Mexican Chicken

Hey Yall,
Caitlin here- as we promised, there is a lot that we want to do with this blog that we have yet to unveil. This is one of those unveilings. Not only do we want to share in our journey toward health, we want to help you in that journey as well. One of the ways we decided to do that is through recipe posting. If we find recipes we like that are healthy we will post them to share with you. Now understand, these are not original recipes. Almost all of them will be from cookbooks or online- but we will make sure to tell you where we got them from. Also, if you have any healthy recipes that you like, email them to cnh822@cccb.edu and I will give them a try. If I like them I will repost for everyone to enjoy. Thus without further adieu- our first recipe:

Mexican Chicken- my dad concocted this a few years ago and it is surprisingly tasty and healthy. Here is what you need:
Skinless boneless chicken breast
Salsa
Fat free cream cheese.

How to make it:
First, preheat your oven to 350.
In a bowl mix 1/4 c fat free cream cheese with 1 cup salsa.
Mash the cream cheese until it is blended into the salsa- the creme cheese will still be lumpy, but mashing it helps the flavors to mesh.
At this point you should have a medium thick sauce- it should have an orange tint to it.
Pour the concoction over each of the chicken breasts (you may need more sauce, depending on how much chicken you are cooking. I found that my sauce covered 3 pieces of chicken weighing roughly 3.5 oz each, plus another piece weighing 2 oz.).  You could also stuff the sauce into the chicken, like chicken cordon bleu- but frankly I am just too lazy to do that- so I pour it over.
Cook at 350 for 30-40 min depending on your oven. Bake until fully cooked. Pull out of oven, serve.

Pretty easy right? The best part- each piece of chicken is only 3 pointsplus (if you are following weight watchers)  Here is the caloric information for you:
For a 4oz chicken breast with sauce:
Calories: 200 (probably less, but I would rather overestimate than under estimate)  

Hope you enjoy- happy eating!
