Different Chicken Tacos
Posted by kylydia under Food, Healthier Alternative Foods, Light, Meat, Mexican, Recipe | Tags: chicken breasts, fiesta corn, lime juice, Mexican, salsa, shredded cheese, Tacos, whole wheat tortillas |I was late getting home from work, last night, and didn’t have the time to prepare or the confidence to make the recipe I’d selected for Tuesday’s planned meal. The recipe was for the slow cooker and instructed to cook two chicken breasts on High for 1-1.5 hours. I just don’t trust that. Is a slow cooker even warm in an hour?
Instead, I made up my own recipe. I’m calling it Different Chicken Tacos. The Boyfriend kept saying he liked it, but kept saying how different it was from what he normally eats. I liked it, and that’s what matters, right?
Different Chicken Tacos
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, thawed
about 2 T lime juice
3/4 C salsa
can of Fiesta Corn (our variety had corn, black beans and peppers)
whole wheat tortillas
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Arrange the chicken breasts on a large sheet of aluminum foil. Top with lime juice and salsa. Make packet with aluminum foil, being sure to seal the ends, tightly.
Bake in preheated oven for 30-40 minutes, until chicken is no longer pink in the middle.
Meanwhile, heat fiesta corn on the stovetop.
When chicken is done, cut up into fajita-style pieces. Heat tortillas in the microwave for about 10 seconds, just until warm. Fill tortilla with chicken and salsa, spoon generous amount of corn atop, sprinkle with shredded cheese, if desired. Wrap, taco style and enjoy!

This sounds good. Do you know how many WW points it is?

I’m not sure how many it was. Run it through the Recipe Builder and report back!
