OVEN RANCH CHICKEN (LOW-FAT)



Oven Ranch Chicken (Low-Fat) image

This is a wonderful recipe that my children love. I love it too because it's only 4 points per breast if you're living a lifestyle that requires you to assign points to your food. Pair this up with cole slaw and baked beans... yummy!!!

CHICKEN SCALOPPINE WITH LEMON GLAZE (LOW FAT AND DELICIOUS!)



Chicken Scaloppine With Lemon Glaze (Low Fat and Delicious!) image

This is a wonderful lower-fat restaurant-quality dish that is easy to make, I also like to add in a few tablespoons of capers and cook with the lemon glaze if you are a lover of capers then add them in as it really adds to the flavour of this dish --- this lemon sauce is not a heavy creamy sauce which is what makes this dish lower in fat, it is more like a glaze that soaks into the chicken, and I would strongly suggest to double or even triple the glaze I most always do, and please be certain to use only dry breadcrumbs as fresh will not stick to the chicken as well --- this is *very* good!
