This chicken is a great for tacos or to top a salad! It's simple, & grilled. Grilled always equals awesome.
I got this recipe from Picky Palate:
Grilled Lime Chicken
This grilled chicken is a great alternative to the Crockpot Taco Chicken I make. This version doesn't use the package of taco seasoning, you make your own, which I really like. I'll usually make the seasoning ahead of time so it can marinate for awhile (a least an hour, but the longer the better).
The leftover chicken is great for salads, or chopped up and used on nachos or in quesadillas!

Cashew Chicken Stir Fry
We love stir fry around here. I usually have a bag of frozen stir fry veggies on hand at all times. It's quick and easy for those nights when you think "Oh crap, it's 3pm and I didn't plan dinner yet". I mean, I try to have dinner figured out for the whole week in advance, but sometimes it doesn't work out. Maybe I forgot to pull something I need out of the freezer, or maybe I was supposed to grab carryout and forgot! It happens...
So occasionally - I like to use fresh veggies to make stir fry. Usually I'll realize I have some leftover veggies from other dinners, add to it whatever else we like, and have at it! You really can't go wrong with stir fry, just throw whatever meat and veggies you like in a skillet with some oil and soy sauce and boom. Simple, healthy, delicious dinner. This particular recipe I found on Weight Watchers is good for you and adds some yummy cashews so you can't go wrong.
Recipe from Weight Watchers:
Cashew Chicken
I did make a couple small changes to this. I didn't include the bamboo shoots, just because I don't particularly like them. I replace them with whatever I feel like at the time: Broccoli, green peppers, baby corn, etc. I also use brown rice in lieu of white rice, it's supposed to be a little better for you, right?!

Baked Chicken Fajitas
I love these things. We actually haven't had them in awhile because I loved them so much I made them a lot and we got a little burnt out. But there is no denying their deliciousness :)
This is another recipe I got from Six Sisters Stuff:
Baked Chicken Fajitas
These go great with the Low Carb/High Fiber tortillas we like. Also, they reheat very well, these are one of the only dishes I will actually eat leftover! That's saying a lot...

Veggie Quinoa Chili
I love this healthy, vegetarian chili. I made it a couple of times last winter. I like that it is vegetarian, but it's filling enough for Jer, too!
This recipe can be found on Two Peas & Their Pod:
Vegetarian Quinoa Chili
This is another recipe that I love just the way it is, I didn't change, add, or remove anything.
This recipe makes a lot. If you're not feeding 10 people, you'll have leftovers. I haven't tried freezing it yet, but don't see that being an issue. I have had it the next day for lunch and it reheats well in the microwave which is nice.
