Shredded Chicken with Corn and Peppers- Low Cal

I had planned on making a chicken casserole a couple weeks ago, but once I had the chicken finished, I just decided to do tacos instead, which was a good thing, because after trying one corn tortilla, we realized they tasted awful, like laundry soap. Would have ruined the whole casserole!

This Shredded Chicken with Corn and Pepper was easy and awesome in tacos and burritos.
It made quite a bit!



Ingredients


1 1/4 lb Chicken Breast (boneless,skinless)- cooked and shredded
15 1/4 oz can corn
1 medium red bell pepper, diced
1 medium green bell pepper diced
2 tsp Chili Powder
1 tsp Ground Cumin
1/4 tsp Garlic Salt
1/2-1 c of water or chicken broth

Sautee peppers...I used a calorie free non stick spray to keep them from sticking to the pan. Add chicken and spices to pan. Add liquid to help evenly blend spices with chicken mixture.

Perfect base for tacos or burritos, top with sour cream and salsa..mmm!

Seriously so easy and so good.

This made 10- 1/2 cup size servings.
One serving is only 94 calories.

One of the Win, Lose or Blog contestants, Bailey, posted this kraft recipe for Almond Chicken Dijon a few weeks ago and I love it!

The original recipe calculates at 200 calories, I made a few minor adjustment to add one of those super food boosts, without adding extra calories.

Here's how I make mine:

1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast

2 tablespoons light mayo with olive oil

2 tablespoons spicy brown mustard

4 teaspoons ground flax seed

4 teaspoons chopped almonds

Heat oven to 375. Mix mayo, mustard and flax in a small bowl, evenly divide and spread over chicken breast. Sprinkle each chicken breast with one tablespoon of chopped almonds. Bake for 20-25 minutes.

This is SO easy and so tasty.

One chicken breast works out to be 200 calories with 26g protein! Serve this up with some veggies and a side salad and you have a low fat, low cal, filling dinner packed with protein. I've made this several times now and we all love it! You can cut out a few calories by leaving out the flax seed, but I've been trying to sneak some in our diet here and there and I think it's worth it.

It's the last week of the Win, Lose, or Blog competition! These last 7 weeks have flown by. I've lost 20 lbs so far and I'm loving the new energy I have and the lifestyle changes I've made. Feel free to check in at Win, Lose, or Blog next week to see the final results!
