65/365 Zucchini Chicken Bake/Paleo Meal

Friends and Fitness Enthusiasts,

I decided that I am not ready to commit to whole day of following the Paleo Diet. Instead, I decided to have a Paleo Meal using the zucchini I still had from the market and frozen chicken breast.

Half eaten, sorry! It just smelled so good!
Ingredients:
2 tbsp grape seed oil
1 clove of garlic, smashed
1 zucchini, sliced into thin rounds
1 yellow squash, sliced into thin rounds
1 bell pepper, sliced
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/2 c. diced tomatoes (the spice mix I used included dehydrated tomatoes)
1 frozen chicken breast

Recipe:
1. Preheat oven to 375
2. Heat oil in skillet until warm. Add garlic, cook until fragrant
3. Add zucchini, yellow squash, and bell pepper; saute until soft.
4. Place frozen chicken breast in baking dish. Drizzle oil on top, sprinkle seasonings of choice.
5. Top frozen chicken breast with sauteed vegetables.
6. Bake uncovered for 40 minutes or until chicken is thoroughly cooked through.

I thought this was fantastically simple and delicious. I made it up and it ended up turning out well, yay! And it's so healthy. Fresh veggies, skinless chicken breast, garlic? Mmm mmm yum!

In health,

Lauren
