The Blonde Diaries

I have had some fun in the kitchen lately. It seems like a while since I have posted anything food related but I have been pretty hard at work looking for some new recipes to make to keep me on the track to weight loss and not weight gain. Last week, Mike and I were in a rut and I was tired of eating beef products. It seems like we are in a rut and only eating beef and that is not too healthy. So I bought some chicken but wasn’t sure what to do with it that would be quick and easy. Well, I saw that we had spaghetti sauce, shake and bake, spaghetti noodles, and laughing cow cheese. hmm…

How about Moc Chicken Parmigiana? Talk about an excellent meal and very little prep work. I had Mike coat the chicken with shake and bake and we tossed it into the oven. While the chicken was baking I started boiling the water for the noodles. When the noodles went in, I poured the sauce on the chicken and continued cooking. Once everything was done I cut up the laughing cow cheese into chunks and put on the spaghetti/chicken mixture till they turned a very light golden color (this cheese does not melt). A very tasty twist on an Italian favorite without all the fat and calories! You could even make it healthier by substituting white pasta noodles for whole grain noodles. I am going to try that next time for me at least. This recipe I made up on the fly will be making it into our permanent rotation. Give it a try next time you are stumped.
