This easy chicken marinade infuses chicken with great combination of flavors. The overnight marinade ensures the chicken breast stays moist. By grilling the chicken it adds amazing flavor. You can always add little Greek or regular yogurt to to the marinade to add some flavor with a delicious coating around the chicken. But I have been keeping it simple and lower in calories. If you pan sear the chicken you can make a sauce with the drippings with little butter, flour, lemon juice, salt/pepper.

I wanted to share a very light healthy recipe today. Adding a fish like Salmon to your weekly menu is a great way to boost essential nutrients. Fish in general has lower calories and saturated fat compared to other meats. It’s a good source of protein, fatty acids, essential vitamins and minerals. There is also no need for tenderizing or marinating fish, so that makes it prefect for a quick healthy weeknight meal that is full of flavor.

The delicious flavors are from layers of simmered meat sauce, creamy ricotta cheese mixture, Lasagna noodles with Parmesan and mozzarella cheese.

It may seem a little intimidating to bake an entire fillet of salmon. I don’t think you can actually go wrong with making fish. It cooks/bakes very fast, so it does make an easy meal to put together. I like baking the whole fillet because you can have it with different meals. My kids love baked fish with rice with a lot of lemon. My husband is usually always on a diet so he enjoys it with brown rice. So it’s very nice to make some main meal components with some sides. This way you won’t feel like you are eating the same thing after meal prepping, it will give you some options.
Salmon turns a beautiful opaque color as it cooks. It also will flake easily when it’s done baking. You don’t want to bake it longer or else it will loose moisture and will be tough. You can definitely use smaller fillets as well. I just happen to pick up this large one.
You can enjoy this with a side of white/brown rice and roasted veggies. Salmon also works great in tacos and in salads.

We all have heard from someone to have chicken soup when we are sick. Chicken soup is delicious but it’s the actual stock that brings all the flavor and nutrition to the soup. Stock is made from the bones, meat, veggies and aromatics that are simmered for hours. You are basically extracting minerals, collagen, gelatin from these bones. Stock and broth are not any new remedies, they have been consumed by people for years. But I don’t think this amazing liquid needs to be only made in winter or when you are under the weather. I have been making this stock regularly. It’s really beneficially for your immune system, your gut. I add it to so many dishes especially for the kids to keep their immune systems running well. I especially keep an eye out for organic chicken on sale. Homemade chicken stock is amazing, you can literally just drink a cup. It’s actually so easy to make a small batch and use it in your everyday dishes or even freeze. I think once you are making your own you will hardly reach for the one at the grocery store. Not only will you be making easy homemade stock but you can use the shredded chicken in many recipes like, soup, chili, tacos, salads. It’s a great way to meal prep.
