Italian chicken, mushroom, and zucchini skillet

                                                      

Hooray for good food! I want to start doing low carb dinners! For several reasons,

1. Ethan is just a happier person when he eats good.

2. I have more energy when I eat good.

3. I don't feel like a fat blob.

4. I want to look good for a few wedding coming up. 

So low carb high protein it is! I was looking for things that are low carb but taste good so I don't feel like I'm wasting away. I came across a couple of things. I won't post them until I cook them so you can know if it's worth the effort.

This one I have to say is AMAZING! And it was nice to hear from mister "super chef" that it looked and smelled amazing. Score! I usually get "oh you should add this" or "you should make it the way my dad makes it!" Sigh. Don't get me wrong. I love Aaron's cooking! Anyways. This one was pretty simple to do. My only problem was that I didn't have skillet big enough so I have to improvise... (hint hint on the skillet) But it went down pretty well. You can the recipe on my "made it, and loved it!" page on my pinterest. I'll also put the link down below. What really caught my eye was the mushrooms mmmmmmmmmmm.... Mushrooms.... 

These are the kind I bought because I'm lazy and didn't want to cut up whole mushrooms. If you use canned mushrooms, I will come to your house and kick some butt. NO CANNED MUSHROOMS!

What else caught my eye was the sautee starters. I'd never heard of them before. And I wasn't quite sure where to look for them in the grocery store but I eventually found them and let me tell ya, this might have been the least healthiest part of this meal but oh my goodness did it make that chicken taste amazing! 

This is what it looks like. It comes in several kinds. I can't remember the kinds, but this is the kind you need. The Italian one.

It only took me maybe 45 minutes to cook the whole thing. I didn't do the oven part. It really doesn't need it. If you do the oven part and it turns out any differently let me know.

Here's the finished product. What's REALLY good on it is balsamic vinegar! We always have some at our house but I've never really liked it. But it makes this taste amazing. Don't ruin it with cheese. There is enough combination of flavors going on here without cheese getting thrown into the mix. Seriously though. Super easy, super fast, and super good :) I'll be posting more dishes that I've tried when I get around to making them :)
