What's for Dinner

Every weekend Hubby and I plan out our dinners for the week. This way we can go shopping once, and since the arrival of little E, once is enough! Just cooking for the two of us this week as my friend who I normally cook for is out of town and will resume her meal pick-up next week.

Here is our game plan--all Weight Watchers friendly:
Sunday--Chicken Quesadillas with Rice and Beans
Monday--Cornflake Chicken with Sweet Potato Fries
Tuesday--Penne Vodka with Peas and Mushrooms
Wednesday--Chicken Special Sandwiches
Thursday--Chicken Parm
Friday--Brisket and Challah
Saturday--Burgers and Fries

All of these are part of our normal dinner rotation, but the Cornflake Chicken is a new addition. Here is what I was thinking:

Cornflake Chicken (serves 2 people, 9 points per serving):
(2) 6-0z chicken breast, cut into strips--12 points
1/4 cup low-fat sour cream--2 points
2 cup cornflakes, crushed--4 points
1/2 packet onion soup mix--0 points
salt/pepper

Pre-heat oven 400 degrees.
Place crushed cornflakes, onion soup mix and salt and pepper in a large zip lock bag.
Toss chicken with sour cream. Remove each piece and shake off excess liquid.
Place chicken into zip lock bag, seal and shake well.
Remove chicken from bag and shake off excess cornflake mixture.
Lay chicken onto a tin-foil lined cookie sheet that has been sprayed with PAM.
Spray chicken with PAM and bake for 15-20 minutes. Flip each piece and bake for 10 more minutes, or until light golden brown.

Healthy meals to nourish your mind.
