Tomato Garlic and Basil Chicken

Tomato Garlic and Basil Chicken is a go-to dinner.  We eat a lot of chicken in our house.  It’s inexpensive and 0 points!  This is quick to make and full of flavor with fresh basil and garlic.  We love garlic so I’ve got 5 cloves in here but if you don’t like it as much, you can always tone it down a little.  This dish can be served on it’s own with a side of vegetables for a 1 point meal or paired with spaghetti which is how we eat it.  I keep my pasta intake at a minimum and eat 1/2 cup for 3 points.  And yes, I did eat that roll and must admit that I don’t even know how many points that cost me.

You can add in some other ingredients if you want.  Some rosemary or thyme are always great additions that have no points.  Also, some other veggies like zucchini would work perfectly.  If you have the extra points, a sprinkle of parmesan or mozzarella would be divine.

This makes a good 5 or 6 servings.  For my family of 3, that means extra for lunch.  I pack it up with a side of vegetables, leave out the pasta (and bread) for a nice 1 point afternoon meal.
