I love to cook, but I still take shortcuts when I do. If something says to cook for 4-6 minutes, I always pick 4 {&check to make sure it’s fully cooked & safe to eat}. If there’s an ingredient required that I’m not crazy about, I’ll skip it. &If I have the option of buying one of my ingredients already ready to be used in a recipe, I often buy it. Whether it’s pre-cut vegetables or pre-cooked chicken, I’m all about using easy foods to save time in the kitchen so that I can spend more time with my family.
This is how Shane helps me grocery shop, apparently.
Last weekend, we went to Walmart to pick up some ingredients for dinner. {You can view my entire shopping trip here.} It’s swimsuit season, so we’ve been eating lighter, which means we’re trading in our breaded chicken fingers for our newest discovery- Tyson Grilled & Ready Chicken! It’s a lighter, pre-cooked & pre-cut chicken that you can eat by itself or in recipes. All you have to do is put it in the microwave for a few minutes & it’s ready to eat! It saves a lot of time versus having to dice, cut or chop chicken yourself & then cook it for several minutes on the stovetop, so it’s a great alternative for a weeknight meal or if you just love saving time in the kitchen like I do.
The Grilled & Ready chicken comes in several varieties, including Chicken Breast Fillets, Sweet Asian Chicken Thighs, Southwestern Chicken Breast Strips & several more. But are they healthy? Frozen foods can be hit or miss for nutrition but these are actually really good. Each variety is slightly different due to additional ingredients {breading in some varieties, sauce on others} but as an example, the Grilled & Ready Chicken Breast Fillets are 98% fat free and have no preservatives.
Since we’ve been focusing on eating well, I’ve of course still had cravings for some less healthy foods. So I decided to make a recipe featuring a couple of my current not-so-good-for-me cravings, but lightened up. Rather than indulge in the buffalo wings & pizza I’ve been thinking about, I put together a flatbread pizza featuring the Tyson Grilled & Ready Oven Roasted Diced Chicken Breast. It was a really quick meal solution &satisfied my cravings for a lot less calories!
