Day 11: Buffalo Chicken Quesadillas

Day 11... official marks the day I can have some dairy and reintroduce a little bit of whole wheat!  Therefore, in celebration, I made one of my favorite healthy meals!

Daily Menu:
Breakfast: Meal Replacement Shake
Snack 1:  Fresh Fruit Salad
Lunch: Leftovers from Day 10
Snack 2: Almonds

I have used this Buffalo Chicken Recipe in multiple ways... One of which was just a lettuce wrap

Tonight Though!  It was Quesadillas!
YUM YUM

Buffalo Chicken Salad
3-4 Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
6oz. Frank's Red Hot Buffalo Sauce
1 (5.3 oz) Plain Greek Yogurt Cup

In a large pot, place chicken in water.  Boil chicken for 10 minutes or until cooked through.  Let cool for 5 minutes, shred chicken.  Add remaining ingredients.

Next I for my Quesadilla I added a small handful of cheddar cheese and onion

Place in a frying pan (spray no fat/no calorie cooking spray) over Medium/High Heat for about 2-3 minutes per side 

And Voila!!!  So Delish!

Buffalo Chicken Quesadillas

Hello again!

So for the last few days I have been eating leftovers because we have sooo many!  And I decided to get a little creative.  A friend of mine posted a chicken quesadilla recipe on pinterest the other day and it looked so yummy... and it got me thinking;  I had tons of buffalo chicken salad left over and now that I am in the recovery stage I am allowed to have whole wheat wraps.... AHHHH!  It was so good I literally couldn't even stop eating for a second to take a picture.

So no picture to go with this one...
 Advocare 24 Day Challenge Friendly (Recovery Stage ONLY)

1 Whole Wheat Tortilla
Buffalo Chicken (Recipe on blog)
Handful of baby spinach
Sprinkle Low-fat Cheddar Cheese (Optional... but highly recommended)

I took one tortilla and on half of it put spinach, then a couple spoonfuls of buffalo chicken, topped it with some chopped red onions and then a small sprinkle of cheddar cheese.  Spray a little No fat/No calorie cooking spray in a medium pan.  Fold tortilla over and place in pan over Medium high heat.  Push down with a spatula (this is what gives it a nice golden brown color and hardens the torilla so that everything stays inside)  I gave it about 5 minutes on each side (or until it is golden brown enough to your liking).  I served this for dinner with Spanish brown rice (also in the Advocare cookbook).


Enjoy and happy, healthy eating!

Buffalo Chicken Salad

Happy Friday-Eve!  We tried another new recipe here tonight gotta give props to a wonderful lady I work with for sharing this one... I completely prepared this meal last night and only had to pull it out of the fridge to eat tonight (gotta love those meals right?!?)  They come in handy when you stay late at school for wedding showers ;)  I wanted to wait to post the recipe until we were able to try it though... and let me say it was delish!  And incredibly easy! 

Buffalo Chicken Salad
Advocare 24 Day Challenge Friendly (RECOVERY STAGE ONLY! )

3-4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 Plain Greek Yogurt
6oz No calorie, Low fat buffalo sauce
(I used Frank's, I believe the Advocare cookbook says to only use 1/4 cup of Frank's... I used a little more just to coat all of the chicken... but trust me it does make a lot!  It fed 3 and enough leftovers for dinner tomorrow too... so I figure since it's worth two meals maybe it's ok to cheat just this once ;))

Boil chicken until cooked through, shred and add greek yogurt and buffalo sauce to taste or until completely covered.  Add anything else you'd normally add to chicken salad.  Because everyone in my family likes different things in their chicken salad I cut up red onion, celery and grapes and kept them to the side like a chicken salad bar.  My family ate it on whole wheat wraps and I ate it on large Romaine Lettuce wraps

And Oh my Gosh!  The crisp Romaine Lettuce was so perfect with the buffalo chicken... and it wasn't too spicy thanks to the greek yogurt.  If you like more spicy add hot sauce or Frank's Hot in addition to the buffalo sauce.

Enjoy and happy, healthy eating!
