Chicken Gyro

Behind Pizza and Pasta with Vodka Sauce, a good Gyro is my favorite food but it is always covered in grease and a unhealthy sauce. I found this recipe on Slender Kitchen and plan on making it again and again. At only 6 points plus per Gyro this can be completed as a meal by just adding a side salad.

Ingredients

1 lb Ground Chicken

1 Medium White Onion, divided

1/2 t Ground Black Pepper

8 Tortillas

Slow Cooker Baked Chicken Burritos

My Sous Chef inspecting the spices

When I first ran across this recipe on Laaloosh I was wondering how someone would slow cook a burrito. Well only the filling is slow cooked, it is then wrapped and covered in enchilada sauce and a small amount of cheese and baked. These are packed with so much flavor I am trying to figure out when I can make them again!

Ingredients

1 lb Skinless Boneless Chicken Breasts

1 - 15 oz can Diced Tomatoes

1 Large Green Pepper, Sliced Thinly

1 - 4 oz can Chopped Green Chilies
1 can Jalapeno Infused Black Olives

1 Medium Red Onion, Sliced Thinly
4 Cloves Garlic, Minced
1 Packet Taco Seasoning*

8 Tortillas
1 - 15 oz Can Enchilada Sauce
1 c Reduced Fat Mexican Cheese

* I created my own taco seasoning because I don't like the amount of sodium in normal mixes. I will list that recipe below.

Directions

1. Place Chicken, Tomatoes, Green Pepper, Green Chilies, Black Olives, Onions, Garlic, and Taco Seasoning in the Slow Cooker. Cook for 5-6 Hours on Low.

Chipotle Chicken and Avocado Wrap

Another inspiration from Skinny Taste that will go great with the Cold Corn Soup. When this recipe was originally posted it had lobster but since I have a slight allergy to shellfish I substituted chicken. It still creates a great wrap! The originally recipe was 6 points plus per wrap.

Ingredients

1 lb Chicken Breast, Cooked and Chopped

3 T Light Mayo

2 T Fat Free Greek Yogurt

1 T Chopped Chipotle Peppers in Adobo Sauce

1 Green Onion, Finely Chopped

1 T Lemon Juice

1 T Minced Cilantro

1 Medium Avocado, Diced

8 Medium Romaine Lettuce Leaves

4 - 8" Tortillas

Directions

1. In a medium bowl combine Mayo, Yogurt, Chipotle Pepper, Green Onion, and Cilantro.

Chicken Enchilada Skillet

I LOVE Mexican food so when I ran across this recipe on Emily Bites I had to try it. I combined it with a corn soup to complete the meal. I will post that recipe later. I made the soup yesterday and chilled it overnight for today. Today I prepped all the ingredients before I started cooking to make a quick easy cooking process. The Enchilada Skillet is 8 points plus for 1/6 of the skillet.
