Skinny Spicy Chicken Sandwich

March 4, 2014 Amanda Plott

While fast food is something that I desperately try to stay away from, that doesn't mean there aren't things out there that I want to be in love with. I'd just prefer to find a healthier way to cook them for myself and my family. Case and point... the spicy chicken sandwich.

What I was going for here is sort of a kicked up version of the one that you'll find at almost any chicken joint such as the infamous Chick-fil-a. I wanted something with a little more spice and a lot less calories and fat! And... not fried...

Healthified Asian Salad

I love a good asian style salad and yet haven't had one in quite a long time.

Many years ago when I was younger and my mother used to by an asian style salad kit. It was very tasty and one of our favorite things to eat along side any asian dish. Most commonly we would eat it with a bowl of hot and sour soup and some spring rolls. Yummy!...

Crock Pot Red Curry Chicken

A few weeks back I went to a restaurant here in Austin called 'Thai Spice' with my family and instantly knew what to order; Curry! And Red Curry at that!

It's one of those things that is so spicy that it's almost hard to eat, but tastes so amazing that you can't help but indulge...

'Starbucks' Chicken & Hummus Bistro Box

I really debated on whether or not I should add 'skinny' into the title here, but decided not to since this recipe actually has more calories in it than the one you will find at Starbucks.

And... let me tell you why.

It has a lot more veggies and a bigger allotment of chicken so that it's more of a meal rather than the snack portion you will get from the popular chain...

Avocado Chicken Salad (Mayo-less)

Oh, avocados... how I love you.

I went the vast majority of my life, up until a few years ago, absolutely hating avocados and anything to do with them. I think it was that child mentality. It's green and slimy and there for must be gross!

I'm not sure what it was. Okay. I do know what it was. Guacamole.

Now I find any excuse I can to use an avocado...

Easy Skinny Chicken Cordon Bleu

Oh. My. Goodness.

This here is some amazingness on a plate. It's all about the sauce... I was seriously having to restrain myself from spooning it right out of the pan once it was cooked and cool enough to do so.

I'm lucky we had enough left to put over the chicken!...
