Insta-food: Basil Crusted Chicken Parm

 

This little beauty I whipped up when I had no idea what to make for dinner one night. I was staring in my fridge and thinking...how can I make something my husband will actually eat out of chicken, zucchini and half a yellow squash.
Oh yeah, I may have forgot to mention this but the boo doesn't eat veggies. At all. Yeah. So I knew I would have to hide the squash and zuch's in a creative way.
What better way to hide veggies than to pass them off as pasta?!

And guess what, IT WORKED!


This is a win people, because basically if my husband will eat it, so will your 4 year old :)

This recipe was fast, easy and HEALTHY. What more can a girl ask for. Oh yeah, delicious too.

What you'll need: 

2 boneless, skinless, chicken breast 

dried basil 

organic meranera sauce

yellow squash 

zucchini
EVOO

garlic salt 

pepper
optional: mozzarella cheese   

Heavily sprinkle your chicken with basil then pour about 1 1/3 tbs of meranera sauce on each breast. Place in the oven on 420 degrees for 30 min. 

While your chicken is baking, use a potato peeler to create "pasta" out of your zucchini and squash.
I peeled mine right into a skillet, added a tbs of EVOO and seasoned with a pinch of garlic salt, some fresh cracked pepper, and another pinch of basil.
Sauté the "noodles" until they are flimsy and pasta like.
When your chicken has about 10 mins left, you can add the optional mozzarella cheese.
Place chicken over your healthy pasta and bon appetit!
