A new twist on an Italian favorite!

So, I recently started weight watchers, which means changing the way the whole family eats. I have found myself looking for healthy recipes to make for dinner. This has definitely been a challenge with a picky 4 year old and a husband who likes his junk food! I have been figuring out how many points each recipe is before hand so that I know how healthy it really is! Here is one of the family favorites that I found out is actually pretty healthy! I got the recipe off the Hunts website quite some time ago, they have great dinner ideas!

Chicken Bruschetta Skillet

  • 1 can (14.5 oz each) Hunt's Diced Tomatoes, drained
  • 3/4 cup shredded Italian blend cheese, Reduced Fat
  • 1 pkg (0.75 oz each) fresh basil, chopped (about 1/4 cup)
  • 4 large boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 1.10lbs)
  • 1 can (8 oz each) Hunt's Tomato Sauce
  • 1 teaspoon finely chopped garlic
  • 2 cups small garlic- or Italian-flavored croutons, crushed slightly

  1. Stir together drained tomatoes, cheese and basil in medium bowl; set aside.
  2. Pound chicken to 1/2-inch thickness (I just buy the thin sliced chicken breasts when I make this recipe!) Top evenly with tomato mixture, pressing onto chicken. 
  3. Combine tomato sauce and garlic in large skillet; add chicken. Bring sauce to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover and cook 15 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink in centers (165°F). Top with croutons just before serving.


It is only 7 WW+pts when split into 4 Servings. I like to eat mine with a side salad or some steamed vegetables but my family goes for the pasta aspect! I usually get some Whole Wheat Pasta for them which is not that bad if you wanted to have some too!
