Jalapeño poppers Cauliflower bites

Image
1 serving  Each serving provides  1/4 fueling -1/4 bag of crushed poppers 3 greens -5.28 oz cauliflower florets  2 healthy fat- 1 tsp olive oil                      - 3 tablespoon Opa salsa ranch 1 condiment - 1 tablespoon Parmesan cheese Take your bag of poppers and grind up till a powder form. Take your cauliflower florets and put in a zip lock bag and drizzle your olive oil over the top and mix up. Add the 1/4 bag of crushed up poppers and the Parmesan cheese. Shake it all up in the bag till it’s all coated. Bake for about 10 minutes till done. You don’t want them full cooked and mushy; you want them firm; so your timing may be different also because of the floret sizes. Dip in your salad dressing. I choose 3 tablespoons Opa salsa ranch for 1 additional healthy fat. If you want a different dipping sauce look at your condiments list.

Bacon wrapped Jalapeño cheese stuffed chicken

Image
1 serving  Each serving provides  1 lean  1/2 green 3 condiments  5 1/2 oz raw chicken breast 2 slices turkey bacon 1 wedge laughing cow mozzarella cheese 1 tablespoon low fat mixed blend cheese 1 fresh jalapeño sliced in half lengthwise and de seeded 1 tablespoon sugar free BBQ sauce Preheat oven at 350 Pound your chicken breast with a tenderizer. Cut your jalapeño lengthwise and remove seeds. Microwave your peppers a couple minutes just to slightly cook. Mix your laughing cow cheese and mixed cheese and spread in the middle of each jalapeño halves. Put jalapeño halves together and place in the middle of your chicken breast. Fold or roll the chicken around the jalapeño so it’s nestled inside. Wrap 2 turkey bacon slices around the chicken bundle and bake for 30 minutes. Brush your 1 tablespoon sugar free BBQ sauce on while its baking.   You still have 2 1/2 greens to make this a complete lean and green. Maybe a salad with a dressing that is a healthy fat.
