Preparation:

-Remove top layer of plastic, season top of flattened chicken breast with salt & pepper, now spread one laughing cow spreadable cheese wedge on top of flattened chicken breast.

Now ENJOY!!! Again, this low fat dish is only 235 calories/9 grams of fat. This is a Hungry-Girl recipe that I found on a 2 minute demonstration on YouTube. The demonstration looked so easy and guess what, it really was. It was a nice twist and alternative to the same ol same ol chicken for dinner. Now get ready for this, the kiddos loved it!

I served the chicken with steamed carrots topped with parsley & smart squeeze non fat margarine spread along with steamed green beans. Our dinner was only 335 calories with 9.35 grams of fat... even the kiddos were amazed by those numbers.
