Tonight's dinner.
Chicken with Corn. From Weight Watchers Magazine. Makes 4 servings. Pointsplus 6
1. Remove kernels from 3 ears husked corn on the cob. Mix Kernels with 2 Tbs. water in a shallow microwavable casserole. Cover with paper towel and microwave on high until corn is crisp-tender, 1:30-2 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, whisk 2 tsp olive oil, 1.5 tsp balsamic vinegar, and .25 tsp kosher salt in a large bowl; stir in 2.5 c. diced cooked chicken breast, 1 c. halved tiny red & yellow tomatoes, .25 c. chopped fresh basil and 12 sliced pitted green olives.
Combine.
Also making Cauliflower Tots. I initially heard about them on pinterest, but did a search for a weight watchers friendly version (linked above).
Review
Salad: This is absolutely delicious! I will definitely make this again.
Tots: I screwed up the recipe and they still came out well. I wound up ricing the cauliflower in my cuisinart (like the recipe said), but I didn't cook it. I just tried to squeeze out the water (does anyone have a good method for this? I used paper towels... there has to be an easier way). Then I added the ingredients, shaped the tots, baked them on parchment (highly suggest)... and they came out great! Pretty sure I could eat the entire recipe. And since other than cauliflower it's just 1 egg and 1 egg white... oh and half a cup of low fat cheese... it can't be that bad. The recipe says 15 for 3 points. I don't know that mine were the same size as the original chefs. Even my husband liked these and I've made cauliflower faux mashed potatoes before, and he HATED them. So this is kind of huge.
Anyway - good dinner tonight!
