Healthy Spinach Dip Marinara Chicken Recipe - Michelle Marie Fit (1)

I hate eating the same thing all the time.

It makes me feel like I’m on a “diet”.

So I do my best to test out recipes on a weekly basis to come up with some really yummy and easy recipes.

I pretty much follow my MMF Healthy Meal Plans on a weekly basis. It really keeps me in check and prepared and always with a plan. But I do sub some of the recipes for new ones I’m testing.

Now a days, I find myself making more like 15 minute meals instead of 30 minute meals.

With just one kid its easy to make 30 minute meals but now with 2 kids, baseball 3 times a week, the business and everything else, I find myself in search of those super quick and easy ones. But I still make sure they are yummy ones so that I enjoy eating them. Because if I don’t that’s when I feel like I’m dieting and that’s when I fall off the wagon and end up picking at food from the fridge or pantry shortly after dinner.

But I find that when I really enjoy my dinner, I feel totally satisfied and don’t need anything else. So i really make an effort to make food I enjoy.

One of the things I hate to eat plain and bland is CHICKEN. Which is why you will find so many CHICKEN RECIPES on My Pinterest Boards. So make sure you go there now and click FOLLOW ALL that way you have access to all my recipes and they are all organized for you so you can easily find them. Just bookmark my Pinterest Pageand you will never be left without a ton of options to make for dinner.

I mean, how many times a week can you at plain chicken without feeling like you are going to go crazy LOL.

I made this chicken recipe the other day and everyone loved it…… Danny (my hubby), Nico (my 5 year old son) and Anabelle (my 18 month old daughter). It tasted like a mixture between spinach dip and chicken parmesan. I don’t know, but it is freakin’ insanely delicious and what’s even better is that it took about 10 minutes to prep.

Now that’s a winner!

Remember, that it’s consistency of eating clean that will get you the results you want.

You can try to eat plain and bland and weigh your food and deprive yourself and end up losing 10 lbs in 2 weeks, but in a few weeks you will end up gaining it all back and most of the time even more. So take the time to make your food enjoyable so that you can eat this way consistently.
