Leave a comment

Meal planning can seem like a struggle and overwhelming; however, I’m here to help by providing you with simple, healthy recipes. All of the recipes on my blog are ones that I make for my family and friends. These are recipes that I have incorporated in my own health and fitness journey. Let me know what you think and be sure to browse the other delicious recipes – Nutritious Recipes.

INGREDIENTS YOU WILL NEED:

  • 2 – 3 boneless chicken breast
  • 2 TBSP tomato paste
  • Sea salt, dash
  • Pepper, dash
  • 1/2 cup ricotta cheese
  • 3 oz. fresh mozzarella
  • 3 cups spinach, packed
  • 1 cup of cherry tomatoes
  • 1 1/2 cups of marinara sauce
  • 1/2 cup of parmesan cheese, shredded

WHAT YOU NEED TO DO:

  1. Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Line baking sheet with non-stick pan lining paper. This makes for easy clean-up.
  2. Prepare the chicken breast 1 of 2 ways.
    • Place your knife at one end of a chicken breast, parallel to the cutting board. Cut into the middle of the chicken breast and slice from one end to the other, almost all the way through. Open the chicken breast up so that it’s one long, thinner piece. Once “stuffed” with the remaining ingredients, the chicken breast can be closed; the upper half of the chicken breast over the top of the topped lower half.
    • The other option is to use a mallet to thin the chicken breast and then top with the remaining ingredients.
  3. Season the chicken breasts with sea salt and pepper.
  4. Spread the tomato paste on the chicken breast.
  5. Spread the ricotta on top of the tomato paste and then lay the mozzarella on top of the ricotta.Chicken Breast over Spinach - Tomatoes-pic4Chicken Breast over Spinach - Tomatoes-pic3

  7. Place the chicken breasts on top of the spinach and cherry tomatoes on the baking sheet.Chicken Breast over Spinach - Tomatoes-pic2

This recipe was a hit with my family. Simple to make with ingredients you probably already have at home. I buy plain yogurt in a large container and then portion out, which saves some money. Be sure to check the ingredients on your peanut butter – all the added ingredients beyond peanuts and sea salt isn’t necessary for your body.

INGREDIENTS YOU WILL NEED

  • 1 cup plain Yogurt (*I use the Fage brand – plain greek yogurt)
  • 1-2 spoons of Peanut Butter (*I found organic peanut butter at Aldi’s with two ingredients – peanuts and sea salt.)
  • 1 TBSP Honey (*I prefer to use honey made local.)
  • 1 TSP Vanilla Extract
  • 1 TBSP mini Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips or 1 spoon of regular size Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
  • Optional: a pinch of Sea Salt

WHAT TO DO

1. Portion out 1 cup of plain yogurt using the red container from the portion control color coded containers.Cookie Dough Yogurt

2. Add peanut butter, honey, and vanilla extract to the plain yogurt. Make sure ingredients are mixed well together.

3. Add chocolate chips and stir.

4. Enjoy!
