Lemon Chicken over Ricotta Squash
Wednesday, September 30, 2015From our skinny table to yours...
We posted this meal on our Facebook page a while back and got SO much interest we wanted to share the recipe. It may not be 'Fall-ish', but it's super light and delicious! (meanwhile the crockpot is cooking away, so be on the lookout for all things FALL)
This meal is oh-so light, oh-so refreshing and only 5 ingredients! The weather is cooling down and the nights have been beautiful, so whip it up in under 30 minutes and enjoy it outdoors (as we did)!
This is as tasty as it looks! The true beauty in this dish is that it can be on your plate in under 30 minutes!
This dish consists of Sautéed Lemon Garlic Chicken mixed into spaghetti squash with a touch of ricotta cheese, olive oil and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice! That's it! This is a fabulous base and any citrus would pair well! Mix it up and serve this with fresh orange or lime next time!
We served alongside asparagus, but any veggie will do :)
This has quickly become a staple in our homes and we hope you LOVE it too!

Lemon chicken with a lot of squash is looking a very special dish for me because I never able to tasted these type of dishes before. The rush essay discount code is really nice and good for all the community members.
ReplyDeleteI am happy that I found discounts by Freshessays.com and save money on studying. It's a nice chance to finally taste ricotta squash.
