Maple Lemon Tilapia with Roasted Veggies

Tilapia is a very mild fish that is very easy to cook and season. I haven't found a way to go wrong with it yet!

Ingredients:
3-4 oz Tilapia Fillets
2 tsp zesty lemon seasoning
1 tsp smokehouse maple seasoning
4-5 tsp olive oil


Preheat oven to 375. Spray glass 9x13 pan with cooking spray. Lightly brush fish with 1 tsp oil, lay with flat side down. Mix the spices and 3 tsp oil, brush evenly over fish. Spread your veggies evenly around the edges of the fish (I chose fresh broccoli and cauliflower) Using Misto, other oil sprayer or brush, brush the veggies with the remaining oil. Cover tightly with foil and bake for about 20-25 minutes.

Enjoy :)

Makes 3 servings @ 4 Points Plus each!

Bourbon Chicken

My BFF Lorin posted that she had made Bourbon Chicken. Recipe originally found over at Mom's Who Think. I figured I would half the recipe and have enough for a few lunches and that went well until I started measuring for the sauce. BUT!! It still turned out great, very saucy!


Ingredients:
1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast (cut in to bite sized pieces)
2 tbl olive oil
2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp ginger
1 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
1/4 cup pineapple juice
1/3 cup light brown sugar
2 tbl ketchup
1 tbl cider vinegar
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup soy sauce

Heat oil in large skillet.
Add chicken pieces and cook til lightly browned. Remove chicken
Add remaining ingredients, heating over medium heat until well mixed and dissolved.
Add chicken and bring to a hard boil. Reduce heat and simmer for about 20 minutes.
Serve over hot rice.
ENJOY!

Just the chicken:
4 Servings @ 7 PPV each
5 Servings @ 5 PPV
(if I had made it with 2 lbs of chicken like the original recipe called for, it would have made 8 servings @ 5 PPV or 10 servings @ 4 PPV each)
(as pictured above chicken, rice and broccoli is 9 PPV)

Teriyaki Chicken with Pineapple and Broccoli

Ingredients: 
8.4 oz Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast cut in to bite size pieces
1 cup of cooked broccoli florets, cut up
3/4 cup pineapple tidbits, packed in its own juice, drained
3 tablespoons teriyaki marinade
Garlic Pepper Grinder seasoning (or other garlic pepper combination)


In a ziplock bag, place chicken and marinade. Let sit in refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

Preheat grill to medium/high heat (about 375-400). Make a grill packet with aluminum foil. (basically lay out a piece about 16 inches long, fold up the and but leave an opening in the middle to put in the ingredients.)

Put the broccoli in the packet, top with chicken and marinade straight from bag, then top with pineapple. Sprinkle with seasoning. Seal the top of the bag by gently folding over the top edges.

Cook for about 20 minutes

I cooked mine on the indirect grill rack for the first 15, then moved it to the direct heat for the last 5.

Serve this on its own

1 serving (eat all of it)= 7 Points+

2 servings( eat half of it)= 4 Points+

Or you can serve over brown rice!

Cajun Spiced Tilapia

I have been harassing Dart for Tilapia recipes and she sent me some fabulous ones, I just need up upgrade my kitchen some. So I went with one of her dry spice suggestions: Cajun. I had bought it in a container, just as it is and it was yummy!

Basically what I did was, preheat a large skillet over medium high heat. While that is warming, take 3- 4oz Tilapia fillets (mine were frozen) and open them up, rinse them off and pat them dry with a paper towel. Once the pan is warm enough, spray with PAM and put the fish in the pan. Sprinkle with Cajun Seasoning. Cook for about 3-4 minutes, flip, sprinkle more and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes!

4 oz Tilapia @ 2 PointsPlus
Betty Crocker Roasted Garlic Mashed Potatoes @ 2 PointsPlus per 2/3 cup serving
Birds Eye Steam Fresh Lightly Sauced Broccoli 1 @ PointsPlus Per 1 cup serving

Total for this meal:
5 PointsPlus? HOLY COW! (Fish)
