Buffalo Chicken Celery Sticks Healthy Recipe

As you can see by the recipes on the site lately I’m trying to lighten things up a little. That doesn’t mean I’m not going to fry up a few things on the weekends but during the week it’s going to be a little lighter like these Chicken Stuffed Portobello Mushrooms we had the other night for dinner. For now anyway…
I can’t stand boring food though. Boring food isn’t going to keep me sticking to any kind of diet, I’ve learned that before. So what I set out to do is make more interesting food that’s going to make me actually want to eat it.
Agree?

Healthy Roasted Chicken and Veggies Recipe

This is a long time favorite recipe of mine and I can’t believe I haven’t shared it yet. It’s  a “one pan” type of dish where you basically place everything in the pan and bake. Minutes later, a hearty and delicious dinner platter is ready. The reason this dish cooks so quickly is because of the chicken is cut into small bite size pieces and the oven temperature. The results are charred veggies and juicy chicken.
This is great when you are hungry but lazy and are on the edge of calling take out. Instead, pop these healthy veggies and chicken in the oven and I assure you, they will be ready before the take out is supposed to arrive. Plus, they are 1000x healthier and tastier. Serve these veggies with a  side of rice, quinoa, or bread.
