So, I made some oven fried chicken, and it was great, but what I didn't say in the last recipe is that I actually made two packs of chicken... "why?" you ask, "when you are only feeding two and a half, do you need 8 chicken breasts?" Simple, I believe it is important to give yourself a day off every now and then, so the next night I made this....
EST TIME: 15-20 minutes total
EST COST: $5.00 ($7.50 if you have to buy pasta)
FEEDS: Four (or two, and lunch tomorrow!!!)
Chop up leftover chicken as small or as large as you like. ($5.00 at market)
Make 1/2 a box of spaghetti or angel hair. (I love the barilla plus.)
Toss some frozen (or fresh, if you have 'em) stir fry veggies into a Wok (or saute pan) with some EVOO (not to be all grins and "YUM-OH" but it IS easier to type), soy sauce (about 1/4 cup), ground (or fresh) ginger, and just a dash of honey and black pepper (or red if you want more of a kick)...
Add noodles and chicken. Cook until warmed through.
Another lesson that I learned quickly (even before the healthy eating began), anytime you can cook ahead, or double cook, do it. You don't have to be a super chef and make a brand new something every night. Utilize your leftovers, for that matter, create leftovers for the soul purpose of giving yourself a night off. This meal was lightning quick, healthy, and included pasta ("noon-els" as they are called at my house) and bite sized veggies, so my LO loved it as well. Sometimes the best grocery store is your own fridge... Watchoo got in there??

Yummers--this would be really good with all those heavy greens that are coming out of the ground right now, kale, bok choy, collard, spinach. Yum. I think I might make that this week :)
