Healthy Fridge Dinner

Some days time gets the better of you and you don’t get to the grocery store, so dinner has to come from what is already in your fridge. This is a healthy and pretty awesome dinner to have from ingredients that are already in the fridge.

Chicken with mushrooms and lemon with warm sautéed tomato and zucchini salad

4 chicken breasts

3 lemons

1 box mushrooms

2 zucchini

½ box cherry tomatoes

Pound out chicken so that it is thin and even. Squeeze the juice of one of the lemons over the chicken and slice another of the lemons and put a slice on top of each piece of chicken. Sauté in a little olive oil. When the chicken breasts are cooked through, cover them and put them in a warm oven.

Swish some more olive oil around the pan and add the mushrooms. Add the squeezed lemon skins and slice the third lemon into slices and add them to the mushrooms. Season liberally with salt and pepper. Add the chicken and cook for a few minutes together. When the mushrooms are browned, stick them in an oven proof bowl and put them in the warm oven.

Swizzle a little bit of olive oil around another warm pan and add the tomatoes. Cover and allow to simmer for about 5-7 mins. Slice the zucchini and then add them to the pan. Sauté for about 8 more mins until the tomatoes are bursting and the zucchini is lightly browned. Season with salt and pepper.

Spoon the mushroom mixture onto the chicken and serve next to the warm zucchini and tomato salad.
