Rotel Cheesy Chicken spaghetti




Yields 4 servings

Each serving provides 
1 Leaner
1/2  Healthy Fat
3 Green
2 3/4 Condiment

1  1/2  cup lite Bertolli Alfredo sauce
1 cup Rotel tomatoes
18 oz. cooked chicken breast 
1 cup low fat unsweetened almond milk
4 cups spaghetti squash
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 cup diced red peppers
1 cup reduced-fat cheese


I cooked my chicken in a crock pot ahead of time and then shredded it. You can use rotisserie chicken and shred if desired. 

Spaghetti Squash

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees and line baking sheet with foil.

2. Cut the spaghetti squash in half lengthwise, spray the inside with cooking spray and sprinkle with salt and pepper.

3. Place the squash cut side down on the baking sheet and roast until tender, about 30-40 minutes.

4. Let the squash cool for about 10 minutes before scooping out the strands with a fork and placing them in a bowl.

Cheesy sauce 
In a sauce pan add your Lite Bertillo sauce, red pepper flakes, shredded cheese, Rotel tomatoes and almond milk. Warm up till blended and cheese is melted. 
In a frying pan spray a couple squirts of non stick spray and add your red peppers to sauté slightly. Add your shredded chicken and spaghetti squash and pour over all your Rotel cheese sauce. Warm up and serve.

Cottage cheese chips

Image
1 serving  Each serving provides  1/2 leaner 1 condiment  3/4 cup 2% cottage cheese  1/2 teaspoon everything but bagel seasoning  Preheat oven to 350. Mixed the 2 items together. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and lightly spray with nonstick spray. Put 1/2 teaspoon mounds on cookie sheet and bake for approximately 8 minutes. Always double check oven because every oven is different. It also depends on if you want them more cooked. Cook just till they start to brown around the edges. Take out of oven; cool just for a minute or so then gently pull off. They will get crispy. Approximately 24 chips but that depends on your size and how many you eat before you count!  As you can see some of mine got very brown experimenting with the correct time in oven.
