Springfield-based Joyce Fikri, nutrition educator for the St. Louis District Dairy Council, offers a couple of recipes for healthy summer meals.

The chicken-and-cheese foil packets call for oven baking but can be cooked on a grill as well. The quesadillas, which are appropriate for any meal of the day, are made in a skillet. Both call for low-fat cheese.

Recipes are from the dairy council.

BBQ Chicken and Cheddar Foil Packet Dinner

3 tablespoons barbecue sauce

4 small boneless, skinless chicken breast halves (1 pound)

2 small unpeeled red potatoes, thinly sliced

1 red or green bell pepper, seeded and sliced

1 green onion, finely chopped

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/8 teaspoon black pepper

1 1/2 cups shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Place a foil sheet, approximately 12-by-12 inches, on a work surface. Spoon about 1 teaspoon of the barbecue sauce in the center of the foil sheet. Place one chicken breast half over barbecue sauce and spread another teaspoon of sauce over chicken. Top with a quarter of the potato, bell pepper and onion. Sprinkle with a little of the salt and pepper.

Fold foil in half to cover contents; make narrow folds along edges to seal. Repeat with remaining ingredients to assemble three more packets. Place packets on a baking sheet and bake for 35 minutes.

Makes 4 servings.
