What is your favorite easy dinner......half way healthy?

Answer 1

What I've been doing lately is grilling 2-3 chicken breasts on sunday and keep them in my fridge for the week. I can slice one and put it in some pasta with sauce, on a salad wth dressing, make a sandwich, or throw together some chow mein or fried rice. Makes things a no brainer and is super easy, and chicken is a great source of lean protein.

Answer 2

You can cook this on the stove but I personally throw everything in the slow cooker in the morning and it's done when I get home. Super Yummy!

2 1/2 cups water
1 teaspoon lemon pepper seasoning
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves, trimmed of all excess fat
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
1 cup chopped onions
2 (8 ounce) cans white shoepeg corn, drained
2 (4 ounce) cans chopped green chilies, undrained
1 teaspoon ground cumin
2-3 tablespoons lime juice
2 (14 ounce) cans great northern beans, undrained
shredded monterey jack cheese, to garnish

In a 5-qt stockpot, combine water with the lemon pepper, 1 tsp ground cumin, and olive oil.
Bring to a boil.
Add the chicken breast halves and return to a low boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer 20-30 minutes or until the chicken is fork tender and the juices are clear.
Remove the chicken from the broth and cut into bite-size pieces, then return it to the broth.
Add the garlic, onion, corn, green chiles, 1 tsp ground cumin, lime juice, and Great Northern beans to the broth.
Bring to a boil.
Simmer until thoroughly heated, about 45 minutes.
To serve, ladle into soup bowls and sprinkle cheese on top.
