The hubby and I are trying to get healthy. This is not easy for someone that loves Cheez-its, salt n' vinegar chips and basically anything with salt. But, I finally - after a year - stepped on the scale and learned I need to shed 25 pounds to get back to my ideal weight. Whoops.
So, enter healthy versions of the ever so Tasty Tuesday meals!
Ingredients:
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
3/4 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 teaspoon (okay, maybe a little extra for the Califf's) red pepper flakes
20-30 small grape tomatoes
1 bag medium pasta
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, shaved
1/2 cup thinly sliced fresh basil leaves
6 chopped green onions
Cooked, seasoned (w/ garlic powered, salt, pepper) chicken breast
Combine oil, chopped green onions, chopped basil leaves, salt and pepper flakes and simmer on very low heat for 5 minutes. Slice the grape tomatoes in half and stir the tomatoes into the mixture and simmer another 5 minutes. Remove from heat and place in a large bowl.
Wash, season and cook chicken breast on foreman grill. Once cooked properly, cut into slivers.
Meanwhile, cook pasta as package directs for al dente in a large pot of salted water. When done, drain and toss pasta with tomato mixture and chicken. Add Parmesan cheese. Sprinkle red pepper flakes for an extra spice!
Voila! Super simple, healthy and delicious.
Nice shakera!! That put a smile on my face! The meal looks good too, was it?
