Spicy Peanut Shirataki Noodles (WW=4pts)


Ingredients:
4 oz. sliced, cooked boneless skinless chicken breast (130 cal./2 fat/0 fib.)
1 package Shirataki Noodles (40/1/4)
1 Tbl.  Better n' Butter Peanut Butter (50/2/2)
1 tsp. reduced sodium soy sauce (3/0/0)
1 tsp. Gourmet Garden Cilantro Blend(5/0/0)
1 tsp. minced garlic(use less if you're not a fan of garlic) (0)
a few drops each of sriracha sauce, sesame oil, and liquid Stevia(if you prefer it a little sweet) (approx. 10 cal)

Rinse noodles and squeeze out all liquid, set aside.  Spray a non-stick skillet with a light coat of non-stick spray and heat pan to medium heat.  Heat chicken breast slices in pan.  In a small bowl with a tiny wire whisk, combine the remaining ingredients.  Add a little water to bring the sauce up to 1/4-1/3 cup liquid.  Set sauce aside.  Add noodles to chicken and stir until noodles are heated through and "dry".  If you don't squeeze out all the liquid the noodles will taste gummy and feel slimey.  When noodles and chicken are heated through add sauce and mix well.  Let reduce a little until slightly thickened.  (238/5/6)=4 pts. on Weight Watchers.  Make without chicken(108/3/6) = 2 pts.

Double Sauce "Girlfredo" w/Chicken (WW=7.5pts.)



Check out Hungry Girl's version HERE. I found it a little too slimy and for only a point more you can double it. This is my version, with my added faves, bacon(1 more point) and chicken(a few more points).

The first time I tried these noodles, GAG! But there are a few steps I found out you HAVE to do. The noodles are pretty firm and stable, so don't worry about breaking them or crushing them, they can take a lot of handling. And creamy textures tend to taste better on them and have a better texture appeal.

1 package Shirataki Noodles(0)
1 Tbl. 50% Less Fat Bacon Pieces(1)
2 wedges Laughing Cow Cheese(2)
2 Tbl. Fat Free Sour Cream(0)
Salt & Pepper
Grilled Chicken(4.5)
Rinse noodles under water for several minutes, use your fingers to seperate really well. Squeeze out as much water as you can and spread on paper towels to absorb as much liquid as possible. In a medium-hot small sauce pan sprayed with non-stick spray(I'm in love with the butter flavored stuff on the shelf at Walmart, Great Value) spread noodles and bacon pieces. Stir to heat through for about a minute. Add in cheese, sour cream, and salt & pepper and mix well until all cheese is melted and noodles are evenly coated. Pour onto dinner plate and top with sliced grilled chicken. For the recipe above I split an 11 oz. boneless skinless chicken breast in half for 4.5 points to a 3 point full plate of noodles!!!! For 7.5 points, I got all of the above, and I really could have stopped eating half way, but it was SO good. Try adding any meat, leftover steak, shrimp, crab lumps, yummm!

(You can also do this in the microwave, cook on high 1 minute before adding cheese and sour cream.)

Breakfast Thin (WW=3.5 pts)

These are SO filling, you won't miss the fat at all!

1 Whole Wheat Sandwich Thin, Arnold or Orowheat(1)
1/8 cup Reduced Fat Shredded Cheddar Cheese, divided(1)
Dijonnaise Spread(0)
1 Tbl. Hormel 50% Less Fat Bacon Pieces(1)
1/4 cup Liquid Egg Whites(.5)
Open the Sandwich thin and spread bottom inside with about a teaspoon of Dijonnaise, sprinkle with half the cheese so it "sticks". Spray a small saucepan(I have a really small one, about 4" across, perfect for Egg McMuffins or 1 pancake) with non-stick butter spray and sprinkle with bacon pieces. When heated through add egg white. Stir slightly, you're making a patty, not scrambled eggs. Add salt & pepper if you like. Flip when bottom is set and top needs to be cooked. Top cooked through side with remaining cheese. Place on top of Dijonnaise & Cheese topped bottom when cooked through. Add top to sandwich and enjoy!
