SOUTHWEST CHICKEN PILEUP
Chicken and veggies on top of a pita. I saw this recipe on the Biggest Loser Workout #2 video. This recipe can also be made vegetarian by skipping the chicken and sauteing the bean in the Mexican seasoning and garlic powder for a few minutes.

BIGGEST LOSER - WINNING "FRIED" CHICKEN
I found this on a message board and it is fantastic. It's a great "fried" chicken recipe without actually frying the chicken. Please note, the nutritional information given here on zaar is way off - according to the message board I got this from, the correct info is: 173 Calories, 29g Protein, 9g Carbohydrates, 2g Fat, 66mg Cholesterol, 1g Fiber, 171mg Sodium, which seems more reasonable than the 300+ calories zaar calculated.
