Core, OR 3 points per serving (with cabbage, add extra poionts for rice)
Serves 4
Taken from Weight Watchers My TurnAround Program Cookbook. P 126. Grilled Chicken with Salsas
1/2 C. FF Tomatillo Salsa (I could only find Salsa Verde, which I'm not sure if it's the same)
1/2 C. FF Tomato Salsa (hot, med or mild)
1/4 C. finely chopped onion
1 tsp. grated orange zest
1/8 tsp ground cumin
4 (1/4 lb.) boneless, skinless, chicken breast halves
4 cups shredded green or red cabbage
OR Brown Rice
Combine the salsas, onion, orange zest and cumin in a ziploc baggie. Add the chicken. Put in fridge for 20 min. Remove chicken from marinade, shake off as much marinade as possible. Grill chicken on George Forman Grill or in a skillet over med heat (about 250 degrees). Cook until done about 10-12 min. Bring marinade to a boil in a separate pan. Boil for 2 min. Remove marinade from heat. Shred chicken and add to marinade. Reheat all and serve over steamed or raw cabbage. Can buy coleslaw mix (cabbage) to be faster.
I served mine over rice instead. I thought it was really good. Hubby thought it was okay, but not his favorite. I did not shred chicken and I liked it, but next time I will try shredding it. I would like to try it with hot salsa, instead of mild. Could also serve with noodles, or just as a main dish. I think next time I will double the marinade, so I have more to serve over the top.

Cook chicken in frying pan sprayed with pam. Once cooked through, add seasoning pkt and some water (like you're making taco meat). Once liquid has evaporated, make your fajitas. This is the way I made fajitas even before Weight Watchers.

Hunter-Style Chicken
Hunter-Style Chicken (Chicken Cacciatore)
Serves 8.
Serves 8.
4 points per serving.
1 serving is 1 piece of chicken with scant 1/2 c. vegs and sauce.
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut each in half to make 8 pieces
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
3 tsp EVOO
1 onion, chopped
3 garlic cloves, pressed
2 assorted colors bell peppers, cut into 1/2 inch pieces (I used 2 green)
1/4 lb fresh mushrooms, sliced
1 celery stalk, chopped
1 (1 pint) container refrigerated fresh tomato pasta sauce (I used spaghetti sauce which probably changes the points, and also it would not technically be core unless you made the spaghetti sauce with core ingredients)
Sprinkle chicken with S and P. Heat 2 tsp oil. Cook chicken on Med-high until browned, about 3-4 min on each side. Remove chicken and set aside. Heat remaining oil in same pan. Cook onion and garlic over med-high until softened about 3 minutes. Add peppers, mushrooms, and celery. Cook until softened, about 5-6 min. Return chicken to pan. Add the pasta sauce and stir to coat. Bring mixture to a boil. Reduce heat, simmer, covered until chicken is cooked through and vegs are tender, about 20 min. I added to my regular recipes. Taken from Weight Watchers My Program Cookbook. The picture has a lot more sauce than the first time I made it, I think I had twice as much chicken the first time. The points are probably different because I used spaghetti sauce.
