Get Healthy with Chicken

It’s a new year and I am once again going to be brining you chicken recipes by Chicken.ca.  Was one of your New Years resolutions to get healthy?  Chicken is a lean meat that can help you obtain your weight loss and get healthy goals.  I frequently browse the Chicken.ca website to get ideas on easy and tasty meals.  As you are all aware cooking isn’t my forte, so help in the kitchen is greatly appreciated.

A few weeks back, I was on a cooking spree.  I made a few tasty things and was getting some really great feedback from my Mom and husband.  Maybe they were just happy to see that I was back on my feet again or maybe they just didn’t want to cook and so praising my cooking would mean I would cook more (like Pavlov’s conditioning theory).  Either way, it worked.

One of the recipes I tried was the Angel Hair Pasta with Chicken and Vegtables.

Here’s the recipe:

I didn’t have any garlic or tomatoes, so I substituted it with Bruchetta.  I also didn’t have any angel hair pasta, so just used spaghetti.   Despite all my changes, this was easy to make and everyone loved it.  I believe some comments were “Wow, you made this?”.  I wasn’t sure if I should take it as a compliment or not, but the truth was, yes, I did make it and surprisingly, it was delicious.

Salads are also a very good, healthy and easy meal.  If you want to give it a little more substance, just add chicken, like in this Chicken salad with Sauvignon blanc sauce. 

How is your New  Years Resolution going?  It takes 21 days for a routine to develop and we are only on day 16, so you’re almost there!  If you’re looking for more healthy chicken recipes to help you along your journey, make sure to sign up to the Chicken.ca newsletter or check out their blog.
