Sunday Supper

Happy Sunday!

Today’s menu is a quick and easy one that is perfect for your family’s Sunday Supper or even as a weeknight meal.

~ Sunday Supper Menu:

• Un-fried Chicken (6 WW points per bre*ast, 7 per leg)
• Zesty Ranch Mashed Potatoes (3 WW points)
• Sweet & Creamy Coleslaw (2 WW points)


Un-fried Chicken (serves 6)

6 chicken bre*asts or 12 chicken legs, skinned (or a mixture of both)
1 cup plain non-fat yogurt
1 cup favorite breadcrumbs (I use Pepperidge farm stuffing)
1 Tbsp Jane’s crazy mixed up salt
small dash of cayenne pepper, optional
1 Tbsp Italian seasoning (don’t use if you are using Italian-seasoned breadcrumbs)
Cooking spray

Put yogurt and spices in a large bowl. Put chicken in yogurt and move around until completely coated.

Cover with plastic wrap and marinate in fridge for 30 minutes to a few hours before cooking.

When ready to cook, preheat oven to 400. Coat a baking sheet w/ cooking spray or parchment paper (I think the parchment works better – you could also use release foil). Put breadcrumbs in a medium sized bowl. (Below is a picture of my favorite stuffing to use for this recipe).

Remove chicken from fridge. Take each piece of chicken and roll in breadcrumb mixture, trying to cover most of the chicken. Put onto the baking sheet. Repeat with all chicken. Spray chicken lightly with cooking spray. Put into oven and bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until juices run clear – turning every 20 minutes.


Zesty Ranch Mashed Potatoes (serves 6)
3 medium-sized baking potatoes
¾ cup fat free ranch dressing
¼ - ½ cup skim milk
1 Tbsp Jane’s crazy mixed up salt
3 slices provolone cheese

Bake potatoes until soft. Let cool. Remove skin and transfer potatoes to a medium sized mixing bowl. Add ranch dressing and Jane’s seasoning. Mash with a potato masher or a hand mixer. Slowly add a little bit of milk until you reach the desired consistency. Scoop potatoes into a small baking dish. Cover with provolone cheese. Put in oven with chicken last 5 minutes of baking, just until cheese melts. Keep a close eye on this – the cheese burns easily.

Sweet & Creamy Coleslaw (Serves 6)
1 (16 oz) package cole slaw mix in bag
½ cup marzetti’s lite original slaw dressing

(Make this at least 2 hours before serving). Put cole slaw in a large bowl. Mix thoroughly with cole slaw dressing. It will look like it’s not enough dressing, but it will be. Put saran wrap on top and put in fridge. About 30 minutes before serving, stir thoroughly and put back in fridge until ready to serve.
