Nacho-Rific Stuffed Chicken



I found this recipe from the Hungry-Girl franchise. If any of you are looking to lose weight and are unfamiliar with this website, familiarize yourself with it. www.hungry-girl.com It is a wonderful way of turning dishes that taste great but aren't so healthy into healthier versions of the same dish. I picked this dish up from the website and made a few changes to it. It is originally 6 points for 1 stuffed chicken breast. I usually make mine a little bigger and add lowfat sour cream so mine will be between 8 and 9 points and is perfect for refrigerating and eating leftovers! Oh and I forgot to mention.....it is sooooo tasty!! Here is the recipe:

Ingredients:

  • 3-4 5 oz boneless, skinless chicken breasts; pounded (Mine are usually a tad bigger than this. If you want to go by the book, this is what you will need to make sure the point value is correct)
  • 1 cup canned, fat-free refried beans.
  • 1/2 cup low-fat mexican blend cheese
  • 3 wedges Laughing Cow Chipotle Fresco cheese
  • 16 baked Tostitos Scoops
  • 1 teaspoon reduced-sodium taco seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Sour Cream and Scallions for garnish

Directions:
  • Preheat oven to 350. Spray a baking sheet with non-stick spray and set aside.
  • Put the chips in a sealable plastic bag and crush with hands or a rolling pin. Then add the taco seasoning to chips and give the bag a good shake. You should have something that looks like this:

  • Next, combine the refried beans, shredded cheese, and laughing cow cheese wedges in a bowl


  • Place the chicken on a flat, clean surface and season both sides with salt and pepper.

  • Spoon filling into the center of the chicken and roll up. Transfer to the baking sheet seam-side down.

  • Cover each stuffed breast with the crumb mixture.

  • Cover chicken with foil and bake in the over for 22 minutes. Remove foil and bake an extra 15-20 minutes. (Cooking time may vary depending on the size of chicken you use)

Delicioso!!!
