Simple Sante Fe Chicken Packets

I am currently meal prepping dinners and everything on Sunday mornings because my husband is gone Sunday night through Friday evening for 10 weeks and he needs to bring food with him. I prepare his meals and mine and my sons' meals for the week to make things a bit easier for everyone. Yesterday, I made this Sante Fe Chicken Packet, which is normally a grilled dinner, but I did not want to grill so I made it in the oven instead (click link for grilling instructions).

I had it for dinner tonight and it was delicious! It is super easy to reheat and it is a one container meal, which makes me happy! :)

INGREDIENTS

1 can (15 oz each) Rosarita® Premium Whole Black Beans, drained, rinsed
2 cups frozen whole kernel corn
1 can (10 oz each) Ro*Tel® Original Diced Tomatoes & Green Chilies, drained
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
PAM® Original No-Stick Cooking Spray
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (5 ozeach)

DIRECTIONS

Preheat oven at 375°F

Stir together beans, corn, drained tomatoes and cumin in medium bowl.

Place chicken in 13x9-inch baking dish sprayed with cooking spray. Spoon bean mixture over chicken; cover dish with aluminum foil. Bake in 375°F oven 30 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink in centers.

21 Day Fix containers:

1 Red - chicken

1 Green - corn and tomotoes

1 Yellow - black beans

Enjoy!

Healthy Comfort Foods for Game Day (21 Day Fix Approved)

It's Game Day for the Patriots and Ravens! I hate, hate, HATE bye weeks! After waiting for two weeks for a Patriots' game, I am very excited to watch the game this afternoon. Big games are only made better with good foods. The game is bound to make me stressed, excited, happy, sad, discouraged, angry, etc and with those emotions comes eating (even though I am working through this problem...).

Instead of reaching for a bag of chips or piece of pizza from the local pizza shop, I want to be proactive and create guilt free comfort foods. Some of the possibilities for today include: quinoa pizza bites, almond crusted chicken tenders, cheeseburger salad, and cauliflower crust pizza.
