Chris won't be home for dinner tonight so I am going to do something really easy for the kids and I but here's a recipe that I make sometimes and we really like it.
Chicken Picadillo
You will need:
2 tsp corn oil
2 onions, chopped
2 cups shredded cooked chicken breast
1 Granny Smith apple, peeled, cored and chopped
1 cup stewed tomatoes (I use mine)
1/4 cup low sodium chicken broth
2 TBSP raisins
2 tsp cider vinegar
1 tsp minced chipotles en adobo (I buy a can, freeze them individually in ice cube trays and then pop one out when I need it and use the Pampered Chef chopper to chop it up)
1/8 tsp ground cinnamon
In a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat, heat the oil. Saute' the onions until lightly browned, 8-10 minutes. Stir in the chicken, apple, tomatoes, broth, raisins, vinegar, chipotles, and cinnamon; cook, stirring frequently, until the liquid is slightly reduced and the flavors are blended, about 10 minutes.

This works out to 5 WW points per cup. I serve this with rice.
Welcome to My Kitchen
This is the place that I love to be. I like to be creative and cooking is what is doing it for me these days. It's kind of a necessity and it makes me feel accomplished. I like knowing what we are eating and where it comes from. I go out of my way to make sure this happens.
I like that I don't buy several household staples from a grocery store. I enjoy making applesauce, jams and jellies, apple butter, spaghetti sauce, spicy mustard, pickles and anything else I can.
I like getting dirty, getting my hands into things, feeling and experiencing my food from the beginning to the end. I like making things, growing things and bringing those two together to create a healthy meal. I like nourishing others and knowing that I did my best to give them the best.
