I Feel Like Chicken Tonight!!

For tonight's dinner I had a very filling chicken fajita with salad at a low pro points value of just 10.This is great considering my daily pro points allowance is 29. It is also a very healthy option including my protein, carbohydrates and  recommended daily amount of vegetables. It was also extremely tasty.
Who says eating healthy has to be boring?!


The list of ingredients needed if you are cooking for 1 are as follows, and if there are more people  for dinner you can always up the quantity of whats used.
Today, I have put the pro points values next to each item for anyone that is following the weight watchers plan so the hard work is done for you  :)

Lettuce, onion, tomato, pepper, cucumber                                0pro points
1 tbls of  LOW FAT Mayo.                                                     1pro points


Preperation:
Firstly, what I did was chop the chicken breast, peppers, mushrooms and onion into pieces and place into separate bowls with chicken in one bowl. peppers and mushrooms in another and onions in another.
N.B Leave some peppers and onions aside for the salad mix.

Prepare your salad by cutting the lettuce, tomato and cucumber and adding the leftover peppers and onions.Mix them together with the mayo and a bit of pepper for flavour

Cooking Guidelines

Place the pan on a low heat with 2 sprays of cooking spray
       
Place the onions on the hot pan

About a min later put the chopped chicken pieces in and cook till the meat is white throughout!

Place your chopped veg in with the chicken and stir together.

After 5mins add 100 grams of the fajita mix to the pan.Whilst waiting for the mix to blend together, you can heat the wrap in the oven on a low heat for 3mins.

Add the mixture to the wrap and fold with a side of salad

That's it, hope you enjoy,

Regards, Naoimh
