Okay - everyone always says this sounds gross but they try it and become converts :) It is a great low-carb, high protein meal with heart healthy, satisfying good fat from natural peanut butter. It tastes like Thai peanut sauce :) so yummy. and I have gotten very lean eating this as my mainstay in the past.
Chicken, Greens beans and Peanut Butter
I prepare meals en masse ahead of time. So start by spraying 4 Pyrex baking dishes with cooking spray (this makes them clean up easier). Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Place one layer of frozen chicken breasts in each pan, sprinkle liberally with Chachere's Creole Seasoning (available in low sodium). Cover loosely with foil an pace two pans top rack, two bottom rack.
Cook time depends on the thickness of your chicken. usually I set timer for 22 minutes, then switch the pans top-bottom and do another 2 minutes. I like to have it a little underdone so when i reheat my meals it is perfect.
Once chicken is baked and cooled enough to handle...
Cut chicken into bite-size pieces and measure out into plastic-ware containers in the amount you need per meal I use 4oz portions), next add 1 cup french cut frozen green beans, a liberal dash of more creole seasoning and then one tablespoon all natural peanut butter. I have also used almond butter and cashew butter - both yummy!
Put the lids on and stack these meals up in your freezer!
They take about 31/2 minutes to reheat, stir well and enjoy!
This is also a very inexpensive meal! Chicken breasts at costco are 10lbs/19.99, french cut green beans usually less than $1 a bag, and peanut butter is pretty cheap per oz.
