Lemon Tahini Chicken

August 10, 2016

chucWhen it comes to weeknight meals, simplicity is key. Of course having healthy options on hand is always a priority. Weekdays can be unpredictable and having the consistency of a healthy meal on the table can give us some structure to the week.

Low-hassle meals that are balanced and don’t require a lot of ingredients, are most ideal when it comes to a Tuesday night. Chicken breasts are almost always in my freezer for a quick protein source. While I used to make my own cauliflower rice with a food processor (a huge undertaking- let me tell you), I’ve since discovered the pre-made version at Trader Joe’s. I highly recommend grabbing one to pair with quick weeknight proteins.
