Are you Cooking Light?

I am always on the hunt for new recipes to try.  For those of you who do not know me very well, I love to cook and my family loves to eat good food.  There are a lot of places I go to look for new recipes to try, one of them is Cooking Light.

Here is just one of many recipes that I have found, tried and love, Southwestern Chicken Roll-Ups.

6 (6-ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves

6 tablespoons picante sauce

Dredge chicken rolls in breadcrumbs. Place rolls, seam sides down, on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray; lightly coat rolls with cooking spray. Bake at 350° for 20 minutes or until chicken is done.

One of my favorite things about recipes you find online is that they have the nutritional information available for you to see. For all of my clients with online tracking, you can take this info and save it right into your foods in your online food diary.
