Healthy 15-Minute Chicken Recipe

I know how hard it is to get dinner on the table during the week, let alone a healthy dinner.…. right?

I know now more than ever.  Now that my son is in baseball and we are on the field 3 times a week.  Add in there a 15 month old baby and a business.  Yikes!

So trust me when I tell you, I know that it’s hard.

And I know that is one of the main reasons people eat out or just make frozen dinners, pick up food or eat something quick and easy like pasta, sandwiches, etc.

I also know that you really want to lose weight.  That you are trying to be healthy and have your family eat healthier as well.  That you are going to the gym and exercising but the scale still doesn’t budge.

Ugh, I know how frustrating it is.

I remember feeling that overwhelm before I started following my own BeFit Moms Meal Plan.  When I started actually planning my meals for the week, getting all the groceries I needed in one trip and having everything prepped and ready, is when I started eating much healthier and more CONSISTENT.

It’s crazy the stories I hear from clients that follow the BeFit Moms Meal Plan.  Most of them are not eating enough.  Most of them are eating out a lot because “they don’t have time to cook” or “don’t like to cook” or “don’t know how to cook”.  I’ve heard it all.  But it seriously blows my mind when they start the Meal Plan and all of a sudden they know how to cook, they make time for it.  Its crazy!

Well, it really isn’t that crazy.  

Because once you have a plan, a good one and you set aside the time to do your groceries and prep work, its super easy and actually quite enjoyable.

Yep, nothing is better than having delicious home cooked meals every day that are healthy, tasty and you are losing weight.  Just love it!

If this is you, I want to hook you up with this HEALTHY CHICKEN RECIPE.  

I just want you to see that it is possible to make super quick and easy week night meals.  I made this one in literally 15 minutes prep time.  And I always make double or even triple the recipe so that I have plenty left overs for other meals.

This Pesto-Tomato Chicken Recipe is seriously mouth-watering good.  Both my kids loved it and the hubby was raving about it.  I served it with some brown rice pasta with spinach.  It was such a yummy dinner.

I love making “Casserole” type chicken meals because it’s basically throw everything in a pan and bake.

I have other recipe like that on My YouTube Channel, so make sure to go there and browse around.  I have tons of Healthy Recipes & Cooking Tips How-To Videos as well as hundreds of WORKOUT VIDEOS.  You will have loads of fun checking it out…. I promise…..  

Well, that is if you are at all interested in losing some weight and getting a little more toned 🙂

I hope you make this recipe and that it inspires you to start cooking more often.  Maybe you can just set a goal of cooking 2 healthy home-cooked meals per week.  Will you start with that? If you will, go on My Facebook Page and say “I commit to making 2 healthy home cooked meals per week”.  Feel free to tell me what you are making or asking for a suggestion.  I love to connect with my peeps on Facebook.

I have plenty recipes all organized for you on My Pinterest Page and they are organized by Proteins, Carbs, Veggies, Snacks, Breakfasts……  So it will be easy for you to find some inspiration for your meals.  I’m telling you, if you plan ahead it will be much easier and you will see that once you start making them and they actually taste great and your family loves them, you will get so excited, you will want to cook more!

And if you are anything like most of my clients and you just don’t have the time to make a weekly meal plan and shopping list and you just really don’t know what the best options are, then maybe you too would love and benefit from the BeFit Moms Fat Loss Meal Plan.  I know it changed my life.  I still use it on a weekly basis.  

I love that the meals and recipes change every week.  And if you are busy with kids or work or both, this is going to just be such a relief to know you don’t have to worry about what your family will eat or what “diet meal” you need to make so you can lose a few pounds.  All you have to do is follow instructions.  That’s it.

By the way, if you are trying to lose a few pounds, let me give you some information that will make a DRASTIC difference.  

Because if you are not eating the proper foods and you are consuming foods that are very inflammatory, you will not get results no matter what you try to do.  So let me share with you a list that I compiled of the 5 FOODS that you should absolutely get rid of in your diet if you would like to see any kind of results.  Because eating these foods cause so much inflammation in your digestive system that its close to impossible to lose weight NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO.  

I also have a list of 5 FOODS that are crucial for you to include in your diet if you want to be able to burn fat and build lean muscle.  I will give these PDF lists to you and a video with what I have found to be the 5 BEST ABS EXERCISES.  The ones that I have done to get ABS that I never had before (after 2 babies).  Go to this link to so you can download them since they are a PDF & Video.  If you apply this stuff right away, I promise, you will see a huge difference.  Here is the LINK

Ok, I hope you enjoy this recipe.  It’s been a weekly staple over here lately.  I have been changing it for one of the recipe in the BeFit Moms Meal Plan because the kids love it so much.

Pesto-Tomato Healthy Chicken Recipe

Ingredients:

1 bag of fresh spinach

garlic and onion powder to taste

2 lbs chicken breasts

3 tbsp pesto

2 tomatoes, sliced

1/4-1/3 cup shredded mozzarella

Italian Seasoning to taste

Instructions:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.  Place the spinach in a casserole dish and sprinkle with garlic and onion and s&p. Place the chicken breast on the spinach and sprinkle with Italian Seasoning and s&p to taste.  With a spoon spread a little pesto on each chicken breast and top with tomato slices and cheese. Bake for 25 minutes or until done.

I can’t wait for you to try this one.  Its so good and literally took no time.  Before the kids or actually with just one I could afford to make 30 minute meals.  But now with 2 kids and a growing business I have time for 15 minute meals. What about you?

Would you like me to come up with more recipes like this?
