Roasted Chicken & Veggies


Chicken with Veggies for Lunch!



Breakfast: Bowl of Cheerios!
1 cup Cheerios with Milk
5 oz. Glass of OJ
Cup of coffee, black
Cheerios is a great cereal because it tastes so sweet, but actually is very low in sugar.  Meanwhile it is loaded with vitamins and whole grains.


 

Lunch: Rotisserie Chicken with Veggies

Sautéed Escarole with White Beans, cooked in EVOO, garlic & red pepper flake/ salt and a little low sodium chicken broth
Pan Browned Sweet Potatoes (Microwaved first to soften then cooked in EVOO & Salt in cast iron pan)
½ Avocado
I topped everything with a few shakes of Parmesan Cheese for a little added flavor
Glass of Water



Snack:   1 oz of Dark Chocolate (72% Cacao/ Trader Joe’s makes this affordable)
Cup of Coffee, black

  1. I use Ken's Steakhouse light balsamic dressing and it has less fat and calories.
