Chicken Taco Casserole


Cook's Note:  This is a Weight Watchers friendly recipe that I found on Pinterest. It was easy to make and delightfully tasty. I would compare it to Loaded Nachos! And who doesn't love that? I suggest you give it a try... its yummy! I have changed the recipe only slightly to fit my tastes. According to the original recipe poster Slap Dash Mom, this is only 7 points plus per serving. Serves 6. 


What You Will Need: 
2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded
1 packet taco seasoning and 1/4 cup water mixed together
1/2 onion, finely chopped
1/2 bell pepper, chopped
1 packet taco seasoning
1 cup whole grain tortilla chips, crushed and divided
1 cup shredded Mexican Shredded cheese
1 cup salsa
1 can black beans, drained
Non-fat or low-fat sour cream for topping


Directions: 
Pre-cook chicken breasts in a skillet with 1 packet of taco seasoning and water (about 4 minutes each side). Add onion and bell pepper to chicken mixture and saute. Once cooked completely, shred chicken and set this mixture aside. 

Pre-Heat Oven to 350 degrees. 

In a large glass casserole dish, line bottom of dish with half of the tortilla chips (you are going to layer this like a lasagna). Add 1/2 of chicken mixture, next layer 1/2 of the beans, 1/2 of the salsa, and 1/2 of  the cheese. Now create the layer mixture again: Chips, Chicken mixture, beans, salsa and top with remaining cheese. 

Bake for about 20 minutes. Serve with a dollop of sour cream for a delicious dinner.

 Find it on Pinterest

Cooks Note: Everyone loves hot ham and cheese and we all know croissants are heavenly so if the recipe says QUICK, I am willing to try! These are no doubt easy and are amazingly delicious! They take no time to put together and very little time to cook. I served them with a salad for a semi-light meal. The kids loved them, I loved them and we will be having them again really soon. Enjoy!

Ingredients:

  • 4 Croissants
  • 8 Slices of Swiss cheese
  • 1 lb deli ham (I used it all, you can use as much or as little as you like. Any flavor!)
  • 2 T Dijon Mustard
  • 1 T Honey
  • 1 T Brown Sugar


Directions:

1. Cut the Croissants in half to create two sides for the sandwich
2. Mix the honey, mustard and brown sugar together
3. Spread the honey mustard mixture on each side of the croissants
4. Place a slice of swiss cheese on each croissant half
5. Top the bottom half of each croissant with as much ham as you like
6. Place the 2 halves back together 
7. Wrap each sandwich in foil. Place in the fridge for later OR
8. Cook at 350 for 10-15 minutes
