I've gotta lose weight. Really. I've put on about 20 lbs. since I got married. It's ridiculous how many beautiful clothes I have in my closet that I can not wear. Ugh. I have been on a healthy kick for about a month now, but this week I've decided to try Weight Watchers. Now, I am not really a "member", but I am using the points system. I have a friend who was a member and I am hoping to take over her WW stash. Or, I'll just browse the web for numerous ww resources.
One of the resources I stumbled upon today was the Kitchen Parade. There is a lovely list of recipe ranging from 1-8 points. I found a parmesan chicken recipe and decided to use it for our meal tonight. I added sauteed zucchini and mushrooms (sauteed in 1 tsp. olive oil and pam) which are zero points to round out the meal. The chicken was so delicious. I mean how can it not be with the parmesan and dijon mixture. I added a few dried herbs to the mixture and only used one english muffin since I was only making 3 breast halves. I didn't modify the dijon or vinegar since I think they are zero pts. , but I did use only about 1/2 cup of parm. I am seriously still full from dinner. The best part was that it is only 6 points! So I have a few points left over which is fabulous since I really want a glass of wine (2 pts.) ; )
3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon white wine vinegar
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon pepper Coating:
1½ English muffins
¾ cup grated Parmesan cheese
¼ teaspoon additional pepper
1 tablespoon melted butter
6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 6 ounces each)

MMMMM That looks so juicy! This is one of my fave meals, so glad you have given me a "healthy" alternative to my regular recipe!!
This looks great! I love this meal and it's nice to know that it can be healthy!
These looks great! I never would have thought to use english muffins in place of breadcrumbs!
You totally remind me of my husband. We're counting calories and I like to have the majority of my calories at lunch so I don't eat too much before bed. He likes to save his calories so he can have dessert!
Well it looks GREAT! Totally not a bland recipe. It looks moist and delish! GL with the healthy lifestyle change! :)
Gawd, I'm feeling you on that post-wedding weight gain. I was just thinking about looking up some WW and Cooking Light recipes. Thanks for sharing the Kitchen Parade site, and good luck!
Oh, that looks so good! I love that you gave the WW points, as I have been trying to get back down to the size I prefer for awhile now... I just love food too much!
Yum. It looks like you didn't miss out in the flavor department!
If you like eggplant parm, I have the WW version on my blog. I have quite a few WW recipes there, though I don't usually post the points. If you see one you like, just ask me and I'll give you the NI.
