Cheesy Chicken Shells



This was another Weight Watchers recipe I tried this week. I am enjoying the variety right now while I am getting myself back in gear with both my eating and my exercise. I know what kind of eating I'm going to be doing at the Superbowl party this Sunday, so I am being a good girl Monday through Saturday. :-)

Don't these little guys look yummy?


Here's the recipe in case you want to give it a whirl.

The only thing I tweaked on this recipe was where it called for just plain tomato sauce - I used this beautiful stuff instead.


It is some expensive stuff, but we like it enough that I will spend the money for it. It is all natural - no sugars - super wonderful for many, many diet plans. We love it.

I served up the Cheesy Chicken Shells with this yummy salad. I only do salads with like 100 ingredients. No bag of lettuce and some dressing thrown on top for me. I want a ton of veggies!

This particular salad has mixed greens with baby spinach, feta cheese, cranberries, red and orange bell peppers, cherry tomatoes and red onion. I made a dressing that is made up of balsamic vinegar, a little water, canola oil and 2 Tbsp of maple syrup. It is SO yummy!

Parents Review: We liked it, but I think the oregano was a bit overpowering. I would lessen this ingredient to almost half of what they called for. The spicy tuscan tomato sauce gave it all the flavor, so we would only make it again with this!
Kids Review: They had pizza. A little too spicy again for them.
