Ingredients

½ cup pineapple juice

6 ounces raw boneless skinless lean chicken breast

4 medium white mushrooms

½ medium onion, cut into 8 slices

½ medium yellow bell pepper, cut into 4 slices

½ medium red bell pepper, cut into 4 slices

½ medium green bell pepper, cut into 4 slices

½ cup pineapple (4 chunks)

2 tablespoons teriyaki sauce

Directions

Cut the chicken breast into 12 chunks. Place them in a small bowl and then cover with pineapple juice. Cover the bowl and let chicken marinate in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.

Once the chicken has marinated, drain the pineapple juice from the bowl. Evenly distribute the chicken, pineapple, and veggies among 4 skewers. Suggested stacking per skewer: 1 slice onion, 1 slice green pepper, 1 chicken chunk, 1 pineapple
chunk, 1 chicken chunk, 1 slice yellow pepper, 1 mushroom, 1 chicken chunk, 1 slice red pepper, 1 slice onion.

In a large pan sprayed with nonstick spray, cook kabobs over medium-high heat for about 10 minutes, flipping halfway, or until desired texture is reached and chicken is cooked thoroughly.

Drizzle with teriyaki sauce immediately before serving.

Americans spend over 120 billion dollars on fast food every year (probably because it tastes good and is convenient). Well, the swaps in this chapter are not only delicious, they're also
easy
to make. And making better-for-you junk food is
really
fun (yeah, we're dorks!). There's nothing quite like that "Eureka!" feeling you get when you discover a
brilliant
way to turn some high-cal, fatty dish into something healthy. This chapter contains a bunch of recipes that feature HG's famous Fiber One "breadcrumbs." They can literally help you turn almost any deep-fried item into something baked, crunchy, and good for you. You'll also find guilt-free swaps for nachos, fries, giant burgers, pizza, and more . . .

1 breaded-chicken-style soy patty

1 cup peeled and cubed butternut squash

¼ cup fat-free chicken gravy, heated

2 tablespoons canned sweet corn kernels, heated

2 tablespoons shredded fat-free cheese (cheddar or American) Salt and black pepper, to taste

In a covered dish, microwave butternut squash pieces with ¼ cup of water for 4 to 6 minutes or until tender. Drain excess water and then mash squash with the milk. Season to taste with salt and black pepper.

Place mashed squash in a medium bowl. Next, sprinkle corn over the squash.

Prepare "chicken" patty according to package directions, in the microwave or in a pan with nonstick spray, and then cut into small pieces.
