If you've spent a day in my household, you know that my husband is the cook in the family. Although I "can" cook, he enjoys it more. Plus, he eat WAY more of the food, so it only makes sense, right? We pretty much have the same goals when it comes to meal planning - we like lean protein, and we try to avoid processed foods and foods with little nutritional value. While I'm not seen much in the kitchen, I do love finding recipes and coming up with ways to tweak them to fit our style. Recently, we took a chicken parmesan recipe and a rice recipe and combined them to make am amazingly delicious meal with lots of avocado!
Avocado Chicken ParmesanThe original recipe can be found at ellenaguan.blogspot.com. We used whole wheat breadcrumbs and skipped dipping the chicken in egg, but you can skip the coating step altogether too! We also cut chicken breasts in half lengthwise instead of pounding the chicken. You can even make your own sauce from tomatoes and seasoning. This is SO good, especially for avocado lovers like me! |  elleaguan.blogspot.com |
Green "Rice"For our green "rice", we took a Green Goddess Rice recipe and substituted quinoa for the rice. Just make the quinoa first and follow the recipe as described. We added a half a cup of frozen peas to the avocado mixture too - it made it greener and added some nutrients. You can even cut the oil in half. |  onecoupleskitchen.blogspot.com |
This made for a delicious meal - it was very delicious, filling, satisfying and the best part was it was guilt free!
