This is a nice, easy meal I make when I am pressed for time and I need something quick, but still low on points with lots of flavor. It's a family favorite. Serves 6.

6 chicken burgers
1 onion, chopped
1 tbsp minced garlic
2 cans mushroom, drained
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1.5 cups milk
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 tbsp parsley
1/4 cup lemon juice (or a bit more, if you wish)

Spray a pot with nonstick spray and saute onion, garlic and mushrooms together, till just tender. Add the cream of mushroom soup and milk, mix well together. Then add the black pepper, parsley and lemon juice, mix thoroughly. Let simmer on medium covered for about 5 minutes.

Throw in your chicken burgers. Personally, we love Amylu brand. It's yummy, and healthy! Only 4 points per patty. We get it at Costco. At about $ 11 for  a 2.5 pound box (10 burgers), it's not bad .
Make sure your patties are well covered with the sauce. Cover the pot and let simmer on medium for about 10 minutes. And that's it, it's done. Simple, isn't it? Only 6 points per serving. Yummy!
Here served with Mexican Beans and Rice and steamed Sugar Snap Peas. This whole plate is 10 points!

Zippy Chicken Quesadillas

I like making this dish when we have some leftover chicken from the night before. It's quick and simple to make, plus it tastes oh so good! Serves 6.

6 medium tortillas
4 chicken breasts, chopped
1 can diced tomatoes
1 small can green chiles
1 bell pepper, chopped (your choice color)
1 onion, chopped
1 tbsp minced garlic
1 tsp cumin (more if you wish)
2 cups shredded cheese (I used Mozzarella and Monterey Jack)

Spray a pot with nonstick spray. Saute the bell pepper, onion and garlic together till tender. Add the chicken and cumin. If you are using fresh chicken and not leftovers, cook it till all the pink is gone. Add the tomatoes and green chiles. Cover and set heat on medium. Cook for about 10 minutes.

Before I forget, I use La Tortilla Factory Smart and Delicious Tortilla. Only 2 points per serving, AND really high on fiber to fill you up! Good stuff!
Spray a griddle with nonstick spray, and heat. Lay a tortilla on it and spoon a layer of the chicken mixture on one side, and top with some cheese, like so. 
Fold over tortilla using a spatula, and press together. Cheese will melt and will act like a "glue" to keep things together.
Flip over to the other side to heat, cook for a couple more minutes. And that's about it!
About 5 points a serving, which is good news for you. Slice it in thirds and serve it with the salsa of your choice and sour cream, if you wish. Here, I served it with mango salsa, Butter Fried Corn and steamed Broccoli. This plate is about 10 points. NO KIDDING!
