Chinese Spice Rubbed Pork with Stir Fry Veggies

Personally, next time I make this, I'm gonna use less of the Chinese 5 spice.  It reminds me if black licorice...and add more veggies.

Ingredients:
1 tsp. Chinese 5 spice powder
1 tsp. ground coriander
1 tsp. chili powder
Zest and juice from 1/2 a lemon
18 oz. pork tenderloin,  trimmed of all fat
4 1/2 oz. egg noodles
Low fat cooking spray
Red and green peppers, de-seeded and chopped
1 tsp. fresh root ginger, peeled and grated
2 T. low sodium soy sauce

Directions:
1. Sprinkle the Chinese 5 spice powder, coriander, chili powder, and lemon zest onto a plate. Roll the pork in this mixture and slice into strips.

2. Place the noodles in a large bowl and cover with boiling water. Soak for 4 to 6 minutes, or according to the packet directions. Drain thoroughly.

3. Heat a wok or large frying pan and spray with cooking spray. Cook the pork slices for 5 to 6 minutes, stirring occasionally until cooked. Remove from the pan and keep warm.

4. Add all the vegetables and ginger to the wok or frying pan and stir fry for 3 to 4 minutes. Add the noodles with the lemon juice and soy sauce, reheat for few moments, then mix in the pork.

Feta-Stuffed Chicken Breasts

I want to share this yummy recipe. It is sooooo good and at only 4 points, who can resist? :)

The recipe calls for mayonnaise, but I use olive oil instead. Also, I crush the bread crumbs a little more, I don't like that they are bigger pieces, and for added flavor, I toss in Italian Seasoning (recipe below too!)

2 moist packed sun-dried tomatoes (not packed in oil), finely chopped

4 large basil leaves, chopped

1/4 tsp. salt

1/4 tsp. black pepper

1/4 C. panko (Japanese bread crumbs)

4 (5oz. each) skinless, boneless chicken breasts

4 tsp. fat-free mayonnaise





Directions

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Spray nonstick bakin pan with nonstick spray.

2. Mix together feta, tomatoes, basil, salt and pepper in small bowl until blended. Spread panko on sheet of wax paper.

3. Cut 2 1/2 inch pocket in each breast. Put 1/4 of cheese mixture into each pocket; press edges closed. Brus top of each breast with mayonnaise, press coated side of chicken into crumbs. Place, coated side up, in prepared baking pan.

4. Lighly spray crumbs with nonstick spray. Bake until chicken is cooked through and crust is golden, about 25 minutes.
