I had red beans and rice, sauteed with onion and crushed red pepper and jerk chicken. Didn't weigh or measure just used portion control. I also had some sliced tomato from one of my plants. (first year I've had success with tomatoes in a long time and they are delish!!). That is my husbands favorite meal. Stephanie

I just had a turkey sandwich for dinner. Plain and easy, which is what most of my meals are when I'm working.

One of my favorite "real" dinners is Olive Garden "mock" Stuffed Chicken Sienna

Season boneless, skinless chicken breast (tenders work well, too) w/
garlic powder, onion powder, rosemary, crushed red pepper, seasoned salt, basil, oregano, black pepper, etc. (basically whatever seasonings you like to use)

4 oz of cooked skinless chicken breast has about 175-200 calories per serving

For the sauce:

1 T extra virgin Olive Oil
¼ C coarsely chopped yellow onion
¼ C chopped roasted red pepper (jarred in water)
pinch crushed red pepper flakes
1-28 oz can Hunt’s Diced Basil, Garlic & Oregano Tomatoes
fresh ground black pepper, salt, and garlic powder

In large non-stick skillet, heat the olive oil on medium heat.
Add the chopped yellow onion, roasted red pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes.
Sautee approx. 3-5 minutes, until onion slightly transparent.
Add Hunt’s tomatoes to mixture and add black pepper, salt, and garlic powder to taste. Cook over medium heat for 10-15 minutes.

Nutrition Information Per Serving of sauce: Calories 45; Fat 2g, Saturated 0.25g; Sodium 520mg; Potassium 35mg; Total Carbohydrates 7g, Fiber 1.25g; Protein 1g; Vitamin A 10%; Vitamin C 60%; Calcium 4%; Iron 3%

Then I like to pour some of the sauce over the chicken in a casserole dish, then bake it will low fat mozzarella or even some smoked gouda on top.

I love this dinner, because I can have just the chicken w/ the sauce and cheese for me, and cook up some spaghetti for Neil and we both get a full meal withouth having to do a lot of different stuff for both of us.
