[QUOTE="hearts and roses, post: 529390, member: 2211"] [COLOR=#006400][SIZE=2]Baked chicken nuggets...I buy split chicken breasts, bone it, and make cutlets, cut them up, bread them and freeze them. When I want to use them, I take em out, pop into a dish and bake them. They come out crispy, you don't have to stand over a pan of oil and they are healthier than fried. Serve with rice made with chicken broth and a salad or broccoli and campbells cheddar cheese soup (heat and pour the cheesy soup over the broccoli - don't add water). I brown chopmeat in water - then all I have to do it pour it into a collander to drain it - low fat. After it drains you can use it for sloppy joes or chili or sauce or freeze it in one pound baggies for future use. Easy healthy chili: Toss into a crockpot browned beef (or browned chopped turkey*), one chopped zucchini, summer squash, small onion, red/green pepper, one can of red kidney beans, one small can of tomato paste, one can of petite diced tomatos (chilistyle is great), and one small can tomato sauce and spices (salt, cumin, italian, garlic, red pepper, chili, etc).
