SOUTHWEST CHICKEN

Steps:

• In a large skillet, heat oil over medium high heat. Brown chicken breasts on both sides. Add tomatoes with green chile peppers, beans and corn. Reduce heat and let simmer for 25 to 30 minutes or until chicken is cooked through and juices run clear. Add a dash of cumin and serve.

PVW'S SOUTHWEST CHICKEN FLOWERS

Steps:

• Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 12 cup muffin pan with cooking spray.
• In a bowl combine mascarpone, egg white, minced garlic, splenda, chili powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, & hot sauce mix well.
• In the same bowl add chicken and sundried tomatoes. Mix until chicken and tomatoes are coated. Set aside in the fridge.
• In a zip lock bag add Rice Krispies, seal the bag; with a rolling pin or a large hard glass, crunch the Rice Krispies until ground up similar to bread crumbs.
• To the zip lock bag add garlic powder, dried parsley, & 1/4 teaspoon salt mix well with spoon or close the bag and shake until well blended. Set aside.
• In prepared muffin pan layer one square of the Phyllo Sheet in each muffin cup. Spray with cooking spray, then add another layer of the Phyllo Sheet squares, and spray again. Repeat until all of the Phyllo Sheet squares are in each of the muffin cups. Make sure to press against the sides with each layers so you have plenty of room for your filling. It's okay to have the corners of the dough sticking up. It makes them look more like flowers.
• Place a small amount of chicken mixture in each cup until all cups have been filled.
• Melt 2 Tablespoons of butter and add to your prepared Rice Krispies in the zip lock bag. Using a fork or spoon mix the butter with the krispies until well moistened. You can use a separate bowl for this step if you prefer but I like to save on doing extra dishes. When the krispies are moist crumbles spoon over chicken.
• Place in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes or until cooked through.
• When finished allow the Chicken Flowers to cool for about 5-10 minutes. Using a fork gently pull the Chicken Flowers out of the muffin pan. Plate and serve!

PVW'S HEALTHIER TAKE ON CHICKEN CORDON BLEU

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Butterfly each chicken breast (cut it length wise with out cutting all the way through). Open it up and sprinkle the inside of the chicken with seasoning mix (Mrs. Dash).
• Place one slice of cheese inside each of the chicken breasts along with 1-2 slices of ham. I like to fold the cheese in half so it fits better in the chicken and is not hanging out.
• Sprinkle a little bit of the 1 teaspoon of garlic on each folded combo of ham & cheese. Then fold the chicken over to close like a packet. Secure the chicken roll closed by using a toothpick.
• Sprinkle seasoning mix on outside of chicken (I also like to sprinkle the bottom as well). Place in an oven safe dish and cover with foil.
• Bake chicken for 30-40 minutes or until fully cooked.
• To get a nice golden brown color you can remove the foil after 15-20 minutes or so. Or you can broil the tops for 3-6 minutes when chicken is fully cooked.
