Chicken with Artichokes and Pasta
What you need:
1 jar of mushroom and onion spaghetti sauce (watch out for high fructose corn syrup)
Boneless skinless chicken breast chopped into chunks you can get away with less than 1 per person
1 jar roasted red peppers, sliced and drained
1 large jar artichoke hearts (drained and chopped)
small can sliced black olives
Olive oil
Rotini (I use the high protein pasta)
grated Parm for garnish
Here’s what you do:
- heat up the oil in a large skillet.
- add chicken and cook until no longer pink
- Stir in the pasta sauce, artichokes, olives and peppers
- Heat to boiling stirring every so often
- Reduce to simmer and cook for 10 minutes or so. (make sure chicken is done)
While you’re doing that cook up some rotini, however much you think looks good. When it’s done combine it with the chicken mixture and serve it up.
Add a little parm on top to make it even yummier.
Lemon Chicken with Spinach and Tomatoes
We had this last night and it rocked my world. Delicious!
Here’s what you need:
Chicken breasts ~ one per person
1 roma tomato per person
1 lemon
1 C fresh spinach per person
chopped garlic
basil ~ fresh or dry
basmati rice
Here’s what you do:
- Get your rice started following the directions as it takes a while
- Zest the lemon and dice the tomatoes and garlic
- Pour a little oil in a pan. Throw in the chicken. I covered it so it would steam a little too.
- When the chicken is done put it on a separate plate
- Add the tomatoes, garlic, lemon zest and a little basil to the pan
- Add the juice of the lemon you just zested.
- Use medium heat so the lemon juice will reduce fairly quickly.
- When the lemon juice has reduced add the spinach
- When the spinach has wilted it’s done.
To plate it, just put some rice on the bottom, then a piece of chicken and then cover the chicken with the veggie mixture.
Yum Yum. Let me know what you think!!
