BBQ Glazed Chicken with Mashed Potatoes & Creamy Brussels Sprout Slaw
Ingredients
This week we rated one recipe five out of five stars and two recipes three stars. SmartPoints range from 6 to 12 and calories range from 370 to 700. Preparation time ranges from 25 to 40 minutes.
The above recipe has 12 SmartPoints and 610 calories. It was a filling portion. We rated it three stars. The apple was really good in the salad, but the brussels sprouts required a lot of chewing. We really needed more mustard for the dressing. One tablespoon isn't enough for two people. The BBQ sauce on the chicken was really tasty. It takes about 35 minutes to prepare. On to the 2nd recipe.
Sweet & Savory Chicken Stir Fry with Peppers & Green Beans
Ingredients
What a colorful dinner! Hubby rated this one five out of five stars while I gave it four stars. Just a little amount of cornstarch on the chicken made it taste like fried chicken. I'm amazed that this recipe only has 370 calories! It tasted like high-calorie Chinese take out! The sauce was scrumptious and the addition of furikake was awesome. This one takes up to 35 minutes to prepare and has 6 SmartPoints. On to the 3rd recipe.
Thai Style Coconut Shrimp Curry with Jasmine Rice
Ingredients
We rated the above recipe only three stars. The sauce was awful, just thinking about it makes me think perhaps I should give it only two stars. The combination of the chunky chickpeas and coconut milk was very unpleasant so much so that I left most of it on the plate. There were way too many chickpeas and not enough mushrooms. The shrimp was tasty in the curry though we felt it was a small portion. This one has 11 SmartPoints and a whopping 700 calories. It's certainly not worth the calories. It takes up to 40 minutes to prepare.
It was mostly a disappointing week of recipes, but we will repeat the Chicken Stir Fry on our own for sure. I highly recommend you try that recipe, the link is above. Our 33rd shipment was a day late and since it was 98-100 degrees the days it was in route, it was ruined. One of the frozen gel packs busted open and it was completely melted.
