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?!

One Skillet Kale Meal!

Here's a quick and easy one skillet meal for lunch, dinner, or whenever!

All I used was:
-fresh kale 
-fresh vine tomatoes
-chicken sausages
( I also had left over pork loin from earlier dinners that I chopped up and used)
- garlic
-black pepper


I cut the kale off its stems ( I don't really like the stems!) and threw them into a hot skillet with olive oil, minced garlic, and cracked pepper.

While the kale was cooking up I sliced up the pork loin and chicken sausages and then added them into the pan.

My last addition was the fresh vine tomatoes. Since they are pretty delicate, I addsthem last so they maintain some structure and flavor.

Once it's all cooked up I dash some sea salt on top and that's it!

Another simple one skillet meal for the books!

What's you're favorite one skillet meal?
