This is a YUMMY dinner! I suggest enlisting the kids to help prepare part of it the night before while you're making dinner, packing lunches, or doing dishes.
First, I have the kids pound out the chicken by giving them a cutting board, a ziploc baggie w/a chicken breast in it, and a large can of fruit/veggies from the pantry. You are not going to open then can. The kids will use it to hammer out the chicken.
Simple Soy Sauce:
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/3 cup mayo ( I always use low fat or fat free)
4 teaspoons vinegar
1 clove garlic pressed
Combine and stir
Chicken (4 breasts):
- Cover each breast with fresh spinach leaves.
-Sprinkle low fat feta cheese over the spinach.
-Roll each hammered chicken breast and apply 2 - 3 toothpicks to hold together
-Place in baking dish.
-Pour 1/2 of your simple soy sauce mixture over the chicken.
-Place fresh or canned mushrooms on top of each chicken breast.
-Bake
When done and plated, pour the remainder of the simple soy sauce over each chicken breast.
For this meal I usually just boil or bake some potatos. Tonight I boiled, sliced, topped with butter & parsley. For myself, I substituted the potato for shirataki tofu noodles. I have an intolerance to barley and yeast, so I often substitute. Shirataki noodles are a very yummy and healthy substitute for carbs, pasta, rice, potatoes. They are purchased in a bag at your local health/nature store. Open, drain, heat!!! How's that for a healthy option for the Mom on the go?!? The noodles take on the taste of whatever you put on them. You can heat them with spices, sauces, etc. Tonight I stirred in a bit of the simple soy sauce and mushrooms.
Then for another side, I added a small spinach salad with tomato, olives, feta, and light Greek dressing.
ENJOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
