Healthy Recipe Ideas

[Eeyores Butterfly]

I would like some ideas for a healthy recipe for some left over rotisserie chicken.

So far I am planning to make a wrap using Flat Out with Weight Watchers shredded cheese. I am thinking of adding some cilantro to it. Any other ideas to make it flavorful without making it high calorie?

When I want chicken soup I sometimes use a rotisserie chicken.

Chop up onions and celery (I like to get the leafy part of the celery too)
Put the whole chicken into the crockpot or a soup pan
Cover with water
Cook for 2-3 hours or more
Carefully remove chicken and take meat off the bones
Put the meat back into the stock.
Add chicken base to taste (This is salty so I don't add salt)
Poultry seasoning to taste
Tarragon to taste
Add dried parsley

If you have time refrigerate overnight and take off excess fat

Bring back to a boil and add a couple of handfulls of egg noodles. I make this everytime someone gets sick. If you want a "Greek" version add a bit of lemon to your individual bowl.

I have a great white chicken chili recipe, but it would depend on how much chicken you have left. I put the recipe in weightwatchers and it is 4 points per serving! And so good and satisfying!

Let me know if you want it!

I'm open to any recipes. I was thinking specifically along the lines of the wrap I am trying to make for lunch tomorrow, but these are definitely getting filed away for later!

Put some salsa on the sandwich - I prefer the refridgerated kind myself. Hummus is another good sandwich topping.

You could add a little bit of pesto to your wrap. I know that is not exactly low fat but you really only need to use a very small amount to add a lot of flavor.
