What We Had For Dinner

I really loved this dinner, guys. And it's been one of my few balanced meals this week. The chicken was pretty simple, and the broccoli cheese bake was delicious! Definitely a win in my book, so of course I'm here to share:

Broccoli Cheese Bake

Ingredients:

1 3/4 cups fresh broccoli florets

1 tablespoon cornstarch

1/8 teaspoon salt

Dash pepper

2/3 cup fat-free milk

1 medium onion, chopped

1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

Directions:

1. Place 1 in. of water and the broccoli in a small saucepan, bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer for 3-5 minutes or until crisp-tender. 

2. Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, combine the cornstarch, salt, pepper and milk until smooth. Bring to a boil, cook and stir for 1 minute or until thickened. Stir in the onion and cheddar cheese until cheese is melted. Drain broccoli; stir into cheese sauce. 

3. Transfer to a 1-qt. baking dish coated with cooking spray. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Cover and bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes or until vegetables are tender. *I used the baby ramekins and they cooked for less time*

Chicken in White Wine Sauce

Ingredients:

2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon paprika

1/4 teaspoon pepper

4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves

1 teaspoon olive oil

1/2 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth

1/2 cup white wine

4 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

Directions:

1. Combine the flour, salt, paprika and pepper into a shallow bowl. Add chicken, one piece at a time, coating both sides. 

2. In a large ovenproof skillet coated with cooking spray, brown chicken in oil for 1-2 minutes on each side. Add broth and wine, bring to a boil. Remove from heat. 

3. Cover and bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes. Sprinkle with cheese. 

Bam. That easy! Seriously, all of my recipes are quick and easy. It's one of the things I screen them for. Oh, and healthiness, since I'm trying to be good and all. 

It's rough guys, rough! Why is food so good?

But, I can assure you that this recipe is good and healthy. Score. 

Happy Humpday!
