I’m joining in the fun from CHBM:

I haven’t come up with a name for this dish yet, so please feel free to name is as you wish. Hopefully you won’t name it chicken- I-will-never-make-again or what-was-she-thinking-chicken? If you do, well that’s cool too, not everyone likes the same stuff, right?

1 pound of boneless skinless chicken breast

package of laughing cow light cheese

red pepper seeded and cut lengthwise

zucchini sliced thin lengthwise in 2 inch segments

yellow squash sliced thin in rounds

Mrs. Dash

Carefully cut each chicken breast in half to form a heart shape. Smooth one triangle of cheese onto the chicken and fold breast back in half. Now here is where I mix things up a bit… If you are making several batches don’t waste tinfoil and make individual packets, place all items in a baking pan and cover. If you are making a few for just your family and it comes out even or better tinfoil wise, make individual packets. (Come on, you guys know how green and frugal I am!) Either way, place a layer of yellow squash down on the bottom with chicken on top of it. Place the remaining veggies “hugging” the top of the chicken. Sprinkle a bit of Mrs. Dash and you are ready to seal the packet and bake on 350 (or low broil if you have that setting like I do) until chicken in cooked all the way through. I then open the packet (still on broil) for about 3-5 minutes to sear the veggies a bit.

This recipe is quick and easy but also is great for making ahead and storing in the freezer. Pull a packet or two out and you have a quick ready made dinner! Oh, forgot to mention, on top of being tasty and easy, this is also low carb and healthy. But, shhhh…. don’t tell your kids!
