Tonight's Dinner: Smothered chicken

Healthy & full of flavor!

This dish is packed with grilled chicken and simple sauteed vegetables. It's perfect for a quick weeknight dinner.

Chicken is always a great go-to meal,  because it's quick and can be cooked in so many delicious ways. This recipe takes simple grilled chicken and covers it with simple sauteed vegetables with just a little cheese.

We went light on the cheese to keep the calorie count low. However, just because the calorie count is low, don't think the flavor is anything but big!
