Chicken and Veggie Pasta

Chicken and veggie pasta, 21-day fix approved dinner, healthy dinner, dinner in under 30 minutes

I had chicken breasts planned for the grill and a pile of broccoli from the Farmer’s market all chopped and ready to be steamed. Then my daughter requested “noodles” and I saw the box of pasta in the pantry and thought..Hmmmm…maybe I can whip up a pasta dish instead of our classic “grilled chicken with a steamed veggie and side of rice or quinoa”. I didn’t have any pasta sauce, which used to be a pantry staple, but I did have some olive oil, garlic, and lemon….Enter creativity here!

I started by heating  1 TBS of olive oil and 1 TBS of minced garlic in a large pan. In a separate sauce pan, I began boiling water for the pasta.

Next, I cut the chicken into approximately 1″ cubes and browned until thoroughly cooked through – about 8-10 minutes, stirring consistently. Then I added the pasta to the boiling water.

Next I added the broccoli and juice from two lemons. But when I took a step back I didn’t think I had enough veggies…so I went back to the fridge.

I found a jar of roasted red peppers and fresh spinach – PERFECT!!!! I sliced the red peppers up (actually my husband sliced the red peppers up) and we mixed everything together and topped with 3 cups of fresh spinach and placed a lid on top to steam.

After about 3-5 minutes I removed the lid, gave one last stir and we were complete!!!

Fish and Shrimp Tacos

It was a Friday night and we were making our dinner plans for Saturday. We had company coming over and I was totally planning to stick with our traditional “grilled chicken and veggies” with maybe a quinoa salad. I mean I totally would have tossed in a fun marinade or some spices, lol And my husband looked at me and said “Can we please have something other than chicken or turkey burgers?!”

I thought back…I mean we did toss in some Stuffed Peppers a few weeks ago but that aside, it had been pretty plain and boring! Ok – time to spice things up!!!

He suggested fish tacos – something I absolutely LOVED but never made at home! It was a restaurant treat 🙂

So we googled and searched and found bits and pieces of recipes we liked and came up with our own clean eating 21-day fix approved fish and shrimp tacos!

WHAT YOU NEED:

(makes 4 servings)

  • 8 Corn tortillas

  • 1 pound fresh or frozen tilapia

  • 1 pound fresh or frozen shrimp

  • 1 each – green pepper, red pepper, orange pepper, yellow pepper cut into strips

  • 1 large onion – sliced

  • Lime wedges

  • Fresh Cilantro

  • Avocados, slices (optional)

  • Jalopenos, sliced  (optional in my mind – required per my husband)

  • Salt and Pepper to taste

WHAT YOU NEED TO DO:

1. Grill the peppers and onions for about 10 minutes, flipping frequently. Remove from grill

2. Grill the tilapia and shrimp (with salt and pepper as desired) approximately 3-4 minutes per side, remove from grill

3. Warm tortillas per directions on bag, or on top rack of grill while fish is cooking

Assemble and add your favorite toppings!!

We enjoyed dinner on the deck – served with some microwave corn on the cob!

___________________________________________________________________________
For all my 21-day fixers out there…2 Tacos would be as follows (depending on your toppings):
  • 1 Yellow (2 corn tortillas)
  • 1 green (Peppers and onions split between the two)
  • 1 red (Regardless of shrimp or fish – 1/2 a red on each fits perfectly)
  • 1 blue (1/4 of an avocado on each one)

21-day fix meal plan

So what does a meal plan look like for the 21-day fix???

Let me show you!

Here’s an example of one of mine – now your meal plan will vary based on your daily caloric needs, but this one happens to be for the 1200 – 1400 calorie range. 

You’ll see I like to split up my yellows and purples throughout the day so I can enjoy them more frequently without going “over” my daily allotment!
