Winner Winner! Chicken Dinner!

Here's a healthy Italian style chicken dinner!

My portions will make a hearty dinner for two :)

Start by peeling up four small squash:

Once that's done start heating up a skillet with olive oil and red chili flakes:

After it has gotten nice and hot, add the peeled squash "pasta" and veggie of your choice (mine was broccoli!):

While those start cooking up I get out two skinless chicken breasts:

I don't know why that's upside down? Hehe

Anyway, I throw them into a separate skillet with olive oil, some Mrs. Dash and fresh ground pepper:

I like when the chicken gets I little brown on the outside! Cooking each side as needed:

When they are getting close to done add a little sauce of your choice (mine was plain diced tomatoes in garlic and olive oil) to your "pasta":

And Winner Winner!

This meal was filling, delicious, and fiancé approved! I grew up with Italian food, so it has always been my favorite so I am glad to be able to make some healthier options :)

What about you?!

Zucchini "Pasta" With Ground Turkey Sauce!

Craving a pasta dinner, but don't want to have the heaviness of noodles? 

Try my zucchini "pasta"!

First I took about 4 or 5 zucchini and shredded them with a veggie peeler:

After they were all peeled I threw them all in a heated pan with olive oil and red pepper flakes:

Stir occasionally:

As the zucchini was cooking, I started up some ground turkey:

As the turkey was cooking I added some broccoli, which would soon be part of the sauce:

Once the turkey and broccoli start cooking up I added some sauce (bought it at Trader Joes):

After everything was all cooked up I topped the zucchini "noodles" with the ground turkey sauce:

Delish! All the satisfaction of a pasta dish, but more veggies packed in! 

This dish was still filling, but without the bogged down feeling of a ton of pasta! 

You can mix it up with any type of sauce, or do it vegetarian style!
