When a man takes over the kitchen....

Just another reason why I love my husband......
Anyone who knows us will know that I am the chef and he is the dishwasher. However on Monday night he said, "honey I am going to make you dinner." Again anyone who knows me will know that Mon-Fri we eat very healthy with Sat and Sun our cheat days.
Needless to say I was really impressed with what landed on my plate on Monday night.
KLINTS KANDIED VEGGIE CHICKEN PASTA
4 cups of raw spinach
1 red bell pepper
1 cooked chicken breast
1 cup mushrooms
2 cups diced tomatoes
whole wheat pasta (he was fancy and used spinach pasta)
crushed red pepper
sea salt and pepper
Boil water and add pasta
In your pan steam and cook down your spinach with 1/3 cup of water or 1/3 cup of veggie broth
add your diced red bell pepper
add your 2c diced tomatoes
add a pinch of S&P and crushed red pepper
once everything is cooked down add the 1c of mushrooms
at the end add the diced chicken breast.
Place the cooked pasta on you plate
(portion size should be the size of the palm of your hand)
Add KLINTS KANDIED VEGGIES AND CHICKEN on top of your pasta
shave a little parmigiano reggiano.
ENJOY!
*as an easy tip for the week if you plan on grilling out on Sunday throw on 4-5 chicken breasts for the week. This way you have cooked chicken to make several lunches and dinners with throughout the week. There are many healthy things you can do with a chicken breast and clearly my husband stuck to our M-F healthy meal and has been promoted from dishwasher to a part-time chef!
