If you know us, you know our TV is on Food Network A LOT. One of our favorite Food Network chefs is Guy Fieri. The above recipes came from his show, "Guy's Big Bite". They are AWESOME!!! There were a few changes I made, one being I used a jalepeno instead of a scotch bonnet because I don't like my food to be THAT spicy. Also, we don't own a rice cooker so I just made minute rice and used chicken stock instead of water. All three of these recipes are delicious!! I don't know the nutrition facts, but I put the recipes into my recipe builder on Weight Watchers.com and the chicken is 7 points per serving, the rice is 6 points per serving, and the salsa is 1 point per serving. Let me also add that my husband HATES cucumber and he ate several servings of the salsa. I thought there was a tad too much ginger in the salsa, so next time I'll be adding about half what I did last night but it was still sooo yummy! You HAVE to try this meal!
