I do the South Beach diet and wanted to share what I just made for lunch!! It's good for all phases and Carb free. It's delicious :)


part 1-shredded chicken
1 lb or so of boneless chicken breast, cover with water and chicken broth(whatever ratio is fine). Bring to a boil and then simmer until the chicken is cooked through. Place just the chicken pieces in a bowl and shred it with 2 knives or 2 forks. Douse this in cayenne pepper, use less if you don't like spicy.

part 2-cheese sauce
16 oz lf cottage cheese-drained
mix in 8 oz of lf/ff sour cream or plain yogurt, then stir into the shredded chicken

part 3-enchilada sauce
1 pkt of enchilada sauce mix
little can of tomato sauce
1 c water
mix and bring to a boil then simmer for 10 min

Preheat oven to 350. Gently spray the bottom of a glass casserole dish. cover the bottom with a can of well rinsed and drained black beans. cover the beans with the chicken mixture. Pour the enchilada sauce over the top. Sprinkle cheddar on top if desired. Cook til bubbly and delish about 25 min.

This is so filling and hearty. I'd have to say it will feed anywhere from 4-6 people. Hope you enjoy!

almost forgot the best part-after you take it out of the oven, top it with freshly chopped cilantro!!
