Healthy Recipes

I feel like I cook the same things over and over, I try to cook healthy or change the Recipe to be healthy.

what are some of your healthy Recipes?

thanks!

Re: Healthy Recipes

I would LOVE the chicken cacciatore and greek chicken burgers.

thank you so much!!!

Re: Healthy Recipes

I don't measure really... but here goes:

Greek Chicken Burgers:

1 pkg ground chicken
1/4 - chopped red onion (depends on how big the onion is.. maybe 1/4 cup)
2 cloves chopped garlic
black pepper
reduced fat feta cheese - depends on how much you like
thawed chopped frozen spinache - 1/4 cup, maybe more
breadcrumbs - handful to hold them together
oregano
*grill seasoning is a perfect addition, i can't use it cause DH can't eat seeds and they all have fennel seed.. so i add all the other spices that are in it!

I make it into 4 pattys and grill them or make them in a pan. we actually like them better not on a bun... but use pitas if we do.

We also buy greek yogurt sauce from a diner or greek restaurant to put on them!

Re: Healthy Recipes

thank you, these sound great! - I make a turkey burger like this with spinach and cheese, no bun and I don't measure either.

Re: Healthy Recipes

Chicken Cacciatore - Crock pot edition!

1 - Pkg chicken breasts (i usually cut them in half)
1 - 1 large can of tomato puree or crushed tomatoes
1 - small can of tomatoe paste
1 - large onion chopped (large chop)
4 - cloved garlic (chopped, we like alot!)
1 carrot - grated in
1/4 cup or so of white wine
black pepper
pinch crushed red pepper flakes
pinch of italian seasoning

serve over pasta!

i put it all in the slow cooker on low and let it simmer all day. Chicken literally falls apart!

Re: Healthy Recipes

this Chicken Cacciatore sounds amazing - I have never used my crock pot.

Can you prepare it the night before and put it in the fridge and put it on in the morning?
