Recipe of the week


Well the diet is going well and I'd like to share a Weight Watchers recipe that I fixed on Tuesday night, it was delicious!! BTW I've lost 3 pounds since Monday!!!!!! :)


Grilled Cuban Chicken with Black Bean and Mango Salsa


1/2 cup orange juice (Tropicana now has one that has WW points figured on it)
1/4 cup cilantro, fresh, chopped
3 Tbsp fresh lime juice
2 tsp olive oil
2 tsp minced garlic
1 tsp ground cumin
3/4 tsp table salt, or to taste
1/2 tsp black pepper
1-1/4 pound uncooked boneless, skinless chicken breast, four 5 oz pieces
1 cup canned black beans, rinsed and drained
1 cup mango, fresh, cubed
2 Tbsp red onion, chopped
2 sprays cooking spray


In a small bowl, combine orange juice, cilantro, lime juice, oil, garlic, cumin, salt and pepper; remove 1/2 cup and place in a large zip close plastic bag. Add chicken to bag and turn to coat; seal bag and refrigerate up to 12 hours.


To make salsa, add beans, mango and onion to a bowl with orange juice mixture; toss, cover and refrigerate up to 12 hours.


When ready to cook, coat grill or grill pan with cooking spray; preheat over medium-high heat. Remove chicken from marinade. Grill chicken turning as needed, until cooked through, about 15 to 20 minutes. Transfer chicken to serving plates and spoon salsa over chicken. Yields 1 piece of chicken and about 1/2 cup of salsa per serving.


Points value: 5


This was really good and different. I've never had a mango salsa but I really enjoyed it.
