Skinny Dinners - Caprese Grilled Chicken



I made this deliciousness last night. Caprese anything is SOOOO good and simple! Add another quick clean eating meal to the books!

You’ll Need

Fresh Mozzarella
Fresh Basil
Sliced Tomato
Chicken Breast

Directions


Grill or Broil Chicken for 10-15 minutes depending on how thick your chicken cutlets are. Lay sliced mozzarella on top and let it slightly melt. Add basil and tomato on top. Walla! 


Skinny Dinners - Slow Cooker Balsamic Chicken


Any meal I can throw in the crock pot and leave it is a winner in my book. After a long day at work and a long drive home in the heat the last thing I wanna do is stand over the hot stove for an hour. I've absolutely added this slow cooker to my recipe book! 


You’ll Need

4-6 boneless, skinless, chicken breasts
2 cans diced tomatoes
1 medium onion
4 garlic cloves
1/2 cup balsamic vinegar 
1 tbsp. olive oil
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp basil
1 tsp rosemary
1/2 tsp thyme
ground black pepper to taste



Directions

Pour the olive oil on bottom of slow cooker, add chicken breasts, salt and pepper each breast, put sliced onion on top of chicken then put in all the dried herbs and garlic cloves. Pour in vinegar and top with tomatoes.

Cook on high for 4 hours, serve over whole wheat pasta


Skinny Dinner - Sockeye Salmon Recipe


















I LOVE healthy meals that taste good – who doesn’t!? I also love any recipe that uses my mom’s Million Dollar Dry Rub too. =] This is an awesome quick weekday meal you can throw together in under 15 minutes. Pair it with some steamed veggies and quinoa for a meal the whole family will enjoy.


4 (6 ounce) Wild Caught Sockeye Salmon fillets

1 tablespoon canola oil or coconut oil

Dry Rub

1 TBS Pepper
1 TBS Garlic Powder
1 TBS Chile Powder
1 TBS Oregano
1 TBS Paprika
1 TBS Cumin
1 TBS Salt
1 TSP Brown Sugar

Directions:

Combine spices in a small bowl.


Brush each side of salmon with 1/2 tablespoon oil. Evenly distribute seasoning on both sides of the salmon. Set oven to broil on High, cook salmon 5-6 minutes on each side. The outside should be crispy and the salmon should easily flake with a fork.
