So I made this for dinner last night. Yes, I know it was Meatless Monday. But hello, this recipe is only 243 calories per serving! And chicken breast is so blah that it’s nearly considered meatless…if that makes any sense.

I took this recipe from my new favorite site, Eating Well. It usually serves 4 people, but I adapted it for 2 but kept the vegetable portions the same, so it’s extra healthy. So much so that I snuck in another glass of wine to make up for the lack of calories…

I’ve just used whatever veggies I had in my fridge, feel free to adapt at your own leisure.
