** I feel like I need to explain this before you read this.  I was doing great all day for where I was and what I needed to do, so I thought that going out to Applebee's for 1/2 price appetizers last night wouldn't have been a big deal.  I mean, most of the time the "bad" foods are like 10-15 points.  Well let me tell you that Applebee's boneless buffalo wings, my favorite thing to eat there, is 45 points!! That's right, I said it, 45 points!!  When I looked up the calories I found that they have almost 1500!! (Explains why it is so good...)

You live and you learn I guess.  It just makes me sad to know that they wont be on my menu of things that I will be eating anytime soon.  That makes me really sad because they just brought back the 1/2 price appetizers after 10pm and after long days at work I really like to go out and eat rather than make dinner at the house.

Oh well, here is the food log.**

Broccoli and Cheese Stuffed Chicken
Points: 3 points each

3 chicken breast halves
1 egg
2 tsp water
3/4 cup seasoned breadcrumbs
2 cups broccoli floret, cooked, chopped small
5 slices reduced fat Swiss cheese (I used Lacy Suiss)
salt
spray oil
toothpicks

Preheat oven to 350°. In a small bowl, combine egg, water and a little salt.
Beat with a fork to make an egg wash. Set aside. Fill a second bowl with
breadcrumbs.

Slice chicken breast halves into thin cutlets. I usually get 3 thin cutlets
out of one breast half. Pound them to make them thinner if you wish.
This helps when you wrap the cutlets.

Cut each slice of cheese in half. Place a 1/2 slice cheese in the center of
the chicken and top with a little broccoli. Wrap chicken around to completely
cover cheese, using toothpicks to secure. Season with a little salt.

Dip chicken into egg wash, then breadcrumbs.  Spray cookie sheet with oil and
place chicken on cookie sheet.  Lightly spray chicken with oil and bake
about 25 mins. until cooked.
