Monday's Recipe

I'm enjoying cooking again, and especially since we are back on Weight Watchers, am going for very healthy, but yet still very tasty, foods. Anyway, I've decided to make Monday my recipe day. Feel free to comment, or even post your own variations!

Grilled Chicken with Black Bean Corn "Salsa"

Serves 4 (approx 480 calories a serving)

Ingredients:

4 chicken breasts
1/2 cup corn kernels
1/2 cup chopped tomatoes
1/2 cup black beans (rinse if canned)
1 Tbsp chopped fresh cilantro
1 Tbsp lime juice
3 cups cooked brown rice

1. Season chicken breasts (salt and pepper, or if you want more of a "kick", use a different seasoning. My favorite seasoning at the moment is McCormick's Grill Mates Steak Rub), and grill until done.

2. While chicken is grilling, mix remaining ingredients and put in fridge until chicken is done.

3. Dish salsa onto the chicken and serve with rice. Enjoy!

Now, Jonathan and I often like to chop up our chicken, and roll up the chicken and black bean corn salsa in a tortilla wrap for a burrito effect. Old Mission has several great wraps, including their original, sun-dried tomato basil, spinach herb, garden vegetable, and whole wheat. Also, it's great dish for leftovers! The salsa tastes even better after it has sat for awhile.
