Weight Watchers Chicken Pot Pie


I found this on Pinterest! Which took me to -->here<--

“4-6 points per serving”

Ingredients

    • 1 cup Bisquick reduced-fat baking mix
    • 1/2 cup skim milk (fat free)
    • 1/4 cup egg substitute
    • 2 cups frozen mixed vegetables
    • 1 small yellow onion (diced, and sauteed)
    • 2 cups cooked chicken breasts, chopped (I shredded it)
    • 2 (10 3/4 ounce) cans reduced-fat reduced-sodium condensed cream of mushroom soup

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400.
  2. Spray 8×8 casserole dish with cooking spray. (I used an 8x11.5 dish..cause it was the first dish I saw)
  3. Mix together veggies, chicken and soup. Pour into casserole dish.
  4. In another bowl, mix Bisquick, milk, and egg. Pour over top of chicken mixture. ( I actually rolled this out, and layed it across the food. I rolled it out pretty thin, to cover the dish)
  5. Bake for 30 minutes, or until crust is golden. (mine didnt take as long due to the dough being rolled thin)
  6. 6 servings=4.5 points.
  7. 4 servings=6.5 points.
This was so good, and so easy to make! I had to refrain from getting seconds!

"Spicy" Sausage Pasta

I found this on pinterest, which directed me to: "EmilyBites.com", She got this recipe off another blog, who got it from a book...

 I put spicy in " " because its no way spicy. I was afraid it would be and my kids wouldn't eat it..but they ate seconds. I love spicy, so I was disappointed. It was super good though!

Ingredients:
1 t extra virgin olive oil
1 cup chopped onion
13 oz Smoked Turkey Sausage, sliced 
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 ¼ cups low sodium fat free chicken broth
10 oz can Ro-Tel tomatoes & green chiles
½ cup fat free half and half
½ t salt
½ t black pepper
10 oz uncooked wheat pasta
4 oz reduced fat Pepper jack cheese, shredded
2 medium green onions, diced

Directions:
1.    In a large skillet or sauté pan, add the olive oil and bring over medium heat. Add the onions and sausage to the pan and cook, until sausage is browned and onions are tender. Add the garlic and stir. Continue to cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
2.    Add the broth, Ro-Tel, half and half, salt and pepper and mix together. Add the uncooked pasta and stir together until the liquid covers the pasta. Cover the skillet and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and keep covered. Simmer for 15 minutes or until the pasta is cooked.
3.    Set your oven to broil. Remove the pan from the heat and mix in half of the shredded cheese. If your skillet is oven-safe, you may continue to use it in the following steps. If it isn’t, or you aren’t sure, transfer the pasta into a baking dish. I used a 9X13
4.    Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheese over the top of the pasta. Place the dish under the broiler for a few minutes until the cheese is melted and beginning to brown (keep checking because broiling can happen really fast!). I topped it with the green onions after serving, because I'm the only who likes them.

Yields 6 (1 ¼ cup) servings. WW P+:  9 per serving
