Remember that line at the end of Ferris Bueller’s Day Off where he said “Life Moves Pretty Fast?”
I had no idea then what that would really mean until I became a mom.
Every day after that has been a sprint, but unfortunately there are few too many rest spots and the race never ends.
That’s why no matter how much I try to meal plan healthy dishes for my family, there are some days “it ain’t happening.”
But I have learned a shortcut that doesn’t require going through the drive thru and take less time than getting online to look up the menu for your favorite delivery.
Using Tyson® Grilled & Ready® Fully Cooked Refrigerated Chicken, I’m now able to create a quick lunch or dinner that I can make in less than five minutes (yes, 5), my kids will eat, the adults will like and doesn’t blow our calorie count for the week on one meal. That’s right, quick and lowfat chicken recipes.
Just like my normal grocery staple when I run to Walmart for bagged salad, milk ,and eggs in the refrigerated section, I’ve added Tyson® Grilled & Ready® Fully Cooked Refrigerated Fajita Chicken Strips or Tyson® Grilled & Ready® Fully Cooked Refrigerated Oven Roasted Diced Chicken Breast to the list. They are a quick and easy way to make a meal just for one or the whole family when the day goes fast than we can keep up with!
And since I’m always working to find a recipe that’s not just good to eat, but good for you to eat, these recipes with Tyson® aren’t just easy and quick to make, I’ve made them lowfat, too. And did I also mention most of these are made with less five ingredients! #everydayeffortless, right?
