Only 500 Calories! Well...mostly!

Here is a recipe that I recently came up with as part of the diet I've been trying this spring. It's called the South Beach Diet and it does work. A doctor wrote the book and his ideas make a lot of sense. Just a while ago, I've gotten away from the diet. This may be to my eventual detriment but I digress. The recipe is simple goes together fast. Best of all, it's filling while still within bounds in the calorie department. Instead of chili, you can try any of a number of pasta combinations that suit you taste. I used a George Foreman Grill to quickly grill the chicken breast and since I had made the chili and pasta ahead of time I was able to throw this on the table in just minutes.
