Dijon Lime Chicken

Another day, another Pinterest/Weight Watchers recipe. This time, it was Dijon Lime Chicken. I liked it, but the jury is out on Jeff. I got "It doesn't taste like I thought it would." and "It doesn't have much flavor, but I like it."

Not exactly a glowing recommendation.

So if you decide to throw caution to the wind and give this a try, here's the recipe:
-4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
-3 tablespoons dijon mustard
-2 tablespoons lime juice
-1 tablespoon lite mayonnaise or Miracle Whip
-1 teaspoon black pepper

Preheat oven to 400 degress. Lay chicken on greased baking dish. Mix dijon mustard, mayonnaise, lime juice, and pepper together and spread on chicken. Bake for 45 minutes or until done.

It took ours about 50 minutes to be done. The picture looks like I burned it, but oddly enough, I didn't.


We'll see if this actually gets added to the rotation. What you see pictured will be tomorrow's dinner, so maybe a decision will be made by then. It's 5 Weight Watchers points a serving, so if nothing else, it's well within Jeff's point allottment for the day.

Does this look Weight Watchers friendly?


I'm not completely positive it was, even though my Weight Watchers recipe expert website, Pinterest, told me it was only 3 points a serving. When you follow the recipe perfectly, it probably is.

Butterfinger Pie
-Low fat graham crackers (I used chocolate)
-2 containers Fat free Cool Whip
-1 Butterfinger bar (I used a bag of fun size)
-Sugar free caramel sauce

Lightly grease a 13"x9" Pyrex pan. Line pan with graham crackers. Chop up the Butterfinger, mix with Cool Whip, and pour on top of the graham crackers. Pour caramel sauce over Cool Whip mixture. Refrigerate.

It seemed to go over well at dinner, although I have a sneaking suspicion my mother thought it was too sweet. Whatever...Jeff seemed to like it and he's the one on Weight Watchers, so we're going to consider it a success!
