Do you ever get tired of hearing this age old question? I know I sure do.
When I was first married, I thought I was going to be a super-wife and prepare these amazing, delicious, gourmet meals for my husband. You know, like the ones you see in cookbooks and on pinterest.
Then reality set in.
I’m waaay to busy to be slaving over the stove. When getting home from work, the last thing I want to do is prepare a huge meal. And let’s face it, most women are; you’re tired and sometimes the easiest choice- grabbing something fast- isn’t the healthiest choice.
That’s why I am a big fan of easy, delicious, fat loss friendly recipes!
Check out what I had for dinner!!
Chicken Spinach Casserole:
Ingredients:
2 cups cooked chicken
10 oz frozen spinach, thawed and drained (or a bag of fresh spinach cooked till wilted)
1 or 1 1⁄2 cups plain Greek yogurt
1⁄2 tsp salt*
1⁄2 tsp garlic powder* *I used garlic salt because that’s what I had on hand
1⁄2 tsp onion powder
1 packet Knorr Vegetable mix
1⁄2 cup parmesan cheese
1⁄2 cup shredded Mozzarella cheese or mexican blend cheese
Directions:
- Season chicken with salt, pepper and garlic powder and boil until cooked. (I used about 2 lbs of uncooked chicken)
- While chicken is cooking, grease and 8×8 baking dish with cooking spray and preheat oven to 350.
- Mix together yogurt and spices. Add in cheese and spinach.
- Once chicken is cooked, take out and cut into cubes or shred, depending on how you like it. Add to mixture. *Time Saving Tip*: While the chicken is still hot, you can shred it by using an electric or stand mixer. It works AWESOME!
- Spread into baking dish and sprinkle a LITTLE more shredded cheese on top. Bake for about 40 minutes or until top gets slightly brown.
