Chicken Artichoke Pasta

Ingredients

1 lb chicken breast, cubed

1 can black olives

1 can artichoke hearts

3 roma tomatoes, diced

5 cloves garlic

1 small onion, chopped

handful of spinach

EVOO

pepper

spaghetti squash

Directions

Heat about 2 Tbs EVOO in a skillet over medium heat. Add cubed chicken, 3 cloves minced garlic, and pepper to taste. Cook until chicken is cooked throughout. When cooked, drain chicken and set aside in a bowl. Add 2-3 Tbs to skillet and throw in onion, artichokes, and 2 cloves minced garlic. Cook until onions are translucent; add in tomato, spinach and olives. Cook for a few minutes, turn down heat and then mix the chicken back in. 

While you are cooking you can start preparing the spaghetti squash. I cut it in half, scoop out the insides and heat each half in the microwave for 4 minutes. Then you just scrape it with a fork and it starts looking like spaghetti.

Put some spaghetti squash on a plate and add the chicken mix! Enjoy!

jar of Pace Garlic Lime Verde Salsa (or any Verde Salsa)

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Halve the zucchinis and scoop out the middle with a melon baller. Make sure to leave a little bit on the ends so all the chicken doesn't come out. Place in a baking dish and drizzle with olive oil. Bake for 15 mins or until they soften. Mix all the other ingredients together and then fill the zucchinis. Bake for 30 mins.

Menu Board Meals

A few months ago, I had a Mommy craft day to make menu boards. What a lifesaver! It makes meal planning easier. I have had a couple requests for lists of our meals and I am FINALLY getting around to writing it down to share. Sorry it took so long.
