My kids love this recipe. You can reduce the calories by using a different mayo, but not all of the marinade remains on the chicken and the fat from the mayo helps tenderize and flavor the chicken.
4 3 ounce chicken breast
Raspberry Marinade (recipe below)
Marinade:
½ cup of Mayonnaise (I do not use reduced calorie)
¼ cup of Raspberry salad dressing (I use Paul Newman’s Light Raspberry & Walnut)
2 Tablespoon Raspberry preserves (I use seedless)
Salt & Pepper to taste
Mix all marinade ingredients together and add to a ziplock bag with 4 chicken breast. Marinate overnight or at least 1 hour before cooking.
Grill chicken on an outside grill or inside. I use a George Foreman grill. This allows for not adding extra oil to the recipe. Grill until chicken is cooked through about 4 minutes on each side. This will depend on how thick your chicken breast is, I like to pound them thin. Chicken will have a nice crispy glaze from the marinade.

Recommended sides: Asparagus steamed then drizzled with lemon and olive oil, Spinach sautéed in olive oil and garlic, mixed green salad.
Blueberry Yogurt Smoothie
I have this smootie almost every day for breakfast. It is tasty, filling, and satisfying.
1/2 cup frozen blueberries (make sure sugar isn't added)
1/2 cup non-fat white milk
1 cup vanilla yogurt (I use Wegman's all natural)
Add all ingredients to a blender and puree until smooth. The frozen blueberries keep this drink thick and cold. Weight Watcher points* 6. I use vanilla yogurt instead of low fat because the flavor is better.
Variations: Bananas, strawberries, raspberries, mango - the sky is the limit.
