Ingredients (Serves 4)

• 2 1/3 cups dry biscuit mix (preferably whole wheat)
• 2/3 cup skim milk
• 10 oz. canned chunk chicken
• 1/4 cup BBQ sauce
• 8 oz. shredded cheddar cheese
• 16 oz. plain nonfat Greek yogurt
• 1 banana, sliced
• 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
• 1 tbsp. honey or maple syrup

3. While the biscuits are baking, microwave the California blend vegetables according to package directions.
4. In a medium-sized sauce pan, pour in the canned chunk chicken (drained) and BBQ sauce.  Warm over medium heat.

6. In a small bowl scoop 1/4th of the yogurt and bananas to be served alongside your meal.

Notes

• Canned chunk white chicken that has the American Heart Association seal on it for heart-healthy is the best choice. Consider keeping a few cans in the pantry to make quick dishes such as casseroles, soups, and tacos, or even to op your lunch meal salads.
• Nutrition analysis is based on a standard dry biscuit mix and BBQ sauce and honey as the choice of sweetener.  This recipe is not just for one dish, but evaluates a whole meal.  To decrease the sodium content and calories, cut the cheese in this meal in half to just 4 oz.
