Creamy Basil Sauce over Parmesan Crusted Chicken

This is a Skinny Chicken recipe with a creamy basil sauce that makes you feel like you've had a feast. Make this recipe up when you want to impress.

The ingredients for the sauce are pretty basic except the fat free half and half. The sauce works up fast and easy and it tastes so so good over the parmesan crusted chicken.

The fat free half and half make this sauce very creamy. The best thing about this little recipe is you can have 1/4 cup of the sauce for just 2 points+ Weight Watchers points.

The chicken is about as easy as you can ask for but the sauce over the top makes it feel and taste a little extraordinary. I hope you will take the time to try this recipe out. It would rank up there with Skinny Baked Chicken but packs some impressive taste.

Yummy! And oh so easy. It actually seems a little fancy. I hope you will like it. It is definately a recipe I will be making again and again.

Homemade BBQ Sauce with Pulled Pork

I love this BBQ sauce recipe. My sister adapted the recipe from my mother's baked beans and the ingredients that she used to make the sauce. I had it on pulled pork at Susan's house and fell in love with it. I made it for my kids and they fell in love with it. The best thing about it is that there are no preservatives in it like the stuff you buy at the store.





The ingredients are pretty basic! Most of everything you will probably just have on your shelves already.






Mix all of the ingredients in a pan and bring to a boil. (I use a little liquid smoke instead of the tabasco-just because that's what I had on hand. I like it with the liquid smoke) Remove from heat and serve. You can refrigerate what you have left over and use it another day.





The end result in all it's heavenly splendor!!! If you like BBQ sauce on anything this recipe is for you! MMMMM! so good and so easy:)
