Usually, for dinner, I eat something totally different than the rest of the family. Not that they eat unhealthy food, but they do want/need things that I can't have. Mainly, pasta and bread. Even though I've switched to whole grain pasta, I don't like eating all those carbs so I'll have a salad or some broccoli and chicken instead.
Tonight, I made a dish that used to make all the time but forgot about it. I was cleaning out the kitchen cabinets the other day and came across my old trusty 5 Ingredients 15 Minutes cook book from weight watchers. I thumbed through it and saw this recipe and had to make it. It's so good, and the whole family loves it.
Pan-Glazed Chicken with Basil
You'll need:
4 boneless, skinless, chicken breasts
salt
pepper
olive oil
1 tablespoon honey
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
2 teaspoons dried basil
Sprinkle both sides of chicken with salt and pepper. Heat the oil in a non-stick skillet over medium high heat. Add chicken and cook on both sides until browned. Stir in vinegar, honey, and basil and cook 1 minute.
I cooked up some squash, zucchini, and onion with some olive oil in my wok and heated up some canned green beans. I know... canned. I usually try not to do the canned vegetables but I was in a hurry to get dinner cooked before running Jordan to conditioning practice. I also made everyone else a slice of grilled cheese. It was delicious. Everyone thought so. Well, except for Chris, who is working late.
It's healthy, low calorie, and super-easy.
I don't know why I ever stopped making it!
