Chicken Sun Dried Tomato Pasta

 

2 Breasts of Chicken

1/3 box Green Lentil / quinoa Pasta

1/3 box Purple pasta

½ bag of Brown Rice Penne Pasta

1 jar of Sun Dried Tomatoes (Trader Joes)

¼ bag of Roasted Pine Nuts (Trader Joes-Pignolas)-Optional

4 cloves of Garlic-Minced

Extra Virgin Olive Oil

*Boil the Brown Rice Penne Pasta for 1 minute, then add the Purple pasta and the Green Lentil and Quinoa pasta and continue to cook for 8 minutes.  Remove immediately, drain and rinse with cool water to stop the cooking (or it will get mushy DO  NOT OVER COOK)! Drizzle oil over pasta and mix, til pasta is coated (This will make leftovers more enjoyable).

 

*Boil chicken for 15-20 until cooked through (white center). Cool Chicken until you can handle it, and then shred the Chicken (this can be done the night before if you’d like). 

 

*Place 3 Tbls of Olive Oil in Saute pan and heat on medium heat, then throw in the minced garlic til golden.  Then toss in the entire jar (oil included) of the sun dried tomatoes (you may cut them if you like smaller pieces), stir with the garlic occasionally until heated through.  Toss in the Pine nuts and stir, then toss in the chicken.  At this point more oil may be added until all the chicken is coated, Toss in the pasta and Serve.  There should be enough for quite a few meals.

(1:1 Oats to Liquid)

1 Cup Milk – I recommend Vanilla Almond Milk (or Coconut Milk)

½ Cup of Strawberries, Blueberries or Bananas (smashed up)

½ Scoop of Vanilla Protein

 

In a deep bowl, Mix Oats, Milk and Fruit Together AT NIGHT. In the Morning, Microwave for 1 Minute (watch to make sure the oats do not overflow), before serving, add Protein, Mix and serve.

 

**If needed, you may add a little bit more milk in the morning if the oats are too dry.

 

A huge thank you to Carol, who took overnight oats a step further, and created this Smorgasbord of recipes:

Mason Jar Overnight Oats

 

For 1 Serving:  ½ Cup of Oats

                         ½ Cup Liquid of Choice

 

**Put in a Mason Jar, add your choice of seasoning, refrigerate overnight**

 

Notes: 

1)  To add Protein Powder, first dissolve in liquid of choice as if making a protein shake.

2)  Use real maple syrup…Not pancake Syrup

3)  For Yogurt, Greek whole plain works well
