Healthy Quick Meals

One Pan Chicken Dinner 

There is a misconception that healthy meals are time consuming to prepare, expensive and tasteless.  Well actually the expensive part is in fact true, but two out of three ain't bad 😉. 


The key is in prepping prior to the actual cooking time, you can also try to make 'one pots' so that cooking time is reduced.  Because you're trying to eat healthier, it doesn't mean that the only seasoning that can be utilized is salt and black pepper or none at all.  You can add any seasoning you desire based on your palette.  I add grated ginger to almost everything I prepare but there are many other options.
I recently tried a one pan chicken dinner and it was quick and easy and tasty (if I do say so myself), see recipe below.  Note that I prepared for one so you can increase portions based on the number of persons you're preparing for. 

                                    

You'll need;                                                          
2 chicken breasts 
Green beans (your preference of beans)
6 potatoes - halved 
olive oil, salt, pepper and paprika

fresh seasonings/herbs - chadon benny, pimento peppers, onion, garlic, chives 


Method
Season chicken and place in the center of a baking pan and place the green beans and potatoes on either side.
Drizzle beans and potatoes with olive oil, salt, pepper, paprika and toss. 
Cover baking pan with foil, place in a preheated oven at 350° and bake for 1 hour. Sprinkle with chopped parsley when done.  
And....walla !!!  A Healthy feel good dinner.

Hi, 





My name is Belinda (Belle), I created this lifestyle blog to document my journey of adapting a  healthier lifestyle.  I believe that health encompasses both the mind and body, indeed to achieve complete health and harmony the journey starts with the mind. 

There was a time when I believed that eating ice-cream for breakfast was okay because I wasn't committing a crime (actually it was Uni days when I was living alone and felt I was adulting). As I've grown older  I'm more aware of the impact of one's food choices on overall health. 

There was also a time when I was unaware that you have to harness your thoughts to truly control your life.  Every negative thought that flitted through my mind was explored and I engaged in endless hours of 'borrowing tomorrow's worries'.  I've since gotten better and controlling my thoughts and therefore my controlling my life.  

My blog will feature information on Beauty, Healthy eating and developing a Healthy mind all in my quest of achieving a healthier lifestyle.

Join me on my Journey to a Clean Belle of Health.......
