Yummy, Chicken and Dumplings! I am very excited this week to get back on track and start my Weight Watchers menu's again.

This is my menu for this week and, yes it is all on the Weight Watchers plan

Sunday: Chicken and Dumplings

Monday: Pot Roast, with Potatoes and Carrots

Tuesday: Grilled Pork Chops

Wednesday: White Chicken Lazagna (didn't make it to the table last week)

Thursday: Tostadoes

Friday: Hamburgers on the grill w/ Grilled Vegetables.

Saturday we will eat out


Chicken and Dumplings recipe:

Ingredients:
2 celery ribs, chopped
8 cups chicken broth
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
12 ounces cubed cooked chicken
1-2/3 cups reduced-fat biscuit/baking mix
2/3 cup fat-free milk

Directions: In a large Dutch Oven add celery. Stir in the broth, salt and pepper, bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered. Add the chicken. For dumplings, combine biscuit mix and milk. Drop by tablespoonfuls onto simmering broth. Cover and simmer for 10-15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into a dumpling comes out clean (do not lift cover while simmering). Yield: 6 servings
