Good comfort food - espicially in the fall and winter months. You don't need a side dish for this one, it's a one pot meal. Serve with a fruity jello topped with light whipped cream for desert.

This is a traditional southern favorite. Very healthy too!

Serve over fried whole wheat noodles or brown rice. This is also good served over crispy-sauteed cabbage strips

Great for leftover chicken or turkey! Double the recipe for bigger appetites. I like to serve these with carrot raisin salad, pineapple and big glasses of ice cold milk. Kids love these.

I love the curry and raisins together in this southern dish. Typically using a whole cut up fryer, I adapted it to use boneless skinless breasts. Serve over rice with cooked cabbage and sugar cookies for desert.

This recipe is probably a little less fat than calculated b/c of the oil left in the pan that wasn't absorbed. Oh well, eat an extra scoop of desert later ; )

Traditionally, tetrazzini is made with spaghetti. But I've replaced that with a more substantial noodle like rotini to hold up to the sturdy dish. Goes wonderfully with steamed spinach, garlic breadsticks and lemononade butter cake for desert.

Great for leftover chicken, uses 2 cups chopped cooked chicken. These are very easy, but quite messy. Grab a napkin and dig in! Serve with mexican style rice and steamed broccoli. Chocolate pudding makes a nice desert.

Yummy and rich, serve with a simple steamed vegetable like broccoli. Have fresh sliced strawberries topped with light whipped cream or fat free pudding for desert, rounding out the whole meal for under 500 calories!

This one dish meal is so easy. No need to cook the chicken or the rice first - they both cook together in the oven! Great for company. I like to serve this with a huge mixed green salad and strawberries topped with light whipped cream and a few chocolate chips for desert.

Fancy enough for company and easy enough for a weeknight! But I wouldn't have these too often as they are not very figure friendly.

cut oil by 2 TBSP... Still kept the chicken thigh - could switch to breasts

A different spin on chicken pot pie! Quick and easy!

Leftover cooked chicken is great for this. Substitute homemade flour tortillas if desired. These are very rich. I recommend a simple salad of shredded lettuce, tomatoes, corn, jalapenos and salsa topped with a dollop of plain yogurt on the side. Follow with coconut macaroons for desert.

Serve this easy meal over steamed rice. Kids will love this!

Serve over brown rice or noodles along with broccoli. Make gingersnaps for desert.

Fried, battered, dripping sauce--hot wings are calorie bombs! But not these.
