green protein bowl

A couple of weeks ago, I came across this delicious and healthy sounding recipe on Jeremy & Kathleen, and I had to try it myself. If you want the recipe, please visit Jeremy & Kathleen's post. They've also included a TON of cool nutritional information graphics, so their post is definitely worth checking out!

 The recipe calls for you to make your own spinach pesto. I don't own a food processor, so I made mine in the blender. Definitely more labor intensive, but eventually I made it!

The Green Protein Bowl.

The recipe from Jeremy & Kathleen made enough for me to eat this for dinner for an ENTIRE week. M wouldn't even try it. He was grossed out by how it looked, but trust me when I tell you it's delicious! This will definitely become a staple in my clean eating diet!

M's signature dish is his authentic Crawfish and Shrimp Gumbo. Unfortunately, I'm sworn to secrecy on this one, so no recipe for this!

This week I'm going to share a few of our most recent cooking experiences. Today's recipe doesn't really have a name. I kind of created it after reading this post by Kari, and modifying it to my liking. M calls it Spinach Chicken, so I guess we'll go with that!

The only seasoning I use for this recipe is Adobo, you can find it in the Goya / "hispanic foods" section of your grocery store.

Thoroughly cook your chicken in the frying pan with a little olive oil and Adobo, then cut into bite sized pieces.

Dice a Green Bell Pepper!

Grab your frozen spinach and artichoke hearts!

Throw all your veggies in the frying pan, including the still frozen spinach. Sprinkle some more Adobo over the veggies.

Throw your chicken back in the pan with the veggies, and stir all ingredients until they are well mixed.

Cover, and bring to a simmer. I usually let this simmer for 20-30 minutes.

Plate and devour!
