Just to clarify for the questions below:
First, YES the cream cheese is figured into the totals...if you use FULL FAT cream cheese, the fat content will be considerably higher. But low fat cream cheese really takes the fat down.

Second, I haven't ever tried it with regular Italian dressing...let me know how it turns out!

Third, I HIGHLY recommend using the low setting for cooking...it allows the juices from the chicken to really seep into the dressing.

Chef Meg lowered the fat and calories in this member-submitted recipe, which contains two servings of cooked vegetables per serving!

These muffins are very filling!

Easy, tasty, good-for-you dessert!

I made this soup after trying a similar one at a restaurant. Theirs had fewer tomatoes, no beans and white rice. I wanted to add more nutrition, so I added spinach, a green pepper and more tomatoes, and I use white meat chicken instead of dark. Beans and brown rice add fiber. This new soup is a good compromise of taste and time

Fruit is often a back-up ingredient or side dish at dinnertime, but it gets a co-starring role in this meal.

Serve this flavorful, lean chicken dish over brown rice or with a baked sweet potato and steamed green beans.

This is my absolute favorite dish from Ruby Tuesday so I had to find a way to make it over. Its called the smokehouse chicken and it is a favorite by many!

This is a foolproof way of cooking salmon fillets.

Tip: The popcorn glaze doubles as a tasty caramel sauce. Serve it with low fat frozen yogurt as a treat.
