RECIPE-South of the Border Chicken-MOIST & Flavorful

This one was a big hit for todays dinner. Hopefully it will be something someone else can use as well. It is so very moist and flavorful. Enjoy! This recipe is so easy to make for one or a crowd. For lack of a better name, I called this ... SOUTH OF THE BORDER CHICKEN Per 4 0z Serving 172 calories 31 gm protein Carb 4 gm Fat 1 gm Boneless Chicken Thigh(s) Pounded out between two sheets of wax paper or in a ziplock bag to 1/2 thick Place in a pan sprayed with pam or pam wannabe. Lightly sprinkle side one with Garam Marsala spice (I found mine at Super Walmart) If you can't find it, let me know and I can pick up a bottle for you and ship it. Just let me know, I would be glad to help you out. Cover with foil and place in preheated (375) oven for 10 minutes Remove from oven and turn over chicken piece (s). Spread each piece with a couple of T. of salsa, a bit of low fat cheese, freshly chopped cilantro, and chives. Cover with foil (be careful to make sure foil does not touch the cheese while cooking - I sprayed my foil with pam just in case) and place back into oven and coo****il done. I cooked a pan full ... I think it took something like 20 minutes??? After you plate your chicken, you can top with a dollop of fat free sour cream and paprika if desired. I also like to top with fresh green onions at this point. This is incredible chicken. So very moist and tasty. If you can not find the Garam Marsala, you can use cumin, but I like the Garam Marsala SO much better. I made this today and the family flipped. I also served steamed whole grain brown and wild rice (with ff chicken broth, celery, onion, tomato and a bit of my south of the border spices). I also added a side of fat free pinto beans to complete our South of the Border Menu! If only I had planned ahead and had some sugar free flan!!! I started dinner after church and within 45 minutes the meal was on the table. Fast and easy!!! It took me longer to steam the rice than to cook the chicken! Enjoy!

Tammy, Another great recipe. I'm gonna have to go to the meeting Tuesday night early to find this spice. I hate not being near a Walmart!!!! bunches. Elissa

If you can't get your hands on it, LMK, I can send you a bottle!
