Ingredients
- 5 oz shredded chicken breast (I boil & shred ahead) or you can use 99% fat free White Chicken in a can.
- 1- can tomato paste
- 1 – can fat free low sodium chicken broth
- 1/4 cup – low fat mozzarella cheese
- 1 tsp -olive oil
- 1-tsp salt
- ground cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder and oregano (all to taste).
- 1 to 2 Zucchini cut long ways in thin strips (similar to lasagna noodles).
- Sliced olives (optional).
Directions
1) Prepare Enchilada Sauce: in sauce pan on med/high heat add olive oil, stir in tomato paste and seasonings, heat for 2-3 min stir in chicken broth. Bring to boil stirring often, turn heat to low for 15 min. Set aside & Cool to room temperature.
2) In a small baking pan (8×8) spray with Pam, pull each strip of Zucchini thru enchilada sauce then lay flat on bottom of the pan. Next I add a bit less then 1/4 cup of enchilada sauce to chicken and mix it. Add chicken to the baking pan covering end to end. . Sprinkle a little cheese over chicken. Add another layer of zucchini pulled thru enchilada sauce (similar to making lasagna). cover the top with the remaining cheese and olives if desired.
Bake at 350 for 35 to 40 min. Keep an eye on it. If the cheese starts to burn cover with foil.
Other Info
I got the idea from a Lean & Green Lasagna. I love Mexican food so I looked up ways to make this that worked on the Medifast program. This is what I came up with. I hope you all enjoy as much as I have! The above picture is 1/2 serving. The recipe & calories are the full serving.

Looks delicious! But I thought we weren’t allowed to have cheese until maintenance….?
Cheese in moderation is on the vegetarian options list.
Referred to the meatless options info sheet. Cheese is protein so adjust your ‘Lean’ accordingly.
I’m tring this tonite ill let u know if I like it
This is an excellent recipe! I put a small can of salsa verde in as well. I hope that doesn’t put it over on carbs!
It calls for one can of tomato paste and 1 tsp is considered one condiment? Can you help me figure this out? I’m a newbie. Thanks!
I am making this tonight however you have listed that this dish is 2 condiments. I see that each spice is counted as 1 condiment, only 1 tsp of tomato paste is 1 condiment (it call for entire can which I can only guess is a 12 oz can). Can you please let me know. I do not want to mess up. Thank you!
Oh my yumie goodness! My son and I joined on Aug 12, 2013; I’ve attempted to create amazing lean and green meals without much success. Let me state this recipe went off the top chart of meeting our tastebuds and food cravings! My 29 year old son (finishing his paramedic clinicals) said this is the best meal he has had since beginning Medifast. He lost 20 pounds in 3 weeks! I am right behind him with 19.5 lost as of this morning, Aug 30, 2013. So thank you so much for this fantabulous recipe. Got more?
