Here are 2 of my favorites for the grill!
Feta-Stuffed Chicken Burgers
POINTSŪ value | 5
Servings | 4
Ingredients
1 pound uncooked ground chicken breast
1 Tbsp fresh oregano
1/4 tsp garlic powder
7 Tbsp feta cheese, crumbled
4 small wheat pita(s)
4 piece lettuce, romaine
2/3 cup roasted red peppers, sliced (without oil)
5 small olive(s), black, sliced (about 4 tsp)
Instructions
Preheat grill or broiler.
Mix chicken, oregano, garlic powder and feta together in a medium-sized bowl; divide mixture into four balls and then press them gently into patties.
Grill or broil patties until internal temperature of burgers reaches 165°F, about 7 to 8 minutes per side.
Serve each burger in a pita with a lettuce leaf, 1/4 of peppers and 1 teaspoon of olives.
**Tweeked: i bought a 2 kilo bag of frozen boneless, skinless chicken breast. thawed them then sliced, diced, and used the smaller container for my blender to "grind" it as much as possible. (( the butcher wouldnt do it for me when i tried to purchase fresh, and they dont sell ground turkey or chicken here in austria. had to get creative ~wink~ ))
3/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled
1T dried Oregano
3/4 garilc powder
mixed everything together in a bowl and made 8 patties.....this doubles the recipe. grilled for 7 minutes on both sides.
i didnt use the roasted peppers or olives instead i used lettuce, tomato, and red onion. topping the chicken burgers with 2 tsp. honey dijon sauce.

SASSY'S GRILLED SUMMER FRUIT WITH SWEET YOGURT DIP
Makes 4 servings @ 3 points per serving
This recipe can also be made indoors using a grill pan. To grill other, smaller types of fruit outside, use wooden skewers that have been soaked in water for an hour.
Ingredients
1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
1 Tbsp water
1 large banana(s), cut diagonally into 1/2-inch pieces
2 items plum(s), cut in half and pitted
1 cup pineapple, about four rings
2 items apricot(s), cut in half and pitted
1/8 tsp ground cinnamon
1 cup Horizon Organic Fat-Free Cherry Yogurt, or cherry-vanilla yogurt (or other brand)
Directions
1. Preheat grill. Mix together sugar and water in a small bowl; heat in microwave until sugar dissolves. Brush syrup on fruit.
2. Place fruit on a clean, medium-hot grill. Grill, basting with syrup occasionally, until slightly soft with markings from the grill, about 3 to 5 minutes. Turn fruit and grill other side until quite soft, about 1 minute more. (Note: Grill time depends on ripeness of fruit. Keep your eye on it and remove each piece as it is done.)
3. Remove fruit from grill and sprinkle with cinnamon; serve with a small bowl of yogurt for dip.
Yields 1/4 of fruit and 1/4 cup of yogurt per serving.
(( Strawberries are great too!! Use your imagination!

When I am grilling veggies in foil, I always toss in a couple of ice cubes to keep them from scortching. That worked so well that I now mix fresh with frozen broccolli, or cauliflower, or carrots. Another thing I do is open a package of fajita mix and top my veggies before sealing... Talk about yummy!!
