


1-2 servings
Ingredients
2         cans Progresso Pot Roast light soup           8 points
1         slice Market Pantry sour dough bread         3 points
1/4      cup Market Pantry 5 cheese Italian blend     3 points

Turn on your broiler.
Use ramekin (almost like a cookie cutter) to punch out a perfect size in the bread. or you could rip the bread into chunks and separate into two piles. Place bread on cookie sheet and broil until it's barely brown, but watch out, it will burn quickly so check it often. While it's broiling, pour soup into Ramekins and microwave for 1 minute or so to warm. Place the ramekins on the baking sheet and put the bread on top, toasted side down. Then cover each with cheese and broil until the cheese is melted. This will only take a minute or two, so be ready.

The tray will be hot, so you may want to use a table protector for hot foods while you eat.
The picture shows both the cookie cutter method and the tearing method.
