"Let's Make this Quick!" Dinner



Thanksgiving is over and amidst the holiday parties, the late nights at work, and the stresses of the season, sometimes we just need something quick and easy for dinner.

It's even better when it can be healthy too. This week's recipe is all that and super delicious, using ingredients you probably already have in your pantry and freezer. We may not all have much time when things get busy, but having some quick go-to meals can be the key to keeping your health and fitness a priority. This is especially true when there are so many unhealthy alternatives presented to us during this time of year!

Treat yourself to a home cooked, fit meal that will warm you up and keep your holiday stresses at bay.


Gather Together:
  • Approximately 3 cups of shredded chicken (grab a rotisserie chicken or shredded chicken from the deli to make this even easier!)
  • 16 oz bag of frozen broccoli (cooked)
  • 1 container of cream of mushroom soup*
  • 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese
  • Garlic powder and pepper to taste

Method:
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Mix all ingredients together in a bowl
  3. Pour into a 9×9 baking dish and cook for 25 minutes.
  4. Serve over Wild Rice or Quinoa
*It's up to you what type of Cream of Mushroom Soup. We prefer brands thats aren't full of unidentifiable ingredients.. Keep it simple and healthy!

That's it! Seriously. The whole meal is prepared and cooked in 30 minutes. Hearty, hot, holiday season dinner that doesn't take up your time, and is so much healthier than going out to eat. Give it a try this week.
Happy Holidays!
