BBQ Style Chicken

Ingredients:

16 ounces boneless, skinless chicken breasts ( I used chicken tenderloin)

Combine the ketchup and diet cola in the skillet. Stir well. Add the chicken breasts. Bring

Remove chicken from skillet. Continue cooking liquid until it thickens. Meanwhile, shred

Fried Squash...WW Style

I adapted the Fried Squash I traditionally love in the summer. Similar taste and I don't have to do without!

2 medium squash
Olive Oil cooking spray
2 Tablespoons of corn meal or corn meal mix

Spray skillet. Heat pan and add sliced squash. Heat till squash start to brown. Spray Squash with olive oil and sprinkle corn meal over both sides of squash. Brown and enjoy!

If the recipe I read is correct, 2 Tbsp. of corn meal is about 1 point.

12 ounces of cool whip
1 package of cream cheese
1 12 ounce can of crushed pineapple (well drained)
