I started the new year off with a promise to myself that I would eat healthier foods and I’m happy to report that I’m keeping said promise! Yippee for me!

In the past, after a long day of working at home, it would be so tempting to text my husband and have him swing through a drive-thru and grab something on his way home from work. That practice has come to a screeching halt.

I’m happy to report that I’m now whipping up meals in just a few minutes that are better for me, easy to make and easy to clean up afterward.

 

 

Head to Kroger (Or Your Favorite Grocery Store)

My daughter loves to cook and we enjoy shopping for groceries together. I always make sure I have a shopping list and a weekly menu in mind before heading to Kroger. The shopping list keeps me on point and the menu keeps me from wasting time thinking about what I’m going to cook for dinner.

Grilled Chicken Rotini with Olives & Artichokes

Today, I’m sharing one of my family’s very favorite meals – Grilled Chicken Rotini with Olives & Artichokes.  It only takes 10-15 minutes to make and it’s always a hit. This is a perfect meal for guests, too.

Grilled Chicken Rotini with Olives & Artichokes

To make Grilled Chicken Rotini with Olives & Artichokes, the first thing I do is get the water boiling for the pasta. I add a pinch of sea salt before adding the pasta.

Grilled Chicken Rotini Pasta

While the pasta is boiling (don’t forget to stir occasionally), heat the olive oil in a large skillet.  Add the minced garlic and stir for about a minute.

Add the black olives, artichoke hearts, and diced tomatoes to the skillet. Stir for another minute or two. Pour the mixture into a large bowl.

Tyson Grilled & Ready Chicken Breast Strips

I add the Tyson® Grilled & Ready® Chicken Breast Strips to the skillet and heat until warm. Because Tyson chicken breast strips are fully cooked, it takes no time at all to prepare my pasta dish. I also like the fact that they have no preservatives and are made with 100% natural ingredients.

Once the pasta is cooked, place the pasta in the bowl with the artichoke mixture and add 1/2 cup Wish-Bone® Italian Dressing. Toss gently.

Black olives are my favorite. Of course, I’ve never met an olive I didn’t love.

How exciting! I love how quick this meal is to put together, yet still has so much flavor and good stuff packed into it (plus, I’m a sucker for artichoke hearts).

Glad to hear you’re sticking to eating healthy, I have been unwell lately and I am so tempted to keep eating the junk food but I will resist. This pasta meal looks delicious

This dish looks delicious. I would have to take off the olives, but everything else looks just like something my family would eat! [client]

We love anything with chicken and black olives in it. The grands are coming this weekend and I’ve been trying to figure out what to fix them for Saturday that they will all eat. You just solved my problem :).

Gosh that looks incredible. I’ve never had artichokes before, so I’ll be honest that makes me nervous but when it looks this good, It can’t be too bad right? AMAZING.

Artichokes are so good – you have to try them at least once. 🙂

Hubby loves olives, but I can’t stand them. Do you know how this recipes tastes without them? It looks delicious!! I just can’t get past the taste of them.

Alli January 15, 2016 - 5:29 pm

You could definitely leave the olives out. My husband doesn’t love them as much as I do. Replace them with a veggie of your choice.

Dora Clemons January 16, 2016 - 11:03 pm

Awesome!! I’ll try that 🙂

I can’t wait to try this, but was wondering, do you drain the artichokes first?

Reply
Alli January 21, 2016 - 12:40 pm

Yes, drain them first. I should have added that part to the recipe. 🙂
