Weight Watchers Quick Lunch

Being that I am doing Weight Watchers with my daughter I am now trying to find quick meals that fit into the plan for Weight Watchers. Here is a quick recipe for a wrap that even if you are not on a diet you will love. I will post the whole recipe but I did it a little different and made it quicker. I basically cooked boneless chicken breast, sliced into strips. The I used a flour tortilla and put the coleslaw mix on it then the chicken breast and drizzled Hoisin sauce over it. A small amount of shredded cheddar can be added if you want.

Crockpot Buffalo Chicken

Well this recipe came to me from a friend.  Since my kids love buffalo chicken I decided to try it.  It turned out very good and the kids ate it up. They did say they didn't like the celery seeds, so it must be a taste thing. If you don't like buffalo sauce then this is not for you. I may try something different next time and change the flavor a little. I may use 12 oz of Ken's Buffalo Wing Sauce instead of Frank's Hot Sauce.  Give it a shot if you like buffalo sauce and let me know how you like it.
