Last night, I cooked chicken. Just cut up some chicken and threw it in a hot skillet of fat free Italian dressing. While that cooked, I steamed frozen cauliflower in the microwave in a Tupperware (my Mom sells this so I have to give a shout out to it....honestly one of my best purchases evah! --- If you want some, I will get you in touch with her). Anyhoo, while I was steaming the cauliflower, I put a little bit of grapeseed oil (you can use EVOO or whatever healthy fat oil you want) and 2 cloves of garlic in the skillet.
After a bit of the chicken cooking, I threw in some red onion and yellow and red peppers. Let that cook up nice and brown.
Back to the other skillet: I added some mushrooms and tomatoes. Once the cauliflower was done, I drained it and mashed it. I put it in the skillet and let it simmer together. The last minute or two, I put some reduced fat mozz cheese on top.
That was my dinner last night. What was left over, I put in a TUPPERWARE container for lunch today. I put it on the stove and heated....added a few more veggies.
The flavors completely complimented each other!
Think of all the nutrients you get with this meal! Not a lot of carbs. High in protein.
Peppers - Lots of Vitamin C
Onion - Studies show that it can help lower your cholesterol and triglycerides
Chicken - Loads of protein
Cauliflower - More protein and low carbs
Two meals in one. And not an expensive or hard to make meal!
Can't beat that, can ya!
