School has started again and that means i'm back to cooking for myself on my college budget. Challenge accepted!
Yesterday I did my first shopping trip of the semester and it was pricey, which I expected. It costs more when you need to stock the kitchen so i'm hoping next week will be better.
As for this week's menu, i'm dishing out a delicious chicken dish that's quick and easy, just what I need for this first week of classes. Here's what you'll need:
INGREDIENTS:
-Cooking spray
-Chicken breasts (4-5)
-1 cup shredded mozzarella, plus more for sprinkling
-Handful of spinach
-Pasta sauce (watch out for high sodium and sugar!)
INSTRUCTIONS:
For chicken
-Pre-heat oven to 350. Spray an 8x8 baking dish with cooking spray.
-Grab a handful of spinach and place in the center of a chicken breast. Add a sprinkle of mozzarella and roll the chicken breast around the filling. Place the roll seam-side down in the dish. Repeat with remaining chicken.
-Pour 1 cup pasta sauce over the top of the chicken and sprinkle with remaining mozzarella to taste.
-Cover dish with foil and bake for 45 minutes or until chicken is fully cooked, removing foil with 5 minutes remaining to allow the cheese to brown slightly.
-Serve with pasta or zucchini noodles and additional sauce if desired, Enjoy!
