So the other day Frank and I went to the farmers market in town, I asked what he wanted to eat for this weeks dinners and he comes to the checkout with a bag of potatoes. He said "it has the best ingredient, itself." So I decided to give some recipes a shot using the spud of he earth...they are super healthy, only 110 calories fat free, sodium and cholesterol free and loaded with potassium, Vitamin C, Fiber, B6, and Iron. So here we go, I call it Chicken Italian with Potato.
Ingredients:
3 Chicken Breasts
1 Cup of Broccoli
1 Cup Spinach
1 Can of Diced Tomatoes
1 TBSP Italian Seasoning
1 tsp Grated Cheese
1 palm full of black olives
2 TBSP Low Moisture Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
1/2 Cup low sodium Vegetable Broth
1 tsp minced Garlic
2 Potatoes Sliced and steamed
In a microwave safe dish, place your sliced potatoes, steam them in the microwave for about 3-5 minutes. In a saute pan, place your garlic, vegetable broth, and chicken. Cooking on low heat for about 3 minutes, on each side. Then add your broccoli, potatoes and seasoning, covering for about 10-15minutes till the vegetables and potatoes are soft. Then add your olives and grated cheese, simmer low for another 10 minutes, reduce the heat, add the shredded mozzarella, remove from stove and serve.
Tips:
Potatoes cook faster if you steam them covered in the microwave first. Then once the chicken is cooked just add everything else into the pan, except the shredded cheese. Let the whole thing simmer till the veggies are cooked and serve. Super quick, healthy and simple.
