A true beginner dinner meal

Bertolli meal soup for two: tomato florentine & tortellini with chicken AND grilled cheese. Deliciously simple. This was chosen purely to cut down on time after our grocery trip.

Calories:
Soup -
410 per serving (half of bag)

Grilled cheese -
100 two slices of bread (Wonder SmartWheat)
75 butter (1.5 tbs)
105 American cheese (1.5 slices)

A little high if you count calories like me but worth a light lunch.

BBQ chicken

3 chicken breasts (recipe says frozen but mine were thawed)
1 12 oz. bottle of BBQ sauce (I used sweet baby ray's)
1/2 cup italian dressing (I used low fat)
1/4 cup brown sugar
2 tbs worcestershire sauce

Mix everything but chicken in a bowl. Place chicken in slow cooker and pour sauce over it. Cook on low for 4 hours (if chicken is thaw).

Pull chicken apart and mix a little. You may have to turn it on high for a little to thicken the sauce.
