This is a good recipe, but if I make it again, I'd like to use an unsweetened bran cereal, which I wrongly assumed was what I was purchasing. Fiber One is sweetened with aspartame, which I try to avoid.

lisacharlie: According to MasterCook, the nutritional values stated in the recipe are for both the chicken and salsa. For the chicken alone (without adding the cooking spray), MasterCook shows 191 calories based on 1 1/4 pound chicken breasts and regular bran flakes. Hope this helps. I haven't tried the recipe yet, but am looking forward to it.

Are the nutrition facts for the chicken and the salsa both? Can I get the information for just the chicken?
