  1. Wow! This was terrific! I now have a super easy chicken recipe to use when I'm under pressure for a great tasting and healthy dinner. So simple and such great flavor. I chose to grill mine since it was so hot today and I didn't want to heat up the kitchen. Grilling really brings the flavor of the spices out too. I served it with Recipe #21843 Thanks for posting!
     
  2. I was looking for something to go with Recipe#222264 and I came across this recipe. And when I saw Weight Watchers, in the recipe description I thought "No way that this is going to be good".But to mine and SO's surprise it was very good.The chicken had just the right amounts of seasonings and it was pretty moist. This will be made again. Thanks for posting and "Keep Smiling :)"

I have always enjoyed cooking and looking for recipes. I have to admit though, until I joined Weight Watchers four years ago I never did much cooking. Since then it has became vital to do my own cooking and I find I am really good at it. I really enjoy trying new ingredients like Quinoa, Millet, Porktenderloin, hoisin sauce, beans, Textured Vegetable Protein among many other new ingredients. My family has started thinking I am a little weird with all the unusual ingredients I have in my pantry. My passions are my 3 nephews, Matthew, Lucas and Charles and my 8 parrots, Guy, Pete, Toby, Daisy, Zeke, Ernie, Max and Lu. They keep me positive when life takes a nose dive.
